Tapas time! Yes Please!…read more Had dinner here on a whim on a cold Saturday night. As soon as we walked in we noticed the place was jammed packed. We were lucky to get seated at the last two spots at the bar since we didn't have a reservation. The bar seating was actually nice because they had a nice display of liquor to show off. The waitress/waiters were very nice. They quickly got waters for us a couple of glasses of wine. We really like Spanish wines and they had a few Tempranillo wines to choose from so that was nice. We decided to share some Tapas and we were overwhelmed with all the options. Everything looked so good! We finally decided on the sautéed mushrooms, grilled shrimp (gambas), honey eggplant which was a nice sweet surprise and roasted potatoes with a yummy sauce. Everything tasted fresh and had great flavors. The service was great and the staff was very attentive and polite. I am curious now to try their Pallela but that's for next time!

It's a small space and at dinner time, it's packed. I suggest making a reservation if you plan to come at peak time. It's not fancy but it's good. The staff was working very hard, but for a small staff, they were pretty attentive. We enjoyed all of our food. My favorite was the chicken paella and the chorizo sausage. The prices were also affordable for the amount of food provided. I recommend and I'd stop back in!

The salsa was a little bland, but the chips were good. I got the chicken flautas and really enjoyed them! They were the right amount of crispy. The rice and beans were good as well. My husband got the chicken quesadillas and thought they were good! Minimal greasiness too. The side of guac was amazing and we wish we had ordered some! Overall, we'd come back!

The taco salads - both the beef and chicken - although plentiful were also lacking in flavor. It appeared the meats were not marinaded with any spices of note. We were disappointed On a positive note, the Cadillac margarita was very well prepared and I enjoyed having Modelo beer on tap.

The chicken was a little bland. The tostado was just a few tacos broken in half - felt like cheating and a letdown. They also used a ton of lettuce as filler. The service was fantastic, even during a busy rush hour. However, the food quality was such that while I wouldn't turn it down I'd definitely go somewhere else next time.

That said, I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. The food was just okay, especially for the price. The portions were on the smaller side and felt a bit expensive for what you get. They do offer gluten-free options, which is always appreciated. Overall, a decent, convenient spot if you're nearby, but not necessarily a destination restaurant.

It looks nice inside the Hilton hotel. A group of us arrived on a Sunday early evening with…read moreunnecessary reservations. We each had an entree, shared 2 orders of the beef empanadas (Star of the show!), and a total of 5 cocktails and 2 beers. The bill came to just over $300 before tip. This isn't horrible for a tapas spot, but the taste of the entrees were just not worth it. That, and the amount of alcohol you get in most of the cocktails. So much ice and like 2 sips of drink. There's 1 drink with aperol and champagne that is big and you get the remainder of the small champagne as a side car though. We had 2 of the paellas and they were on the smaller side for paella. The flavor was meh and nothing really stood out. I had the steak frites and it was such a small portion of steak. Maybe 4 oz? And the char flavor was so overpowering. The chimichurri I was looking forward to was extremely mild in flavor. The fries were cooked nicely though. Our server was friendly but forgetful. She kept forgetting parts of our order and whether she had already done something or not. Was a bit odd. Overall, I won't be making an effort to come back here.

This place lives up to the hype - the corn tortillas are tasty and a bit fluffy, but structured…read moreenough to hold up to all the taco toppings and not fall apart. A lot of places double up on the tortillas for this reason, but no need here. We ordered the birria, carnitas, and cabeza tacos, chicken sopes, beans, rice, sweet plantains, sweet rice pudding and horchata. Standouts were the carnitas and cabeza for me - very delicious in their simplicity, the meat is seasoned and cooked to perfection. Birria was also very good but overhyped IMO (novelty factor). The chicken sopes were way bigger than expected, could easily be a meal on its own and the masa tart was pretty good. Our table liked the green sauce to add zip to the food. It was very sunny when we went, so it was blinding and hot to be sitting inside, hope they install a shade at some point. They seem to only serve in takeout containers, so eating at a table requires getting a bit creative for a "plate" etc. There's a small lot behind the building and street parking is pretty easy. I will definitely be returning to try the lengua and more things next time!

Have had this place on my list to try and it is a must! SO delicious. I cannot wait to go again and…read moretry more! We got the carne asade and chicken taco especial, the hibiscus tea, and churros! The tacos were delish! I usually opt for flour tortillas, however they make their corn tortillas and they are the soft ones, so I wanted to try it as it comes - I was not disappointed! The tacos come in 4 to a meal, so we so split two and two. Naturally, I prefer steak but both the chicken and steak were phenomenal. Lots of flavor!! The taco especial, has onions and cilantro and a nice lime squeeze on the side that is a nice flavor burst and addition. If you want the lettuce, cheese, tomato, etc. then you want the americano version. The tacos come with two sauces, both of which were spicy but you can tell were made/fresh! But that hibiscus tea - wow!! So delish! It was sweet and flavorful and a sip of freshness!! The churros were also incredible. Not that I didn't think I'd like the dulce de leche filling but it was um-yes yum! The outside was nice and crispy obv coated in cinnamon and sugar and then the inside was soft and doughy but not raw dough, just perfection. The dipping sauce was excellent too - they could provide a little bit more of it but we made it work. Anyways, highly recommend. It's fresh and authentic- clearly homemade with good ingredients!! Can't wait to try more from the menu!

The interior of this is place is absolutely amazing! You will feel like you are in Mexico. Very colorful with lots of hand made Mexican tiles adorning the walls. I didn't have time to explore the menu (I also didn't have my glasses) but once I got back to my car I checked it out! The variety is off the charts and the prices seem very reasonable. Pleasantly surprised that they also carried my favorite non-alcohol drink: A Robert Parrish! Otherwise known as Heineken 00 for you Celtic fans! I'll def have to go back soon but not without some of my Mexican connoisseurs! Hope to see you soon! Tell the friendly fellow behind the bar that El Marco (Big Papa Gillis) sent you!

I am an avid goer to this place and I know the staffing has not always been easy. They really did their best with what they had and the resources. This place was Packed! and well deserved.

They started us off right with complimentary warm tortilla chips and really flavorful salsa that had everyone at the table reaching for more. I ordered a cup of Louisiana gumbo to start, and it was rich, spicy, and delicious. For my main, the blackened chicken with rice and beans was spot-on: generous portion, perfectly seasoned, and super tasty. Our table also shared a half-size chicken fajita (solid and sizzling) and chicken enchiladas (good overall, though a touch salty). Our waitress was attentive and proactive, keeping refills coming and checking that we had everything we needed without missing a beat. If I'm ever back in Burlington, this is definitely a spot I'd hit again. Great value, big flavors, and handles crowds like a champ.
