    Just your average Mexican food. If you're looking for a good margarita, this is not the place.

    Best Mexican food around! Crazy Chile, Chile Relleno, and Molchejete are fantastic! Highly recommended. Friendly staff.

    Taqueria Costa Chica Gro - Sausage taco, Chicken tamale, Aztec Steak Burrito

    Not my favorite taco place, but it did the job. All the meats were really good, and it was right…read morenext to the Unclaimed Baggage center so very convenient for us. The place itself is small, quaint, and authentically Mexican, and the server was super sweet though not Mexican at all. Prices are VERY reasonable, though they've gone up slightly I think in the past few years (to be expected). Here's what we tried: -Mex Sausage Taco: 8/10 - Small, but great flavor. The tortilla on this taco was stunning: it was a corn tortilla, yet it was so thick and soft. That's not something you see everyday. The sausage (chorizo) was well seasoned and nicely crumbly, and it was an overall pretty good street taco. -Aztec Steak Burrito: 9/10 - The flavor of the meat inside the burrito was so good, as the steak was tender and well seasoned. (The burrito comes with a huge portion of mexican rice and refried beans, and while the rice is your average if not a bit less flavorful mexican rice, the refried beans are very watery and pretty lacking in richness.) The burrito is definitely the important part of this plate, and it hit the mark for me. -Chicken Tamale: 7/10 - Chicken was good, though I wish they had put cheese in with the chicken to add some extra texture and spice things up. It was a well made tamale, just not the best I've had. -Dobladas: 5/10 - We weren't sure what to expect here. Normally dobladas are a guatemalan dish where tortillas are simply folded and fried in a pan with cheese. This was almost like a gordita-esque dish, consisting of an even thicker than normal tortilla with chicken, lettuce, and sour cream. The chicken isn't packing a big punch, and while the tortilla is good, the lettuce and the sour cream don't add enough flavor to really make the dish sing. It's good though, and something more on the fresh side if that's what you're looking for. -Chicken Quesadilla: 2/10 - Wow, so so disappointing. The cheese was barely melted, the tortilla was dry, and the chicken was lackluster in flavor. Not worth it at all. Wouldn't come again, but not a bad experience.

    Without a doubt, this was the best caldo de res that I have had since my Grandmother, RIP, last…read moremade this for me! Huge pieces of carrots, potatoes, and fall off the bone meat with a delicious consume that only gets better with the addition of fresh cilantro and diced onions. Warm tortillas accompany this hearth soup tha twill keep you full ALL day. Yummy! Can't wait to come back for more, especially with the cold weather on the horizon. 92 health rating and a real down home feel. Sin duda, este fue el mejor caldo de res que he comido desde la última vez que mi abuela, que en paz descanse, me lo preparó. Enormes trozos de zanahorias, papas y carne que se desprende del hueso con un delicioso sabor que mejora aún más con la adición de cilantro fresco y cebollas picadas. Las tortillas calientes acompañan a esta sopa casera que te mantendrá lleno TODO el día. ¡Delicioso! No puedo esperar a volver por más, especialmente con el frío que se avecina. Calificación de salud de 92 y una sensación realmente hogareña.

Upon arrival, I marveled at the beautiful decor and how fast we were greeted and seated. Our server Joshua, was attentive and quickly placed our drink orders. The complimentary salsa was some of the best I've had. The salsa was chilled perfectly and very fresh. The veggies were perfectly chopped and crunchy just how I like it. My virgin daiquiri was great as well and was very eye-pleasing. After placing our food order, it did not take long to come out. Both of us agreed that our food was pretty good overall. My friend wasn't overly impressed. He said it wasn't anything to write home about. My quesadilla was a little...watery...not sure if it was from the meat or the veggies. I've had better to be honest. But overall, I would definitely visit here again to try another dish. If you're in the area, check out Julia's Mexican Restaurant.

The mains were Hawaiian Chicken, Enchiladas and Twin Burritos. Huge portions and delicious. Service is perfect and atmosphere is groovy, with low-lighting and artistic touches everywhere. We will go back soon. Broad selection on the menu makes us excited to try new dishes.

One…read morething I appreciated right away was that drinks come in generous pitchers -- great value if you're going with a group. Chips and salsa were brought to the table without having to ask, which is always a welcome touch. Service was attentive considering there was only one server handling the floor. Props to them for keeping things running smoothly. The food was middle-of-the-road -- not the best Mexican I've had, but certainly not the worst either. If you're looking for a solid, no-surprises meal, it'll do the job. The atmosphere is actually one of the highlights. It's a nice bar setting, well-lit, and wasn't overly loud during our early visit -- easy to hold a conversation, which isn't always a given at a bar. Now, the restrooms could use some attention. They're a bit dated and in need of updating. I did get a chuckle out of the handwashing requirement sign posted prominently on the wall -- right next to the one soap dispenser that happened to be completely empty. It makes you wonder how closely that policy is actually enforced. Overall, La Cabaña by JUAN is a fine spot for drinks and a casual bite. Just maybe bring your own hand sanitizer.
