Chips and salsa
Carolyn S.

Yum! This hole in the wall will have you coming back and wanting to gate keep the spot! I'm not going to attempt to spell what I ordered because I definitely would spell it wrong HOWEVER their barbacoa and their pollo asada and carne asada are cooked perfectly. Not overcooked and dry which can be tricky with Barbacoa. Here, they steam the barbacoa which creates this amazing moist flavorful meat that just melts in your mouth. Service was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us the background on the restaurant. This place opened just a few weeks prior to Covid and managed to keep it going. During the down time they took the opportunity to revitalize the dining area, and the menu! Went from prepackaged and frozen items to fresh hand made quality dishes (so glad I can after the revitalization!) Chips and salsas are on point and I love anywhere that serves a bean salsa with a verde salsa - especially when they're amazing! 10/10 will be back (matter of fact I've already been back )

I came here to try the birria ramen and it was delicious! The server was happy to tell us about their most popular dishes for next time (and there will be a next time). The chips were served with salsa and a bean dip. The bean dip left us wanting more. The birria ramen did not disappoint. It was quite the serving and the garnishes gave it so much flavor. The spicy salsa enhanced all the flavors. The server told us it would do so, and he was right. It's a small place with tv's. They play music which I enjoyed very much. They do not serve alcohol. Parking is easy in the lot. Although it's a small restaurant, I noticed a lot of takeout, which is always a good sign.

Very authentic! Got an order to go easy to order friendly service. Very small restaurant with modern renovations interior, but no windows. Probably be cozy for winter, but hot for summer to dine inside. Price is reasonable for this area, but not cheap. Based on the quality of the food it's worth it.

Fish and prawn fajitas that my wife loved!

How would I sum up the taste of the food, the variety of dishes that are offered, the service and the friendliness of the owner in one word? A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. We've only eaten there twice (I had a carne asada burrito, my wife had some chicken soup and my bro-in-law had a bowl of birria the first time we were there) but today my wife had the prawns and fish fajitas while I had a barbacoa beef chimichanga. Our first trip there was excellent. Today it was nothing short of AMAZING. That is THE best chimichanga that I have EVER had in my life (and I've eaten a lot of them). The barbacoa was NOT too salty like it can be in some places. And the fact that they covered it with house-made queso and a lovely red sauce of some kind made it even better! My wife said that she would definitely eat the fish and prawn fajitas again! I can't wait to show the place to my sister. She'll love it just like my wife, bro-in-law and I do! Don't be put off by the outside appearance. The place is clean inside and Ruben (I'm not sure if it is spelled like that or Reuben) is a very engaging individual who is a joy to talk with!

Better Oaxaca restaurant hosts a cool and clean eatery. I found my way here with a Yelp map.

Best fish tacos I've ever had. Perfect! Not deep fried but cooked in a pan. The fresh tilapia came generously covered in herbs and spices. I don't know how the cook did it, but he or she used so little oil with the fish, that I did not see nor taste cooking oil. My server, a smiling lovely woman, suggested I might try their Aguas Frescas. They make a fresh watermelon drink with just a tad of sugar. She gave me wonderful table service, too. The chips were served with a warm bean dip and a green salsa, both quite delightful . The restaurant section is super clean and looks quite new. Also above the bar and the restaurant area they have some various fans going which move air quite nicely. I feel so comfortable having lunch here.

Craving tacos in a different city, 1st things 1st open yelp. I did a search and this place came up and looked really good. We pulled up and it's easy to find and parking right in front. Very modern inside, clean. The chips and salsa were different, and in such a good way. They give green salsa and a black bean warm dip. That was so good! 5 stars just for that dip & salsa. Between the two of us we got 4 regular tacos: 2 steak, 1 pastor & 1 carnitas and a can soda each and that was $23.98- I'd say that was a fantastic price for the food taste & quality.. and we're full. We're in this area a lot but have never stopped into this city/town and for sure will start coming by and trying more items. I believe they have homemade tortillas which is another added plus.

Tlayuda doble.

Literally thee best my favorite Mexican food currently! And honestly the nice restaurant was good,…read morefood was 5 stars, but the customer service of the person at the front the morning I picked up my order, was 100 stars! They were welcoming, polite, attentive, classy and just all around awesome. Def going back

Went to dinner tonight at Mi Ranchito . Its a Thursday evening and not busy. Eating outside on the…read morepatio. The patio was very nice. The food however was not so good. My favorite food is refried beans. When I ordered my meal I asked that the beans be hot. My boyfriend also asked for bean hot. When our meals were brought out the food was not hot. The beans were barely warm. The waitress came out and I reminded her I requested the beans be hot.I told her the beans were just warm. My boyfriend ordered extra corn tortillas that never were delivered. So the waitress did bring out in a new order of beans. Apparently the beans were heated on hight in the microwave. They were way over cooked and had a crust on them. My boyfriend asked for a small cup of water no ice for taking his medication. He got a large cup of water full of ice. I had just had lunch here a few days ago and the food and service were fine fine The 2 people sitting next to us said the food here was not what it used to be .I heard the woman tell the man that they wont be coming back . I think I will second that. We wont be back .

Mi Ranchito - The bar area - a host of great tequillas. It's usually easy to just drop in and get a spot at the bar - even when the restaurant is full.
