Quaint somewhat small restaurant with Great authentic Mexican food. Inexpensive. Service was a bit slow so don't be in a hurry. But they make it as you order, so it's worth it. Big portions and delicious flavors. Desserts are ever changing to the owners whim, but she knocks it out of the park. We got strawberry tres leches cake and it was fantastic. There were 6 of us and got a table instantly. Def worth going if you've never been. We are going back asap. read more

Food is great. People are very nice there too . Good place for a date night . The restaurant is a good family place too .

The restaurant was clean, with nice ambiance, friendly staff. We bought some tamales for Christmas. It looks different from the one we get from Los Angeles, but it still tastes good. read more

Food is FRESH. Food is HOT. Food is DELICIOUS. Always great service and even better food when we go here, even with to-go orders! The restaurant has good atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommended. read more

I thinks it's ridiculous and completely inconsiderate not to mention unprofessional as a business to advertise that your OPEN and make people waste their gas trying to eat here when your not open, even your door has your schedule posted and ITS STATES Sunday 11am-9pm and nobody was there and the door was locked do not eat here because clearly they waste your time! read more

The Tamales were really good. Quick and friendly service.

I personally thought the food tasted like it had been microwaved and it wasn't good! We've only given it one shot and hear good things but our experience was great! We usually go to el Mexicano or Rey Aztec because we know we like them. read more

Family owned and operated The food is absolutely amazing Service is top notch. We go at least once or twice a month. I plan to try something different each visit and so far I have not been disappointed read more

If you like Mexican food, you have got to try this place. Service was very friendly. Drinks and food delivered very promptly. We ordered a combo plate with a hard taco supreme, tamale, rice and beans. The taco can be filled with your chose of meats. The shell was crunchy and filled with hamburger meat. Very flavorful. And loaded with lettuce, tomato and sour cream. The tamales here are homemade and absolutely some of the best I have ever had. I had today's lunch special, Jalisco, a dish with shredded chicken, grilled onions and peppers served over Mexican rice with a cheese sauce on top! So good! I've had this dish other places and it would be dry. Not here! And only $5.45 for lunch. We will be back. read more

Love this place! Live in SoCal for 20+ years s d this is the best, most authentic Mexican food I have tasted! Love it and highly recommend. read more

Clean and friendly but the food was not good. Stale chips, weak salsa. The chili relleno was tasteless and mushy with the red sauce that appeared to be just canned tomato. The crunchy taco was okay, but the street tacos were inedible. The guacamole was not traditional guac but was tasty. The enchiladas tapatias were uncooked corn tortillas with chicken tinga inside with canned cheese sauce. Dreadful. The chili poblano was as bad as the relleno only enrobed in unseasoned fried eggs. The rice was typical but the beans were under seasoned . If you live locally it is nice to have somewhere to go grab a beer, but stick to the crunchy tacos and guacamole. read more

Fast service. Friendly staff. Delicious food! You can't go wrong in your selection. My favorites are the carnitas and the Genia special. The pozole is exquisite! read more

The food is so flavorful and amazing! Will eat here over and over! It is a must eat Mexican restauran!

My family and I ordered take out tonight! Everything was amazing. We tried the Yolandas, Chicken chimichanga, kids quesadilla, combo with a burrito and Chile relleno. Go and give them a try. We were very impressed and we are glad to have another option to eat close by. Nothing beats sitting down and eating, but out takeout was great. The chips and salsa are very good also. read more

This is authentic, reasonably priced and made to order Mexican food. Family own and operated, each dish is made fresh. Other places in the area use pre-cooked meats and served at room temp. Here all food is hot read more

This place is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant. Attentive service, delicious food, and a super reasonable price. You can't go wrong here! read more

My food was excellent but my husbands soft taco shell had not even been warmed. Don't plan on a margarita here, it's a canned seltzer. The owner or manager is very nice and made things right but very disappointed based on the other reviews. Also the chips were stale and the salsa had no flavor. read more

Best Mexican food around. Ordered take out multiple times, and was correct every time. The only inconsistency was one time going early and the queso was thin. But every other time and later in the evening it has been thick and awesome. read more

The food is great and the service is even better, the owners are wonderful! Recommend trying for lunch.

We visited for Cinco de Mayo. Due to the pandemic we figured the restaurant in York and King's Mountain would have plenty of business. We live near El Preferido so we wanted to show our support. The restaurant cosmetics are not much. Granted, Penny's wasn't either. They are two weeks new. We stayed on the patio due to the quarantine, which was makeshift booths and burger joint tables. I have learned to not judge restaurants by their outside, especially in this area. Hole in the wall's tend to be the best (palmetto seafood, for example). Besides, with Mexican restaurants I'm more concerned by the foods authenticity more so than the cosmetics. As long as there are no bugs, of course. The food was very good. I went with ol' reliable: pollo con crema. Muy delicioso! The waitress was a sweetheart and was very genuine and present, even though the restaurant was vacant at that moment. My husband got $1 tacos for taco Tuesday. He enjoyed them as well. We did not get drinks due to them waiting for their liquor license. Which is totally fine. We have drinks at home :) I would urge everyone to give them a try. They cook your food for you lol. It is authentic. They are a new business, and were brave enough to open in this pandemic and serve their community and I'm proud of them for that. As business progresses their appearance will advance. We will go back again. So should you. Go go go!!! read more

Wow food is amazing every time , I eat there at least twice a week!!!!Go try themyou won't be disappointed

We went here after church Sunday and having eaten at many Mexican restaurants I have to say this was by far the best I've ever had. Everything tasted so fresh. It's right down the road from my house. Will definitely be going back. read more

Very friendly staff! Give them a try! They even have a covered deck around back so you can eat outside during the pandemic! Food was really good. Love having them on THIS SIDE OF TOWN! Great hot sauces available, just ask! read more

The food is excellent here! Family owned restaurant give them a try. Everything is homemade and they have daily homemade desserts.

We love going every Tuesday for Taco Tuesday! Never had a bad meal!! Highly recommend the Pollo Con Crema!

Hands down the best Mexican food around!! We order takeout just about every week. Our order is always(!) correct, freshly prepared, and delicious! Try their pico de gallo (yum)! note: I have a few food additives allergies, and I never have reactions with my meals! I am so proud for this family that opened their business right as covid was appearing. They have stayed the course, and continue to succeed. We haven't dined inside, but it is sparkling clean! If you haven't tried it yet, GO ! read more

I had a shrimp dish. Others had chimichanga, quesadilla, and tacos. Quick and Friendly service. Will try again.

Great food and friendly staff. They have multiple heat levels of salsa if you ask. Large menu and good prices we've been 3-4 times and the service and food have been great. Fast friendly service read more

Not great. Cheese dip was extra runny and cold. Weird layout of the restaurant. Salsa tasted like it was out of a jar. The chips had a weird flavor, like they were cooked in something not the norm. read more
