Fantastic specials that change somewhat daily.
David T.

Ordered a chicken burrito with guacamole from El Guanaco. Friendly young lady took my order and cashed me out. Very good burrito. Plenty of meat and had great flavor. Will definitely return.

Potato Tacos with Lettuce and Tomato; Extra cheese Side of rice and refried beans

Food WAS PHENOMENAL!!! Exactly what I'd been craving/looking for, I'm from SoCal so I was ON THE HUNT for comparable Mexican food and this was it felt like I was right back at home! The service was a lot more attentive than I was expecting too! Great place and great vibes!

birria tacos

chips with salsa & guac were maybe the best i've ever had. birria tacos were also very good! the rice and beans sides are decent but nothing crazy.

Appetizer menu

Nice family owned restaurant and very authentic Salvadoran - Mexican food. Everything is fresh made nice local spot if you're craving something from South of the border!

Stopped in with a couple friends for some drinks and grub. My friends tried the shrimp tacos and steak quesadillas and both said they were awesome! We all enjoyed the Margaritas and food. All the workers were super friendly. I will be back for sure to try more of their menu!

House margarita $4!!!!!! Sooo good!!!!
Naima M.

There was no customers when I walked in but man. I just have to say the house margarita was the best I ever had!!! I also ordered steak tacos and they were simple. But delicious probably the best I've had in a long time. There street tacos stlye and they were quick!! Again I know I i was the oo lay one but it wasfresh and really good. I will tell many people about this Place and come more it's like a hidden jem. Thanks to the cook and server! Also. I have to say I did down two margaritas pretty wwuivk and the server waited a few minutes before givinggmE my check which I really appreciated because I did get a tad tipsy so they know how good there drinks are if you know what I mean. And I just really enjoyed it.

Pork burrito
J F.

Friendly but not especially attentive. Generous portions. Moderately tasty. Ordered pork burrito expecting carnitas, but got small cubes of cooked meat. Oh well. We've tried it, and will try another next time.

Chicken burrito and Mandarin Jarritos. Excellent!

This food truck does really deserve a good place where you can seat and enjoy their food. After…read morespending half a day in Big E, We decided to go eat some Mexican food in the area. Last time I was in Springfield, MA I had the best birria tacos, unfortunately I couldn't find the name of the restaurant where I had those tacos but I found this food truck with some good reviews and I have to try it. This food truck did not disappoint me. I got some birria tacos and some regular tacos. The service was Fast and very good. The food was amazing. The birria tacos portions were great and the flavor was super tasty. Definitely this is a gem in the city of Springfield.

First of all the customer service is wonderful, I called ahead because I found this place on Yelp…read morewhile driving nearby on a road trip and since they were going to close soon they offered to take the order over the phone and hold it for us until we get there and were willing to stay late and wait! All of the food was hot and delicious my family really enjoyed it. We asked for extra hot sauce and he gave us plenty which was so appreciated! I wish I got a picture of the churros there were several pieces and hot and crispy absolutely delicious! The chicken quesadilla from here is by far the best I have ever tried! The quality of the cheese and seasoning on the meat with onions and cilantro was so delicious! And they give a roasted pepper that is actually SPICY which was exactly what I was looking for! This is absolutely my favorite taco truck in Massachusetts and I would definitely travel to Springfield for it, gladly! Highly recommend.

After the big St. Patrick's Day Race, we stopped in after Yelp suggested this was both on our way home AND a better bet than the food trucks. We were surprised that parking was a breeze, with multiple entrances. The seating os designed to fit couples or larger groups comfortably, and you can tell the local love to sit around the long bar and chat. We loved our booth! The staff was quick, knew a lot about the different food options, and cocktail selection and beer selection was great. We chose a different cocktail from the list, and shared a bunch of appetizers. The sprouts were good, and the wings were tasty. I think the only thing that got a "nah" was the crab cake. I definitely have it on my list to go back for a meal, noting several dinner specials that met my creative palette.

After a trip to the mall, we decided to stop by this restaurant. We parked on the one-way street…read moreout front, but there's also parking behind the restaurant, which might be a bit safer. Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated in the bar area, which features a long bar and high-top tables. They have a solid selection of beer and alcohol. We started with the chili, topped with cheese and served with chips for dipping--it was delicious. My wife ordered the turkey club, while I opted for the tomato bisque with a grilled cheese sandwich. She enjoyed her club, and I loved my grilled cheese; it was very cheesy and made with Texas toast. However, I found the bisque a bit too thick for my taste. The servers were friendly, and we'll definitely return. I learned that they have separate lunch and dinner menus--unfortunately, I didn't realize I was looking at the dinner menu when I saw the steak, which isn't available during lunch.
