    Tortillas
    Louisa L.

    TUH! I have been in and out of this store so many times... had no idea they made food in there until today. LemmeTellYew... I am on my 3rd bite and my taste buds are in a euphoric moment. It is absolutely delicious- they have a menu written on a board (so you already know it's about to be bomb). It's written in Spanish, don't be shy about pointing lol. The gentleman that helped me spoke English so no worries hahaha. It came with fresh tortillas and I got a chicken tamale that I know will be amazing. Oh... prices are reasonable. Found my new spot!

    Las Fajitas

    Little hidden gem in a Mexican grocery store. The food was fantastic, I got the fajitas and serving size was huge. Service was good, very authentic, most people seemed to speak Spanish only though. Be prepared to order in Spanish!

    Deliciousness
    Denise H.

    The food is delicious and tasty. My shredded chicken tostados was spicy. I enjoyed my meal. The roasted chicken and rice was already prepare in the food display case. The atmosphere was great, Latin music playing, place was clean, and there is a store attached to the restaurant. You pay for your meal in the store. I will be returning to this restaurant.

    Best taco de lengua I've ever had!! I got the missus the bistek & cecina. I can't wait for her to try it.. I was salivating so bad behind my mask that I ate my tacos right in the parking lot!! I'm coming back for more

    Great little gem of a restaurant I found while shopping in the food market. Real authentic and fresh. They make the tortillas right there in front of you and they have a ton of options to choose from. Plenty of tables and chairs to eat in or if you prefer to take out. I highly recommend giving it a try

    Enchiladas verde, emolada, tacos dorado, lil' tamale
    Robynn V.

    Passed by this place countless times and finally after 2 years, we ordered three dishes and a tamale. THEY. BLEW. OUR. MINDS. We got the taco doradoes with chicken, enchiladas verde so rojas with steak, and emolada. All had distinctly different flavors and amazing flavors. The enchilada was refreshing, the emolada was deep and rich, the taco dorados were satisfyingly crunchy, and that little tamale was big on flavor. I am so mad we didn't order from here sooner! Very clean too. Will definitely be ordering again.

This is an all you can eat Mexican buffet! We were pleasantly surprised and greeted with a warm welcoming smile from our waitress. We quickly ordered our drinks and were given our utensils. The vast array of food was absolutely incredible! This place did not disappoint! You had several types of empanadas, beans, different kinds of proteins with an assortment of seasonings. They had a cold table with chopped up lettuce, cheeses, cremas, cucumbers, guacamole, salsa verde and much, much more. The dessert buffet table was filled with many kinds of Mexican desserts, flan, strawberry cakes, tres leche cake and even had fruit. The ambiance took you back to a cantina in Mexico. The DJ played really good Spanish songs and all I kept on thinking was to dance these tacos off! Price for us 5 (4 adults, 1 child) was $125 which was totally worth every penny. The only thing I would recommend is to bring a cerveza or whatever you want to drink. It's BYOB! 10 out of 10!

    I love trying new restaurants and have had this place on my radar for a while…read more We decided on a whim to try them on a Saturday night in the summer. We got right in with no wait. There was live music in the main dining room consisting of one singer singing Latin music. We were each given a tablet with the menu, which was pretty awesome. It took us a long time to decide what we wanted because we were enthralled by the extensive menu with all of the photos on the tablet. I decided to order a cocktail and my husband got the horchata while my mom got an unsweetened iced tea. They have a full bar with a ton of specialty drinks. My drink arrived with flower petals adorned to the side of the glass. We also received complimentary chips with salsa and salsa verde. As an appetizer we decided to do the taquitos. I love taquitos so I was excited, and the presentation was great. However when we bit into them we noticed they were just pieces of chicken breast rolled in tortillas and fried. No seasoning. No cheese, nothing mixed in. I was surprised. The taquitos I've had in the past are made with shredded chicken and potatoes with cheese. These were lacking flavor and dry. I wanted to love them so much but I just couldn't. For our entrees, I did the chimichanga mixto which was a chicken and beef chimichanga. They were on the smaller side but plenty for one person. The filling was mixed with salsa but again felt bland. They were serviced with a side of rice. My mom got the pina loka, which was grilled shrimp, chicken, and steak with onions and peppers inside a pineapple. Hers was very good. My husband got the La Jeño mix which had chicken shrimp and steak with cheese sauce, rice, and veggies. The flavor of his was pretty good as well. We skipped dessert, but the menu was extensive with all your Mexican favorites plus items like chicken parm. They also have a full breakfast menu. The music was very loud for the small dining area if you wanted to have a conversation, but the singer was doing his thing. We made sure to tip him on our way out. The servers checked on us frequently and service overall was good, I just wish the food wowed us more because I so wanted this to be our new fave.

The business is all hand painted with authentic Mexican murals and clean. We met the manager, Angel, who was very pleasant and tentative. Our portions were large and tasty.

    Excellent new Mexican place! We tried the lengua tacos, chicken enchiladas, tamales, and horchata…read more My fav was the lengua tacos. The lengua was super flavorful, the tortilla was the perfect texture and had good corn flavor, and the onions provided just the right amount of sweet and crispy contrast. Portion size of enchiladas was very generous and the tamales were freshly made (only available on Saturdays)! The service was very friendly. The restaurant does get a bit smoky when they're cooking the meat, but the interior is nice. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!

    I have to start by saying, I'm diverting from my usual Yelp format for this one. I'm not annoyed…read moreI'm writing this review. I'm not annoyed that my food took way longer than I was told. I'm not annoyed that I understand why...because 3 really nice women were working like crazy in what was certainly a crazy Cinco de Mayo. I'm annoyed with myself that I said "this food had better be spectacular for this wait". And I'm glad to say....it's sure as hell was spectacular. The wait was understandable. It was Cinco de Mayo. Anyone from this area knows that no one does that holiday like Williamstown. Just kidding, we are so out of to much we celebrate the holiday in March. That being said, they were slammed. Like, slammed. Overworked, crushing it with their determination, the only thing I would recommend is being a little more up front with wait times. Trust me, people aren't going anywhere if you serve food like this. Fortunately, I live close by so the back and forth wasn't an issue. The food....was incredible. I mean, tender chicken. Seasoned perfectly. Fresh lettuce and tomato. Rice that was fluffy, sticky, and flavorful. I even loved the beans. The nachos were huge and plentiful with the right stuff and not the chip stuff. The chicken enchiladas were outstanding. The rice was so delicate and delicious. I'm not even sure what I ordered but the green salsa let you know who was boss. I gained 5 pounds eating a quarter of that stuff, and I can't wait to pack on some more pounds when I eat it for breakfast. This place is a gold mine. Can't wait to go back.

I'm always looking for a good happy hour that has discounted drinks and food. $7 apps and discounted drinks as well (I don't recall the pricing.). We shared the chicken empanadas which were full of chicken, crispy outside and sitting on top of guacamole. The goat fries had a nice sauce, bacon and jalapeños. Both good- the empanadas could have used a little more heat (flavor not temp) and the fries could have had more of the sauce. The broken burrata salad was yummy just needed a pinch of salt. Our server was friendly - checked in enough while allowing us the time to just sit and talk.
