I guess I'll start from the beginning. Pros, we were seated quickly. The grilled tiger shrimp was…read moreamazing. Our queso was brought out almost immediately. Now to the cons which are unfortunately many more. As nice as our waitress was, she was either not listening or not attentive. I got a berry margarita which came with sugar (I was not aware) so I asked for it to be poured into another glass with salt. When she came back all she had done was put it in another glass with more sugar. My husband ended up having to go with a sweet tea and when he had to flag someone down to get a refill (who never came back) the waitress asked if he needed another. I explained that he had already asked someone for another sweet tea and I wasn't sure if he was getting it or not she went to get it. She then came back and asked was that sweet tea or unsweetened. We said again sweet. She came back and it was unsweetened. Then came my dinner. It came with onion and tomatos with the shrimp. The mushroom was good, but I have never before seen tomatoes and onions with the core. (See attached photos) It was truly an awful experience that we had to pay almost 60.00 for. Ambient TVs were on showing soccer.

He let me politely excuse myself back to my hotel across the street to clean up. When i got back, my southwestern egg rolls were waiting under a heat lamp, still crispy and perfect. Miguel even gave me a margarita on the house. Maybe he felt sorry for me, but a friendship was made at ECR that night.

What in the holy guacamole is this disaster? I've eaten here before, and while it never knocked my…read moresocks off, it was at least passable. But today's order? This was the final nail in the coffin. I'm done. Let's start with the so-called fish tacos. What showed up on my plate looked like it came straight from a frozen food aisle--breaded fish sticks, no seasoning, no freshness, no effort. Just thaw, fry, and hope nobody notices. Spoiler: I noticed. The guacamole? Shelf-stable sadness. It had that lifeless, pre-packaged taste you get from something sealed in plastic and designed to survive a nuclear winter. And those taco shells? Straight from a bag of the cheapest Mission shells money can buy. Honestly, I'd bet nothing on that plate was made fresh--just cans and boxed mixes dressed up as a meal. The only reason this review isn't a total scorched-earth zero is the service--they at least kept my drink filled. But someone should be warning customers not to order that train wreck of a dish. If I served this, I'd be embarrassed. July 2025

I find the produce and meat to be fairly priced but other items may be a little more expensive. The staff here are friendly for the most part. This is mainly a Hispanic grocery store; shoppers and staff are of Hispanic descent. I LOVE Mexican food so I come here for the jalapeño and poblano peppers. They also generally have beautiful tomatoes and limes for making pico de gallo. I do like the cheeses as well. You can purchase fresh cheese and bread here. I love the cultural, ethnic vibe this store offers! I completely recommend a visit or two!
