The guacamole was nice and thick and flavorful. 7/10 The shrimp and tilapia tacos were a bit of a miss for me though-- the tortillas got super soggy (I should've ordered flour, not corn ‍!) , but the taste was fine. 6/10 I also wish the passion fruit juice had been fresh!

The total was $110 before tax and tips - $140 post tax and tips. The party consensus was that the seafood quesadilla was out of this world. The fish was super tasty and the platter was extraordinary complementary. On the other hand, my favorite was the beef burrito. I loved everything about it. The party's second favorite was the beef tongue tacos. They noted that the beef tongue was super soft and delicious. The flavor within that dish was superb. My second favorite, once again deviating from the group, was the seafood enchilada. I love its combination of sour, spicy, and saltiness. The portions were amazing. The taste was great. And the service was spot on. 5/5 and we will return!

My new girlfriend at that time & I were on a semi-long hike nearby on a very hot early evening. We were hungry and near here arriving maybe close to 8 PM. I enjoyed my usual choice a sit-down Mexican restaurant, enchiladas. This is better than Uncle Julio's (& less expensive), Guapo's, or others. Great enchiladas, beans, & rice. Service was good too. In addition to the usual entree, beans, & rice, you also get this delicious sweet corn-based treat, which adds to the great experience here.

You order at a counter and are given a number to display at your table. Our food took only a few minutes to arrive. The server also brought over a box holding three salsas in squeeze bottles. The green salsa was pretty mild and the orange one was super hot. The dark one was, I think, chipotle. I didn't care for the chipotle. The tacos looked great and were each pretty packed with ingredients. Pollo tacos - I thought the chicken was a bit dry and, because of that, disappointing. Veggie - The veggie were filled with cooked onion, mushroom and peppers. Although they were well prepared and held a lot of veggies, there was no seasoning, so the taste was pretty flat/boring. I had to rely on adding guac and some salsa for flavor. I was hoping the veggie would have some flavor without having to rely on sauces. Al Pastor - was very good. Guacamole - comes "market price". The side we got was $3, which I think was a good value. The guac was flavorful and was a nice portion. I am glad I had it to supplement the disappointing Veggie taco and the dryness of the Pollo. The corn tortillas were good. The place is nice and comfortable.

Their ingredients are fresh, quantities are great, and service is pretty good--given that it's not the most upscale setting. I would've given it 5 stars but they accidentally dropped meat on some of my vegetarian bowls prior (however they've always reimbursed us for mistakes, which is great customer service). The ladies working in the back work very hard and their labor of love does shine in the food. This place actually rivals SoCal mexican food. If you're in the area, skip Chipotle and come here to try their burritos, tortas, nachos, bowls and horchata, and tres leches. Also if you're brave check out their spicy red sauce! It's literally one of the best hidden food gems of Moco.

They have a nice private back room for private events or their comedy shows. The main restaurant has a nice bar area and TV's for football or whatever sport. I always got the same thing, the enchiladas. Food is solid. Prices are reasonable here, which was a nice change in the 2020's. What I realized in 2024 was the enchiladas and plates are kind of on the smaller side. When I think of sit-down Mexican restaurants, I think of hearty meals, but this wasn't so hearty. I was hungry several hours later that night in 2024. In January 2025, I was here for a friend's birthday party and remembered that the portions are smaller than typical Mexican restaurants, so I added a bean pupusa to my enchilada plate, which was excellent, even better than the enchiladas, which are solid. It was a little chaotic with the number of people there, and the awkward table setup. It would've been better having that backroom, but there was a comedy show or something happening that night in there, so we made do with the long high tables put together in the middle of the restaurant. Service has always been good here overall in terms of friendliness, but a couple of times when things ran a bit slow. Also, beer pitchers were cheap too. I remember the couple of events where people split including at the January 2025, my friend's brother & his wife split beer with me. Overall, it's a good local business in the area. In spite of a few flaws, mostly good & would return again in the future.

The 1800 margarita. Ive gotta explain how to make a margarita. It's shaken, not stirred and salt the rim. I learned from last time. As soon as I day down I was ready to order. But no chips and salsa. Had to ask 3 times. No water. Had to ask twice. And honestly would've ordered dessert but the server never came around again. They still get 20% auto gratuity which is crazy. No way would I be tipping 20% for this service.

My son is pretty picky about the foods he eats. This is the first time I've seen him absolutely love a dish. The ribs were cooked perfectly. The meat was tender and juicy well seasoned with the side dish of rice avocado sour cream etc. The Lengua al vino was prob one of the best ways I had lengua. It was perfection with every bite. Excellent by far best place that's made it so far. It's nice to have fresh guacamole that was made versus guacamole that has been made in the morning and then it sits for a while and you could definitely taste the difference. This was fresh and it was really really good with the chips that came with it.. The calamari I'm a huge fan of this each time it's available on the menu. I tend to order out of all the reviews I've made. This has to be my second favorite location that makes it.. It is perfectly breaded, well balanced, and the sauces that came with it as an option.
