Tacos Puro Jalisco really gave me a little taste of Jalisco. The place is beautiful and welcoming,…read morewith gorgeous Mexican murals that give it such an authentic feel. Sitting there honestly reminded me of being around my grandmother and my tías, listening to them sing in the kitchen while they cooked. It brought back some beautiful memories. Now the birria de chivo... soooo delicious! You could taste all the different spices, and I could even taste a hint of chocolate in the birria that gave it such a rich, deep flavor. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Estaba deliciosa! And the menudo was just as good! As soon as it came to the table, it looked and smelled delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful with that homemade taste that makes you keep going back for another spoonful. The look, the smell, and especially the taste were on point! We were a party of four and my kids loved it too, which is always a plus for me! I even took a little video because I wanted to capture the food and the beautiful atmosphere. The prices were very affordable, especially for the quality and amount of food we received. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, and what a great host! He came over to our table to ask how our food tasted and personally thanked us for coming in. That little gesture made us feel welcomed and appreciated. Beautiful atmosphere, authentic flavors, affordable prices, great hospitality, and food that makes you feel a little closer to home. We will definitely be back! ¡Y ARRIBA JALISCO!

BOOOOMMMMBBB!!! This…read moreis the type of Mexican spot that is really "for us, by us" - not for tourists if you catch my vibe and I say this because the food does not hold back on flavor AND spice!! I really enjoyed my torta and I can't wait to go back and try other menu items. I went on a Sunday & it was packed, line out the door with beautiful brown families - I knew I was in for a treat! I also enjoyed the Yucatán peninsula feel in the decor. Come visit as soon as possible :-)

This restaurant was one of my favorites.. I live across the street from here, and the best Mexican…read morerestaurant I have ever had. I'm just sad they close their doors. About a week and a half ago I was craving an Alvarado burrito, and then I was waiting like around 11:30 am and they still were Not open and I was like so curious... I'm like what the heck is going on, so I left and then the next day I went back and the guy from the gas station next door told me that they close their doors. I'm speechless, they were such a good restaurant and everybody was very respectful and really nice so I don't understand what happened I'm just sad that they not there no more they were such a good restaurant.

Yes it's right next door to a gas station, Okay it's…read moretechnically attached! GO INSIDE ANYWAYS!! ;)) Lovely decor, great service and the cutest bar (full bar) area when you walk inside. Food was delicious and they have a perfectly balanced kids menu. My husband ordered the shrimp and asada burrito with mushrooms and he was stuffed and said it was awesome. I ordered the cheese enchiladas as it was the weekend (only served sat and sun) and they were so good. The red enchilada sauce is legit and delicious tastes homemade. The Kids got the nuggets and bean and cheese burritos and everyone loved their food. Mom loved the special spicy cucumber margarita they had it was PERFECTION and I'd return for that alone. lol Go give them a try right now and ENJOY! Note* Allot of gringos eating here but the food is still authentic and has flavor and salsas are spicy.

This was a great place to have dinner and drinks on a Friday night. They have plenty of seating…read moreinside and outside. We sat outside to enjoy the evening breeze. Our food arrived pretty quickly after ordering. The staff was friendly and continued to check in on us. I had the spicy cucumber margarita (sooo refreshing!) with a Baja fish taco and a spicy Baja shrimp taco. Both tacos were really good, but the spicy baja shrimp taco was my favorite. We also ordered the fresh chicharrones. The chicharrones were hot and still crackling when they arrived at the table. I especially loved the green aioli salsa that came with the chicharrones. Overall, this is a good place to enjoy some fish/shrimp tacos and margs.

We were walking around the Shoppes and came across Urban Fish Taco which we didn't remember seeing…read morethe last time we were here a few months ago. Decided to give it a try for Sunday dinner! Order at the counter, grab your number and find a table, then wait for your food to be brought out. Our food arrived within 5-10 minutes. We tried the two-taco plate ($13.99) with one fried fish taco and one surf + turf taco. The combo also comes with rice, beans, and a fountain drink with Stubborn soda as an option. Overall, the food was good! Just be prepared for the tacos to get a little messy to eat. Service was excellent. The gentleman taking our order was patient while we took our time deciding what to get. And in a small but thoughtful moment, one of the employees was walking past our table on his way to take a break just as my toddler dropped a fork. He stopped to pick it up and brought us a clean one. It was such a nice gesture and a great example of attentive service. Glad we decided to give this place a try. We appreciated both the food and the friendly service!
