I ordered the carne asada burrito and asked for the burrito sauce on the side. The burritos were huge and definitely felt worth the $20 in terms of size. My main complaint was that there was barely any carne asada, and I wasn't a big fan of the burrito sauce. I actually preferred eating it with the salsa instead. The rice had a subtle flavor, which was decent, but overall the burrito was lacking that carne asada flavor I was expecting. For a $20 burrito, I expected more carne asada and a stronger overall flavor.

Don't think I have had tastier Mexican food...like...EVER…read more Was a nice beach day nearby and son was craving tacos, so co-pilot suggested we go here with family for an early din-din. It's not fancy, just another hole-in-the-wall family run kinda place, and if you don't like open/exposed foods all over the kitchen and in the back, move on gringo. (Saw this as I was going to wash hands after my meal.) Place is narrow but long, about 40 seat capacity, couple outside tables but no ambiance in case you are looking for one. They serve you chips and salsa but charge 2 bucks without telling you, saw later on the bill (great chips and homemade salsa was terrific). So that and the not-so sanitary kitchen and back area so to speak, is their only faults. But their food is borderline divine. Son ordered asada tostada...it's loaded with meat and toppings, very fresh crispy tostada easy A+. Great tasty diced carne asada very easy to chew. Wife had crispy tacos dorados with shredded beef, another hit very flavorful (A-) I opted for 3 separate tacos orders: A soft grilled shrimp (A+++) one of the best tasting shrimp I've ever had ANYWHERE. Clearly NOT farm-raised plastic tasting junk, so succulent and delish. 5 pieces in a taco; good size only 5 bucks is a steal. One aforementioned crispy shredded beef taco, also solid (A-) Al pastor soft taco (A) was sensationally delish, even though would love a live al pastor carving, not very reasonable at a place like this, but was Muy Bien. The side rice is bland, beans nothing special. All this for $58 bux including tip; brought own drinks because I love me some Poppi, sick of cancerous cokes and sprites. So in a nutshell, great, heavenly mex food minus petty chips and salsa charge, and all local Mexicans eat here, so that says something. 100% will return. Menu has a huge selection. A place as authentic as this should serve something significantly better on tables than bullshit crap hack-hot sauce Tapatio basura.

Our group of friends recently dined here, and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing…read more First, we were surprised to find that we were charged for the chips and salsa without being told there was a charge. It was only a dollar on each (5 ) of our bills but they should have told us. Many Mexican restaurants provide them as a complimentary appetizer, so it would have been nice if the server had let us know beforehand. The biggest issue, however, was the service. One person in our party never received his meal. We had to ask about it, and we were simply told, "It's coming," with no explanation or apology. We ended up waiting so we could all eat together, so my soup was cold and I ended up not eating it and had to take it home. When the bill came, I asked what had happened. I was hoping the server would apologize or at least explain the delay. Instead, she didn't really answer my question. Only after I commented that they must have forgotten it, server said his meal had burned and the kitchen had to remake it. It would have been much better if she had communicated that to us from the beginning instead of leaving us wondering what was going on. Throughout the meal, the server rarely checked on our table to see if we needed anything or if everything was okay. Given the long delay and lack of communication, I also think it would have been a nice gesture to either comp the delayed meal or at least remove the charge for the chips and salsa. And normally we would tip less but she added the tip to the bill Unfortunately, what should have been an enjoyable dinner with friends turned into a frustrating experience because of the lack of communication and customer service.

(That I'm not upset about, of course its gonna have a dinner rush.) My family and I all placed our orders only for our server to come out after a 25 minute wait to tell us that they were out of chicken flautas which we placed one order of. So how do you run out of that? They said they, "had no more chicken flautas." That says to me that the food is premade and they heat it up later. if they said, "we ran out of ingredients" I would still be disappointed but it would make more sense and support the idea the food is made fresh. Either way, this is a restaurant that they know is going to be packed. So premade or not, how do you run out of the item I ordered? The server insisted on steak which my family member didn't want nor like, (they burn the steak.) So first you miscalculate and now you make an excuse? I decided to get up to talk to the manager myself because the waiter took no action to solve the issue and refused to leave the table to get the manager. He came visibly frustrated but controlled himself offered the food to-go and we could leave without paying, but what about my family? We should all be able to eat together. Basically they were unprepared, prideful, and insisted we leave to solve a problem that never should have existed in the first place.

I've eaten here twice with family, and we enjoyed everything we've ordered thus far. FOOD: Complimentary Chips and Salsa: The chips were good the first time, but we received an old batch the second time we ate here. Their salsa was great both times, though. Horchata: 8 Regiones Comida Oaxaquena serves the best Horchata I have ever had!! The consistency and thickness is perfect, as is the flavor and sweetness. SO GOOD! Chile Verde: Good, but not the best I've had. The sauce was light and had a good acidity to it, while the pork was tender. More pork would've been great as the chunks I received were pretty small. Tlayuda 3 Carnes (Tasajo, Cecina, and Chorizo): Love it! The base is covered with delicious mole and refried beans, and is then topped with a generous amount of Oaxacan string cheese, cabbage, sliced avocado, sliced tomatoes, cilantro, and of course--meat! All 3 meats were delicious, but the chorizo was my favorite; it was bursting with flavor! I felt I was wrong for eating an entire Tlayuda by myself, especially after seeing a family of 4 share the same thing amongst themselves, but I really enjoyed it! 3 Al Pastor Tacos: The al pastor was okay, but not their marinade didn't appeal to us. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't something we'd order again either. However, we all agree the tortillas here are fantastic. Chile Colorado: Good! It's hard to turn down a full plate of tender pork ribs braised in a flavorful red sauce. Like the other combo, the Chile Colorado is served with rice, beans, and tortillas. We enjoyed this more than the Chile Verde. Pozole: Nice to see they serve Pozole Verde! You get a huge bowl with a generous serving of hominy, vegetables, and shredded chicken in a scratch-made chicken broth with good flavor. Combo Cabeza: Dee-lish-us! The cabeza was tender, plentiful, and certainly flavorful. Each combo plate comes with refried beans, rice, tortillas, and pickled jalapenos. This combo will fill you up for sure; I'd order it again. Chapulines Tacos: FINALLY! I've never had Chapulines before, so I couldn't pass on the opportunity. They were crispy and seasoned well, while the guacamole they were on was fresh and flavorful. Again, the homemade tortillas are amazing. Although our knowledge of Spanish is minimal, we were able to order everything we wanted.
