for starters this place was very good and only 11.99 out the door for my lunch. Place has a pretty nice atmosphere, very clean, service was friendly and attentive and the food was really good. They need to put "Mexican restaurant" under their sign because I never knew and I live across the street.
Fantastic authentic Mexican food as this will be in our rounds as Tacos N Grill is not open Sundays. Tried a new dish at the recommendation of our very good server as I asked her for a very authentic dish--Quesabirria which was the stewed meat barbacoa w cheese and served w a tasty broth sauce to dip in as well as the usual onion, lime and cilantro on the side. The street tacos were a gem too. The back has a store and butcher as well as groceries for good Mexican food. The only slight miss was the guacamole as it was good but I think they added sour cream so not quite like table side taste.
We stopped in for dinner after hiking some at Roan Mountain. It's very festive inside. To the right is a little market. The restaurant is straight ahead and to the left. We were seated to the left against the windows that overlooks a nice green area. The hostesses were very nice. Our server, Joel, came right away and took our drink order, followed by a nice lady who brought chips and salsa. Our server asked if we were interested in some spicy sauces. We said yes and he brought two bottles. One was jalapeño based and he said the other was hard to describe but it was spicier. We tried both and really liked the jalapeño based. I ordered guacamole, which was a huge portion and had just the right amount of onions and diced tomatoes. We ordered carnitas, which came with tortillas (we ordered it with flour but you could get corn instead). It also came with roasted jalapeños and onions, refried beans and rice. It was a HUGE portion. I'm glad we split! Joel was a delight- so very nice and also attentive. The food was DELICIOUS! This will definitely be a place we return to!
Located back a bit from N. Roan, you can enter from the main large parking lot or a side street that opens into the lot. The lot is shared with another business, but there is plenty of parking near the restaurant. There is parking adjacent to the building with two handicapped spaces in front of the entrance with a large walkway to the door. The remaining parking is across a travel lane. Everything is paved so walking is easy. As you enter the foyer, the restaurant entrance is to the right. Once you enter the restaurant, the host station is in front. Seating is a mix of tables and booths. We were greeted as we came in and taken to a booth along the outside of the seating area. The window looked out onto a nicely landscaped area which added a nice touch to the ambiance. The previous restaurant occupying the building was a Chinese buffet, and the booths are definitely from the previous occupant, but everything seemed to be in good condition. In addition, the tables are not crammed together so it is easy to move about. Although we did not walk through, there is also a grocery area to the right as you enter the restaurant. The selection seemed pretty large with dry goods, fresh produce, and refrigerated/ frozen items. We received chips and salsa right before our server brought the menus and took our drink order. The chips were fine and the salsa had a slight chipotle taste. Overall, an above average start to the meal. We needed several minutes to work through the menu. While it had many typical items, there were several which are more unusual. The descriptions of each item in the menu as well as several pictures made deciding difficult. Once we ordered, our food took about 15 minutes to arrive. The carnitas was an excellent choice. The meat was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It fell apart with a fork. The rice is not typical Mexican restaurant rice. While not exotic, it was different enough to be noticeable and was quite good. The refried beans were typical. The carnitas also came with three tortillas, some sautéed onions and jalapeno peppers, and a nice salsa which had decent heat and great flavor. My dining partner had the pollo asado, several thin pieces of chicken breast cooked in a red sauce. The sauce is almost charred onto the meat. This was another excellent choice. The sauce added a wonderful flavor and the chicken remained moist and tender. Sides were tortillas, rice, and refried beans. Interestingly, they also offer a breakfast menu six days a week. Based on the menu over the grill area, it consists of expected items like breakfast burritos, but also the typical eggs and sausage. I expect I will be trying this part of their menu in the near future. If their breakfast is as good as the rest of the menu, there may not be a reason to ever leave.
Well, I love Mexican food, and this is above average. Everything made fresh. Huge portions that don't leave you wondering where all the toppings are! A little pricey.
I went on a Saturday it wasn't packed , going in the doorway it's just a beautiful little entrance and was very cleaned. I walked in and was happily greeted and seated immediately. I ordered the Vegetarian Quesadilla and my friend ordered steak tacos. Our food didn't take long to come out and it was good as in a good 6. It would've been nice to see Vegetarian options but it's only like 3 options. I noticed they had a grocery store as well on the inside which was a tad different from my pov but it wasn't bad ...I just don't have no opinion on it. But I do enjoy the Mexican snacks I was slightly tempted on buying a few. The waitress was very sweet, but I think she should learn to time herself checking on her tables because I almost felt rushed to eat, rushed to order and rushed to leave ( I'm a previous waitress and I always gave enough time in between) Will I go back ? .... No Only because their vegetarian options on the menu doesn't peak my interest for a return visit.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the authentic Mexican food, friendly and attentive service, festive and clean atmosphere, and generous portions.

This place was pretty good. The staff were friendly and seated us quickly. I ordered the nachos supreme and the wife got a few tacos, one beef and one chicken I believe. Both were tasty. My chicken nachos were a bit wet but very flavorful. I think I will try the beef next time. I saw those go to a different table and they looked a bit drier. Ambiance looked really cool, one of the nicest Mexican restaurants I've seen. Parking is plentiful and it looked like they have a full bar. read more

This place is amazing, if I lived closer I'd be here all the time and I'd be broke. Fortunately I live and hour away! Anytime I'm rolling through and needing my fix of amazing Mexican I drop in and order a costa chica burrito. Closest thing to so cal Mexican food. Born n raised California and spent lots of time in Tijuana and San Diego.. once you get out of the state the Mexican food falls apart drastically... this place has it right and knows what's up. read more
