    The customer service is so bad, if you're not Hispanic they'll just look you up and down like you're an alien or something. Especially if you're not Hispanic they will even charge you extra, I asked for 2 PLASTIC forks and the woman was trying to charge me $1 for each one. Like the food doesn't even look that great tbh( the meat was a little too dry for my liking). There's way better restaurants further up Roosevelt that hire better staff because this place was just not giving

    Good tacos with nice friendly stuff! The service was excellent. I will come back again!

    The garnishes that came free with the taco

    Its so good to find a great and inexpensive taco place in my neighborhood! The best thing is that they are open until 2am, 7 days a week! That's even later than the Chinese takeout in the area. Tacos are $3.50 each. I ordered 2 times using the yelp link that goes to Grubhub. -Taco de Enchilada- This is my favorite taco. The pork is marinated in a spicy sauce and it has the right amount of fat on the meat. Taco de Carnitas- This is also very good. The pork is very tender and moist. Taco de Al Pastor- Didn't like this one as much. The meat was very dry and the texture wasn't very good. Taco de Oreja- This is pig ears and it was ok. The cartilage had a very crunchy texture. I have eaten Chinese food with a crunchy texture like tendons and such but it just doesn't work in a taco. I probably wouldn't get it again but for $3.50, it's worth a try. You might like it. The restaurant also serves beer and there was plenty of tables. I didn't dine in so can't go into detail about the service. From my limited interaction, the wait staff was pleasant and my order was ready in 10 minutes.

    This spot has amazing delicious food, I never dinned but I did do a take out and the service was fast and of course the prices are reasonable. The server was friendly.

    Buen servicio, muy atenta la dueña y el personal muy rica la comida y buen ambiente recomendado 100% y la chicas de la noche

    Carne Molida Burrito - no good.. can't tell whether it's really tough steak chopped up or scraped up chop meat from the bottom of a pan..

    I received my home delivery and noticed the order I placed as either wrong or really bad food. The part of the order was Carne Molida Burrito (this means ground beef). The way this meet looked was as if it was scrapped from the bottom of the pan or a type of steak that was so well done tough.. unsure what happened but tasted awful. The other items ordered was great (Flautas de pollo, Quesadillas and Churro

    Some shrimp dish

    I was not impressed with the food. It was average at best. Service was EXTREMELY slow. I feel like we were treated differently because there we were, 2 Asians in a Spanish town getting Mexican food. Water took more than 20 minutes to get to us. Waitress did not want to come take our order. And food took almost one hour to get to us, while all the other Spanish customers that came after us got their food first. And it really wasn't that busy! 4 tables! We had the guacamole with chips. Average at best. Needs more lime. Chicken quesadilla came with rice and bean. It was decent and it was shredded chicken instead of the whole pieces of meat. My husband had this shrimp dish (see picture) average at best again. Not impressed. The only thing we liked was the free chips and salsa. Salsa was a bit sweet with a kick. Overall food was average 3 stars. Slow service and took way too long for food, minus one star. I won't return to this one again

    Chips and salsa. We loved the salsa.

    Why do reviews havr to be long for you to reassure yourself they are good reviews? I wish i could keep this short. Plain and simple? Do not underestimate this little restaurant. Basket of chips and salsa was served after taking our order which consisted of 2 chicken tacos. 2 enchilada entrees and 2 mexican sodas. 36 bucks for us 2. The best part of all? Food was Excellent! No more no less. Excellent i tell you. More than 5 stars!

    So this place is like all the hype is about it…read more Very good service Very clean The food is different and very quick , tasty and leaves you wanting more . Position are a bit small for a whole in the wall like this and prices are high especially on the tacos but that's because the quality seems really good and fresh and effort put into it. I will definitely try to come back And come early no reservations have to wait in lines cold or warm you will have to. Maybe they should open another spot or expand but that's their business .

    Came here on a Friday night and was seated immediately, but the place was busy! By the time we…read moreleft, there was a line waiting to be seated. The menu is entirely in Spanish but the waiters can help if needed. We ordered the Gobernador taco, a half dozen shrimp, the regular guacamole and the aguachiles verdes. The Gobernador was a large size - really more like a mini quesadilla than a taco in my mind. It was flavorful and filled with seafood. The half dozen shrimp were cooked well, but a little hard and messy to peel. The guac was good, a little oily but tasty. The aguachiles were really good but borderline too spicy for me. The spice continued to build as I ate them and it did feel less enjoyable but it was good to start. My main grievance with this restaurant was how loud it was. I was yelling and struggling to hear what my friend or the waiter said, but the food was delicious. Maybe if it were less crowded it would be ok, but definitely not a great atmosphere for having a conversation.

    This is one of those places that u may not notice since there is so much around the area, one day…read morewe decided to give it a try. They offer a different special for any day of the week, first time around on a Thursday Margaritas special , Tamarind & Mango nice big glass great margaritas, good tasty & nice & strong They start u off with some cake pieces, has a banana bread taste very good. Apps , we tried the Tostones con Birria very good great tasting meat & Chorizo Mac & cheese , also very good. Main dishes , Al pastor tacos & Chicken Burrito were both very good. Next time we stopped by for brunch, we got the bottomless option tried the Sangrita white, good sangrita price wise makes sense assuming u drinking more than 3-4 glasses a person. On the food Carnitas Benedict & short rib hash were both very tasty. For dessert gave the Tres Leches a try not bad, just the right amount of sweet. Another brunch visit & we tried Paloma spritz, good & Mexican coffee, pretty strong in taste. Chicken & waffles topped with bacon, very good chicken good combo dish. & the Lady's enchiladas great taste the enchiladas w the green sauce & cheese on top. Good size restaurant, small bar area towards the back, simple but colorful decor. Service overall has been good, they are attentive. Reasonable prices & u get a decent amount of food. This place has been around for some time, happy we discovered it recently overall good vibe, food & drinks, we will continues to visit from time to time.

    After having dinner, my friend and I were walking around when we came across "Ruta Oaxaca Mexican…read moreCuisine." Ironically, earlier while trying to decide where to go for dinner, I had sent this restaurant to my friend but we ended up going somewhere else and came here for drinks afterward. The drinks were really good! We tried the "Sexy Oaxaca," which consists of 7 Misterios Doba-Yej Mezcal, Cointreau, grilled pineapple, mint agave, fresh lemon, and warm salt. This drink takes your taste buds on a ride. It starts off light and refreshing with the mezcal throughout, then finishes with a smoky effect from the pineapple since it's lit. It was really good!! I also tried the "VIP Old Fashion," made with Patrón Extra Añejo, Nixta corn liqueur, Angostura, and orange bitters. This was also good and was smoked prior to being served, giving it a smoky aftertaste. It's definitely a drink you sip slowly. Although we arrived about an hour and a half before closing, the waiter was very polite and professional. They also didn't rush us out once it was closing time, which I appreciated. There were other customers still there enjoying themselves as well. I will definitely be back for dinner. I'm very curious to see what the food is like. I really enjoyed the drinks.

    I've had Ruta Oaxaca bookmarked for awhile and finally got around to trying it out. The atmosphere…read morewas great and the music was popping. Service wise it was alright. Nothing bad, but I felt like it could've been a bit better overall. The food was good though, I ordered the mixtos tacos, which let's you pick three different tacos from the menu. It was around $23, which is a little pricey. But the tacos were a decent size and definitely filling. My favorite thing I tried was the chori queso. I never had it before and it was honestly the standout dish for me. I would order that again. I also tried the enquites which is street corn. It had a bit of a burnt taste. I know some people enjoy that smokey flavor, but it really wasn't for me. Overall, it was a nice time and for some of the dishes too.
