    Tacos Dorados 11.99 were ok
    Kim C.

    Tried this place for lunch today we were the only ones here except for couple of people getting food to go. It was about 2pm when we arrived. We both had chicken tacos. I had the soft one's and they were really boring. Only boiled unseasoned chicken with some shredded lettuce and a tiny sprinkle of cheese. Barely tasted like chicken but atleast it was moist. He had the tacos Dorados better than mine but still had that boiled unseasoned chicken. Atleast his had some diced tomatoes and more cheese in a fried taco shell. The rice and beans were ok. No complimentary chips and salsa here. But they do have a small salsa bar. The green salsa was good, spicy. Coke products and Agua frescas. If I were to come back I'd get something different. Overall this place is just ok.

    They have the best camarones a la diabla here. Shrimp consistency is a little tough but still the flavor is the best tasting camarones a la diabla I've ever had. Rice and beans, good. Chicken is good. The enchiladas, it's flavor is one of the best tasting sauces, I'm speaking about the tomato based sauce. Their other enchiladas that come with The Plaza is really good too but I like the tomato based one better. They have corn tortillas de mano.. yey! But omg, the camarones a la diabla, that sauce if I'm fortunate to get extra I put it on my rice and beans too, put it on everything i say SO GOOD!

    Plato de sopes de pollo. So good.

    Don't listen to the other reviews on this place. It is not good. We ordered enchiladas and a burrito and both were not good

    Good tortas.. the chicken was very tasty, a bit on the dry side though. They had a green salsa that was out of this world delicious.

Once you step inside, the vibe shifts instantly into a perfectly clean, well-organized Mexican eatery that feels both authentic and welcoming. The service is incredibly friendly and the prices are more than fair. It's the kind of hidden gem that makes you feel like you've been let in on a local secret. The food is quite frankly phenomenal. We're talking enchiladas cooked to perfection, delicious tortillas, quesadillas boasting that glorious, milky-stretchy cheese we all dream about, and bold salsas that bring just enough zing to make you reach for your napkin (and maybe a glass of water). Even the staples like refried beans and rice were flawless, leaving us with absolutely nothing to fault. If you're looking for a meal with enough soul and spice to make you sweat, this is a must-visit!

They need to work more on presentation with their food. If it don't look good, it don't taste good. The eggs tasted weird and the rice was terrible, I'm sure it was old rice. The beans were alright but I will not be back. Price is not worth it either 16$ is a no no for the food quality.

    If you know me, you know I LOVE Mexican food. I read an article about this restaurant with rave…read morereviews and decided this is where I wanted to go on Mother's Day. Drove two hours from the Bay Area to get there and it was totally with the trip. My son got the mole negro and I got the chile verde. Everything on both plates was authentic, delicious, and AMAZING. My son tried my chile verde and said it was the best he's ever tasted and I agreed. They were super busy because it was Mother's Day, but we were seated after a short wait and our waitress was super efficient and friendly. Several times during our meal someone checked to see if we needed anything. Not going to lie, we were a bit intimidated when we pulled up as there were no other non-Hispanic people in the large crowd outside waiting to be seated. I told my son that meant the food was definitely going to be good, but I was worried about how we would be received considering the political climate these days, but it wasn't an issue. Everyone was super friendly. Will definitely be going back to try other items on their menu.
