This location is the most authentic Mexican restaurant in the area that I've tried. I was first taken here by some of my Hispanic co-workers that raved about it and have been several times since. They were initially a restaurant on the left and a convenience store on the right, but have remodelled and now have an insurance building on the left and the restaurant on the right.
I originally got the tortas, but since they switched the restaurant to the other side, they're not exactly the same - still good especially with extra fresh mozzarella, but I can't place exactly what's different. They also sell horchata (a cinnamon rice milk drink)! Lately, we've been obsessed with their birria tacos given by server recommendation, which caused us to visit many days in a row after the first time trying them.
We had our food to go, so we didn’t stay inside long. It’s a nice place, there was absolutely nothing wrong. It seemed clean, just a bit outdated. The service was quick, and the employees were all very nice. The food was on point! The birria tacos and consommé were excellent. Each was full of meat and toppings and seasoned to the last bite. My daughter had soft chicken tacos with lettuce and cheese and those were, as she puts it, “bussin!”
Amazing food! If you love real authentic Mexican food with that feeling like your in Mexico...them give this place a try!
Super good authentic Mexican food! Service was fast and the food was hot! Would definitely recommend the birria tacos!
Taxed for Tacos? Yes we were.... Being that we are from Arizona, we know authentic tacos when we taste them and these are definitely authentic. The trouble in paradise comes with the idea that in order to feed a family of 6 and a guest, that there should be a fee for the privilege of spending money at this establishment. My wife walked in to pay for our food and the gentleman that rang her out, "Re-Rang" the entire order. We ordered Tacos, Cheese-dip and drinks and this guy tried to charge my wife almost $250.
You can always tell that there is going to be something shady when a person looks at you and then goes and takes 10 full minutes to re-ring the order. They charged us way over the menu price and then added a $50 "To Go Fee" to the bill. Of course, that wasn't mentioned up front and it was basically a gratuity that he took. Then a $5.95 service charge on what should have been right around $120 at the most. We didn't sit, we were not served but they decided to charge "Us" a large party gratuity. More than this, they charged more than what their menu stated that the tacos cost. It was really like bartering in Ensenada as a tourist in Mexico, but no Tequila! My wife gave them almost $190.00 for Tacos and Cheese Sauce. I could have had 6 ribeyes from Outback Steakhouse for that. Then, they didn't give her an itemized bill. The dude ripped the itemized bill off of the bag and never gave it back. I know that we don't look like we are from the area, but really? I know that we don't look like the type of people that have over a million views on our Google Maps reviews but... "Surprise".... :-) You just robbed a Level 7 Google Maps reviewer! As I mentioned before, we are from Arizona, so we were really looking for a place that we could dine with every week or two when we are thinking about home, BUT, I don't dig on being profiled and robbed, so we won't be going back. The bottom line, Caveat Emptor "Make Them Give You A Price BEFORE You Go To This Place". If a middle aged dude that tries to act like he can't speak English grabs your bill and starts pecking on a calculator, "Just Leave". This is the type of thing that discourages supporting small, Mom & Pop restaurants. The food isn't worth getting the business... "Do Better"..
Great Food it is really good the salsas are to die for I recommend this Restaurant to everyone try the Birria Tacos With Consome delicious.
Great food , great prices, good service!
Omg! Best and I do mean best mexican food around! Great prices lots of food and terrific flavors. It was my first time there and I asked our waitress what she recommended and she was so sweet and helpful. I hope when we go back...and we will I hope we get her again. We order 1 order of everything on your fajitas you can possibly think of for 2 people and still had enough left over for another meal. $18.99. What!? Oh side note who knew ???? was so good? I'm sure everyone else in the world but dang I'm now hooked. To bad I'm only here for 1 more week. But to EVERYONE reading this....GO THERE. you will not be disappointed. Uh unless you actually think taco bell is mexican food! Lmao ????
