    Great service, Great food and Great Ambiance!!! Highly…read morerecommend. The staff does a fantastic job to ensure that your experience goes well.

    I love Mexican food and I'm 1/4 Mexican. This place has been around since 1976 so if I'm a bit…read moreharsh it's because they should know better. I checked Yelp but I neglected to sort by date. Some of the best reviews were many years ago. I ordered the chile verde burrito, wet, and my girlfriend ordered the fish taco Friday special. Chile verde has different sized pork chunks in a delicious green sauce but the meat was inconsistent in size with most pieces being rock hard, or fat/gristle. No pieces were tender. Chile verde should be tender. I can make better Chile verde in an Instant Pot with pork shoulder and a jar of Herdez green salsa. I trim my meat well though. No surprises. The fish tacos were attractive. They resembled fish sticks though. They had a bread crumb coating, were cooked earlier, and reheated before putting in the taco shell. Not beer batter fried aka Baja style. The taco shells were soft yellow corn tortillas with the texture of flour tortillas. These tortillas were really good! Avocado and fresh cilantro was a nice touch. No special fish taco sauce was used, but might improve the fish sticks. Rice was a solid hit for both of us. We make it like this at home with shrimp/tomato bouillon. The beans were ok. I ended up "returning" the inedible chile verde and they dutifully replaced it with a different burrito. The service was 5/5. The place itself is clean and neat and spacious. No complaints there.

    The salsas were actually tastier than the tacos…read more The service was friendly but slow. I was informed that the corn tortillas were made in house and would require additional time and cost if purchased. I figured it was worth the wait. It took about 25 minutes for my 3 tacos to be made. *Lengua: I was a bit concerned at first because it was early lunch and the staff were uncertain if they had any left. The lengua was chewy, tough, and bland. The saving grace was the side of habanero salsa that came on the side. The salsa was acidic, spicy and sweet. The meat definitely needed to be braised and marinaded longer. *Al Pastor: nice ratio of fat to meat. The fat was rendered properly and the marinade wasn't overly salty. This paired well with the homemade corn tortillas as it provided subtle sweetness. The tacos weren't the largest nor cheapest so this was very middle of the road. I would stick to the more "traditional" options as they were executed better. The corn tortillas were tasty so it was worth the upgrade if you don't mind waiting.

    The food here is good. The service was okay. But the one thing is that it is very very slow. Was…read morewaiting for about 30 minutes before the waiter let us know that the cook who cooks a certain food was not in yet. Mind you being there for 30 minutes is a long time before even letting us know about that. So we just paid our drinks and left, have not been there ever sense.
