There were 4 of us that visited the new family run North Burnaby location. The owners felt they…read moreneeded a larger location to accomodate their guests. Apparently its more than twice the floor space as their current location in Port Moody. They plan to open up a patio in the back of their location soon. As for their authentic Mexican food and service we would rate this place 10/10, only because it was a week day night and they've only been open 1 week in. They officially launch this August 28 with 1 free new flavored margarita with your meal. The bright decor and ambience was warm and inviting. It won't be long before this new location is shared with everyone. If you crave authentic Mexican food, this restaurant will meet or exceed your expectations.

Super tasty Mexican place N of Central Park on Kingsway. Still remember when this place used to be…read moreGreek (Minoas). Parking is available in the lot behind the building, as well on the side streets. The venue looks like it used to be someone's house. There's even what looks like a living room downstairs. Definitely a strange layout. Not sure what goes on there, but the regular dining room seems to be upstairs. There is a nice large S facing patio and large bar area. The place is brightly coloured, with yellow and orange walls. Staff are friendly. No complaints. I had the alambra carnivoro. This thing is pretty epic. Basically a pile of fajita fillings (meat, peppers, onions, peppers, cheese, and more meat bits) in a pile, served with soft tortillas and a pile of sides (rice, refried beans, salsa,and guacamole). I just sat and stared at the big beautiful dish. Maybe I was super hungry, but it was very delicious. I left satisfied and happy. Definitely worth checking out if one needs a Mexican fix in the area. Recommended.

Came here during the "Bite of Burnaby" promotion. 3 course meal for $35. Good pricing and value. I…read moregot this instead of the Taco Tuesdays special - 3 tacos for $12 - because the BoB menu had enchiladas for the main. I love enchilada and that's always my go to order. For the starter I ordered the Esquites. It was nice but too liquidy after a while. The chicken enchilada with red sauce was ok. The refried beans and rice were not the best I had and that was usually my favorite part. The dessert was Passionfruit cheesecake. Initially they said it was out of stock and would replace with tres leches cake (yay my fave). But they somehow managed to find the Passionfruit cheesecake and served that. It was not good at all. It didn't taste like cheesecake. Good thing that's usually not on the menu. R had the tacos instead. I tried some of that. He got the Birria, asada and pastor. Of those, I prefer the pastor. Very tender and flavorful. The horchata was pretty good but at $7, I thought that was a bit on the high side. We may come back for taco Tuesday ($4 each with min 3 purchased) or burrito Wednesday ($14) in future. I'm glad this place is being used again after the Greek restaurant closed when the owners retired. The layout is still the same. It can get really loud at any of the tables by the speakers. The music kinda drowns out any conversation. Parking is available behind. Walking distance to both Patterson and Joyce skytrain stations. Or there's the bus stop nearby.

It was a bit messy to eat but I liked the consommé so much, I could drink it. Taco Tuesday: pollo (roasted chicken) and carnitas (pork) is $3/taco instead of $3.75. I liked the amount of meat that they put on each taco. Carnitas tacos was my favourite, the pork was so juicy.

Went to Sabrosito the other day as I'd seen reviews for their birria tacos. I've been craving these…read moretacos for a while so a friend and I went to check them out. I got an order of two tacos ($15) and my friend got three ($21), and we shared an order of chips with guacamole and salsa. The tacos were delicious, with lots of meat and they were served fresh and piping hot. The consomme was decent but for me lacked a bit of flavour compared to what I've had in the past. The chips were very tasty and both the salsa and guacamole were fresh with bright flavours. At $12, the portion of chips was tiny so I would not order this again. Service was very friendly but minimal - in the sense that you order at the counter and they bring to your table, then clear up when you finish. The restaurant is quite small with 4 tables that can seat 4 people each, but they're not too close together which is nice. I'll definitely return to try some other dishes.

We arrived around 7:45pm on a Saturday night and it was busy with a FIFA game on the TV. The staff were friendly and we got a table after they cleaned one for us. Really cute authentic Mexican joint run by friendly hard working Mexicans. Each table gets served complimentary chips with salsa, which was amazing. I asked how much to get an extra side of salsa and the waiter told me they don't sell it but for me, he'll get me another free side of salsa. My boyfriend ordered two soft tacos and I got the chicken enchiladas with green salsa plus a lingua (beef tongue) soft taco as I needed leftovers for lunch the next day. We also asked for waters and a grapefruit soda. The food arrived pretty quickly and I really enjoyed the rice, refried beans, and the chicken enchiladas. A lot of Mexican joints have dry chicken but the chicken here is juicy and flavourful. The beef lingua taco was okay - not outstanding but not bad. Their hot salsa and creama sauce were outstanding though - we asked for extra to take home with my enchiladas leftovers. One of the servers forgot our water, soda, and extra salsa but we managed to get it after awhile. He was extremely apologetic but no biggie. Great friendly service with solid food - this might be one of my favourite new spots in Surrey.

It was completely empty at 6pm on a Friday. We entered and no one greeted us. Ever. We sat ourselves until someone sauntered out. The older man who appears to be running the place is a character. I truly felt like I had walked onto the set of a play. This man either doesn't care in any way about the success of the business or his customers // or truly doesn't understand what his role is. He refused to give us what we ordered multiple times. If we wanted beef he would say No, it's not good. He wouldn't serve us chips saying our kid will choke. He wouldn't give us a dish we ordered telling us it's too much food. Simply talking to him was quite a challenge and caused tension. We gave up and just ordered anything. Side note - it's a no alcohol establishment. No license. When we asked if they had beer he mocked us - "Ohhh you NEED alcohol?" There's no other way to put it, the food is below mediocre. It's bad. It's flavourless, small, basically a bunch of mush. It's pretty clear things are premade and just heated or microwaved as enchiladas came out in about five minutes. Overall, the place was quite dirty. Sticky floors. And down right rude and uncomfortable. Such a disappointment. They need to get a proper server in place to elevate the experience and invest $$ in lot proper food. At the very least, clean the floors and remember - the customer is always right. At least let them order what they want.
