It's BYO but they have many non-alcoholic options. My cousin ordered sopes which I've never had before. They are light dough filled with beans, shredded chicken, guacamole and veggies. Yum! She also got a vegetable taco bowl. It was huge and filled to the brim with delicious veggies. Her daughter birria tacos. They were double tacos and the meat was seasoned perfectly. I filled up on the amazing pico and other sauces with the freshly made chips and guacamole. I ended up taking most of my food home. Mini Shredded chicken bites and beef flautas.

We were celebrating Chester 250 Day in town and it was HOT. We decided to pop into Fresco Mexican…read moreeven though were weren't really hungry. The restaurant is really cute and decorated really colorfully. It feels like a lot of the restaurant it hand-painted! We got a seat immediately and were served chips with three different salsas. The waiter was so patient and explained each salsa to us. I loved trying each flavor. I ordered the gazpacho, and tried a bit of my husband's beef tacos. The gazpacho was DELICIOUS and exactly what I needed on that hot summer day. It was so refreshing and bursting with flavor. I felt bad just ordering soup but the staff was super polite about it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband's tacos came with lots of toppings, which come on the side, so you are kind of left to assemble your own taco. I feel like they should add the toppings in the kitchen, then the presentation would be much better! Nevertheless the tacos were so delicious, and the beef was perfectly tender. Overall this was a great stop!

They were perfectly layered with cheese and toppings so that every chip had the perfect bite. The doblada was filled with chicken tinga, pico, and cheese - each bite was delicious. Everything was fresh and tasty, but the price was a little high for the items. If prices were a little lower I would come more frequently

I am not one for dramatics, but I love good food, and this burrito was remarkably good. A friendly waitress greeted me as soon as I walked into this small restaurant, and served me a cup of really good coffee -- really good: strong without being overpowering, and the second cup was as good as the first. The vibe in El Parche is vibrant. I enjoyed sitting in the sunshine pouring in through the front window and eating at my leisure. There was plenty bacon in my burrito, but not too much. Clearly the cook knows how to cook well. I took a few empanadas home with me, and I will definitely return. I highly recommend El Parche.

I visited Sofia's for a girls night…read more We started off with two frozen margaritas which were great. They offered us complimentary salsa and chips. The salsa was alright, it was pretty chunky compared to traditional taquerias. For our main dishes we had the blackened chicken burrito and the birria tacos. The burrito was ok, the rice in the burrito was pretty bland and needed more seasoning. The birria tacos were great. I would strongly recommend those. Surprisingly the service was the part that stood out the most, it felt like we were being rushed to order, rushed to finish our drinks, and rushed to finish our food. The restaurant had many open tables so it wasn't a busy night. I was disappointed that they didn't bring the side sauces out by default as I noticed many of the tables had them except for ours.

The seared tuna, and the wedge salad with chicken excellent. I had a passion fruit margarita, and it was SO yummy! The restaurant is small but cozy, with a really great vibe. I especially loved the music, it was such a nice touch and really added to the atmosphere. Prices are around $20-$35 per person, depending on what you order. Definitely recommend giving Norte 175 a try! Great food, great drinks, great music, and a great overall vibe.

When we arrived, the vibe was great and the decor was very nice and very quaint and accentuated the history of the building quite well. We were seated immediately and the waitress came over right away and took our drink orders. After about 10 minutes, she came back to take our orders and informed us that the bar was behind because there was a private party and one of the bartenders called out sick. We were bummed but also understood. I usually like to have a drink before dinner, then a glass of wine with dinner. Waiting for the pre dinner drink that arrived just before dinner was not great, but issues happen and I didn't want to judge this beautiful place based on that. We got the street corn appetizer, and it was absolutely amazing!! It was suggested by the waitress and she nailed it. We all loved it. Then the entrees came out. I ordered the grilled skirt steak and it was a bit tough and didn't truly have a lot of flavor. Being one of the signature items on the menu and one of priciest items, I think I expected more flavor. I don't want to give it a bad review, because I always believe in giving good places a few opportunities, but overall I was not disappointed but I was also not impressed. We will go back and give it another try and hoping for a better experience overall.

I went with their Enchiladas con Salsa Verde and my girlfriend went with their Al Pastor Tacos. I also got their Horchata which is a must! Silence immediately struck when the plates arrived--after not even a 10-15 minute wait, we immediately jumped in and were taken aback by the flavor richness every bite had. Food was nothing but exceptional just as was the service. I unfortunately did not catch our server's name but the sweetest lady you'll have the privilege of ever meeting. Had a smile on her face the entire time which gave an even greater experience. I would highly recommend checking this place during your next trip out to the area and telling all your loved ones about it!! ¡Gracias por todo y hasta la próxima ves!

The music was a little loud, but honestly, it just made me feel like my fajitas were headlining a concert. Our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed and missed a couple things here and there, but the food came through in the clutch. We started with the garlic butter shrimp appetizer. Flavor was great, although the shrimp themselves must've skipped leg day because they were smaller than expected. My girlfriend ordered the cheese quesadilla -- simple order, but it came out looking like it belonged in a food photoshoot. I got the combo fajitas, which came with enough rice and beans to feed a small village. I would've liked a little more steak and shrimp in the mix, but the flavor was really good. Only other minor complaint: the outdoor chairs could definitely use cushions. About halfway through dinner I started shifting around like I was doing yoga poses. Overall though, really enjoyed the experience and we'll definitely be back.
