    No plates, no tortillas after waiting 30 min for food.

    The Service was horrible, we waited 30 min for the meat to come, just so they could make us wait an extra 30 min for the tortillas and they still came in undercooked. They didn't serve us any plates and the waitress had a horrible attitude. Keep in mind we were the only customers being served at the time. I would not recommend this place at all, your money is better spent at a establishment that actually cares about your experience.

    Asada Quesadilla. Warm. Tasty. Soft.

    El Borrego de Oro offers good food and service. Its interior is very simple yet clean, organized and well lit; very typical Mexican restaurant. We came here on a Sunday brunch. I ordered Asada Quesadilla y cafe con leche. The quesadilla was warm, soft, and tasty. Coffee was surprisingly good. Prices are very affordable. Staff were competent and professional. Service was moderately fast. Overall, I had a good brunch experience.

    Lots of drinks to chose from.

    We when in on a Saturday morning, when they had just opened. 8:15 to be exact. They took a while for them to serve the food and I ordered quesadillas and my hubby ordered Menudo. They were ok, they lack flavor and I wouldn't order them again. My hubby's Menudo was ok as well. We had to take his Menudo home because they took long to serve his food and I ate mostly by myself, we had to ask for ice since it was too hot when it came in. I don't think I would come back, many other places to chose from. Gave them 3 stars because server was nice and attentive.

    What we had to sit next to after cleaning up our own table to eat

    ***reply to comment. I address my concerns to you about the service and all you can say is that you were busy. And if your going to insult someone calling them to faced you have to check your grammar it's "two" not "to"*** Dirty tables after people have left and when we asked where we can sit they said anywhere. Where where? All tables were dirty we had to clean our own tables. When we ordered our drinks and food at the same time. Our drinks seem to have gotten forgotten and brought after our food. Come on everyone was already served. The pansita was more chili than meat. We ordered regular coffee that seem watered down. Came on recommendation but will never return. Have caution

    pound of barbacoa sin hueso comes with handmade tortillas good enough for 2 people.

    Ordered the pound of barbacoa sin hueso comes with handmade tortillas good enough for 2 people. The barbacoa was really good. Server was nice gave us a complementary consome de borrego which was also very good!

    Barbacoa taco :)

    delicious place to come try out authentic Mexican food. The speciality of the house is the Barbacoa (lamb) wich is steamed and goes well with the consome. I've tried different plates everytime I go and all have been really good.

    Under Seasoned and dry.

    Food was good, but priced a bit high for standard Mexican fare. Specially with so many Mexican restaurants in the area.

    Barbacoa is delicious and very well cooked. Quesadillas are big and they have a great variety of fillings.

    I had my first meal at the enchanted indoor garden in Mami Felipa Cocina today…read more Food: The green chilaquiles did not disappoint. They were fresh, crunchy, with ample green tomatillo salsa that was flavorful, making for a very authentic bite. The beans were very good and complemented the chilaquiles perfectly. Authentic Mexican flavors showcased well. Service: The waitress was friendly, attentive, and joyfully answered my questions about the menu. I also asked about the traditional colorful head piece located behind glass next to the register and learned that it is a Chinelo, a traditional iconic carnival character from Morelos, Mexico. It is clear, the restaurant owners are proud of their heritage and are sharing it with everyone. Ambiance: The small but cozy restaurant features an incredibly vibrant, maximalist indoor garden vibe that immediately makes you feel like you are dining inside an enchanted greenhouse. Dense artificial greenery blankets the walls and ceiling. The cozy, casual neighborhood layout is packed with personality, featuring playful multicolored floral tablecloths, festive flags, and unique lived-in accents. It's an energetic setting for a lively meal.

    What a pleasant surprise. Meaning sometimes you read a lot of five star reviews and you leave…read moredisappointed. Had the Divorciad burrito for lunch and it was delicious. (See attached picture). This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

    We had dinner there yesterday. As soon as we walked in, we should've just turned back right around…read more It was a mess. It was dirty and we spent time swatting flies. We wanted to give the food a try because of the great reviews we read online. Those must be from friends and family because not only was it not good, but it was super expensive. I had a chile relleno burrito with Carne asada for $17. Most of it was rice and although I have no complaints about the Chile relleno, the meat was inedible. Most of it was fat. My husband had a chile relleno plate for $17. The chele relleno again was OK but the rice and beans were not good at all. My son had the burrito with chicken. Yes the burritos are huge but you're basically paying for rice and beans with a little bit of chicken for $17. The agua frescas were $7 each. They were OK but for seven dollars definitely overpriced. We wanted so much to like this place for the reviews, but do yourself a favor and don't spend your time or money.

    I'd say Exclusive Cocina Mexicana is kind of hit or miss…read more The first time I went, I ordered Mexican rice and waited about 25 minutes--but it actually turned out really good. The second time, I got tacos (which are a great price), but again the wait was around 25 minutes. They also forgot my agua fresca, and I had to follow up twice just to get a refund. I gave it another shot and ordered rice again, but this time it wasn't fully cooked, which was disappointing. Honestly, I keep going back because it's affordable and super close to home, but the customer service and food quality just aren't consistent. Hoping they can improve because the potential is definitely there.
