    Chile relleno
    Chrisy H.

    Cute restaurant in Gig Harbor, right on Main Street (Harborview Drive actually). My husband ordered chicken enchiladas, chicken taco, beans & rice. He said everything was alright. I thought rice & beans were good. I had a spicy cheese chile relleno & it was the best part. I loved it! The chicken taco needed salt. The salsa & chips weren't very good, very watery & not very tasty.

    Stopped in for lunch while visiting Gig Harbor. It was still early in the day, so it wasn't too busy. I really liked the decor. Service and food were good. Price was reasonable. For good Mexican food, I recommend it

    We stopped in on a Wednesday night because we ended up with an educator discount card (daughter) and her fellow librarian apparently knows the Lopez family. We were seated immediately and drinks were delivered very promptly. The place is super colorful and fun looking. The menu is pretty extensive but we did have to order two large combos to activate our discount. Challenge accepted! We ordered some crab enchiladas, a chicken chimichanga, and the three amigas. Portions are HUGE (hands for scale). The food was the temperature of lava. We enjoyed all three dishes: the beef was clearly slow cooked, the pork was obviously cooked with some chiles, and the crab was "REAL" as advertised. The beans were tasty and we certainly didn't leave hungry. Our server was fantastic and friendly.

    Always my favorite Mexican food experience. And having spent significant time in Mazatlan I can fairly say this is just as good as anything I ate down there. Service is always with a smile and always a fun and relaxing atmosphere.

    Chips, salsa and kinda salsa.

    Been coming here semi-regularly for about 4 years and my meals are always delicious. The staff is excellent and so is the service.

    Great food and service. My kids loved it. The complimentary chips and salsa were so good. I also enjoyed their virgin strawberry daiquiri.

    What a fabulous place. Casual, authentic Mexican food. Service is fast and friendly. You order at…read morethe counter and they have a great great salsa/sides bar (think pickled veggies and onions, slaw, limes for garnish, jalapenos) and if you're eating in, they give you chips while you wait; your food is brought right to your table. I'm making it my goal to try everything on the menu but it's going to take a while. The burritos are huge and delicious and loaded with fillings and they don't skimp on the meat. Birria and Chile Colorado are my favorites, chicken is plentiful but tends to be a tiny bit on the bland side so the salsas come in handy for that. The platos are HUGE. The refried beans are the best I've had anywhere. Tacos are also great. Have not tried the fish ones yet but I have a friend who's currently addicted so I'm assuming they're good as well. I have not encountered a miss on the menu yet. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Finally tried this taqueria after hearing so many good things about it and I was a little…read moredisappointed. We had adobada, asada and chicken tacos, added a side of fried onion and serrano pepper. The adobada meat was ok, chicken was good and our favorite was the asada. I didn't like the default salsa they put on the tacos, would've preferred just onion and cilantro. In fact I didn't like any of the salsas they offered, the green salsa was the only decent one and I'm sure the orange looking salsa was on its way out, it tasted and smelled funky. Customer service was great. We might come back just for asada tacos but maybe not.

The hot sauces were both HOT although he said the green was mild? But they also offer a popular store brand on the table along with napkins and garbage cans. Tables were clean.

The verdict? "It was delicious and flavorful!"--this praise came from my French husband, who is famously picky about Mexican cuisine. We both enjoy discovering spots that serve authentic, home-cooked flavors, and this food truck did not disappoint. Every bite was bursting with flavor, making it feel like we were eating at a friend's home. Conveniently located in a private parking lot with plenty of parking spaces available, we quickly picked up our order, which was ready and waiting for us. Overall, this hidden gem checked most of the boxes for a delightful dining experience--though the staff could be a bit more engaging.
