I know the little trailer is not much to look at but looks are deceiving and yes this is a hidden gem. I had the two tacos combo, which comes with choice of meat i chose tongue. Bottom line, piping hot and fresh, the salsa was on point, you have a choice how hot, want onions and cilantro no problem. I appreciated the ability to have options. There is a another ubiquitous food truck in Mid-town that i have eaten at for oh, 40 plus years, it has a cult following if your from Anchorage you know the one, this place honestly, better, it just was the quality and choices are superior. In fact there have been a few new "taco" joints popping up around town, one is a block away, we ate there very expensive, and good but....this was honestly a better taco. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. They have burritos, and other choices as well. I'll be back. Totally legit.

I do love Serranos and they're some of the best Mexican food in town. This time we just had a…read morewildly long wait in the drive thru for pancita tacos but the tacos were missing that something special about the pork belly that makes these tacos so delightful. They're also pricy. Like $60 ish dollars for 6 pancita tacos and a side of rice. This is still my favorite rice of all time though so paying a premium for good food is worth it. Fortunately for my husband whom chipotles are too spicy for, they did put the sauce on the side.

Trivia: Recipes for molcajete salsa start with the tomatoes, peppers, and garlic being what encore…read morethey are mashed down to a salsa? I was happy to see that the menu here is more like the Northern Lights location than the 4th Avenue location. Mainly, they have the Southwest tacos here. But they were out of No Woman, No Cryo. That beer is a pretty big reason I choose this restaurant. On this visit, I tried a new salsa. Went with the molcajete, and it was tasty. Not a bit of salty. Full of flavor. Here's the rub: Chips and salsa are not complimentary at any Serranos. I always get them because the salsa is so good. But the chips are .... not great. And my tacos came out so fast, I didn't get much time to eat them. So I had a ton left. So I took them home. Cause, well 8 bucks. And, I made nachos with them. Weird thing happened. Once heated up, they tasted WAY better. I think Serranos is missing it with their chips.

This is honestly the closest we've found so far (trust, we have already tried a few places, this one is at the top) The food is great, the service was friendly. Definitely one of the spots we'll keep coming back to whenever we want a little taste of CA here in AK. I love the red salsa you guys give, but that green salsa? Chef's kiss ... I'm literally obsessed. The first time we came here last April, you had it and it was AMAZING. Ever since then, every time we ask for it, we hear either "we ran out of tomatillos" or that "the owner didn't make it". Please bring it back more because that salsa alone would have me coming here weekly

The fiancé and I finished a long hike and decided to reward ourselves with Mexican food. We came to…read moreXalos based on the excellent Yelp reviews (but really, the pics of birria tacos). I was expecting something more hole-in-the-wall (Mountain View has changed so much), but Xalos is an open space with lots of seating and a big menu. I couldn't decide on what to eat but went with the pork carnitas plate. Fiancé went with the birria tacos and we shared some guac and chips. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. The pork on mine was very tender and juicy and there was something about the flour tortilla that was different but very good. I seasoned it with their spiciest hot sauce (I could handle on its own, but accidentally ate a jalapeño right after...yikes). I honestly could have inhaled the whole plate but saved some for later. Fiancé is somewhat of a birria connoisseur, and while these weren't his favorite he enjoyed them. Xalos was a great find and good value for the price (a little over $50 for the two entrees and appetizer). I'd love to try their tacos on our next visit.

There's a little bbq, sandwiches and some Mexican inspired dishes. Definitely has a little bit of everything. Ordering was easy, and they even ask for your number so they can text you when the order is ready! Food was ready fairly quickly. Everything was really tasty! I enjoyed the pulled pork Sammy and loved the pineapple slaw for a bit of sweet. The carne asada fries were also good, but I wish they were more loaded. Pretty sparse order than what I'm used to getting at other restaurants. The bread that the tuna sandwich came on was so good, and the tuna salad had a great wasabi kick. This truck is perfect for a lunch or casual dinner! Their menu definitely pairs well with beer so I hope to see them parked at other breweries around town!

Located in the heart of Eagle River, this locally owned Mexican restaurant has authentic regionally…read moreMexican food. Ambiance - 4.25 Stars the building is modern, open, and airy. It has two floors and an outside patio with a lot of tables, booths, chairs, and benches. It has a full service bar with a decent selections for your vocations and they make Mocktails too. The 1st floor is the main dining area and to the outdoor patio. If it is sunny and warm, I highly encourage you to sit outside to soak up the Alaskan "rays". There are three different areas with fireplaces for additional warmth in the cooler days. The Mexican decorations are tastefully done and some of the art have been made by some of the employees. There is a wooden metal horse made with driftwood and light tin. As you walk upstairs, a beautiful mural is hand painted by a local artist. Also, there is an elevator for people who can't use the stairs; a wonderful addition. Staff: 4 Stars The staff were friendly, professional, respectful and helpful. We were greeted and seated to our tables. Our server assisted our large group of 8. We arrived after 1:30 and were seated in area where it was a tight because one family member is disabled and has an electric wheelchair. The staff were very accommodating and were able to created our table seating environment. Food: 4 Stars As mentioned earlier, this restaurant curates authentic regional Mexican food. You can actually taste the spices, proteins, fresh veggies and the freshly made salsa. There are too many Mexican restaurants that accommodates our "American" preference when it comes to seasoning or "bland" flavors and the food doesn't taste great. Or it covered in queso. The chefs / cooks here, are doing a wonderful job in bringing the real Mexican flavor back. Mucho gracias! Now for the food: 1. Chicken Chipotle Bowl: 4 Stars - $27.00 - a blend of chipotle and spices with grilled chicken, bacon, onions and bell peppers, over our home style rice, beans and three flour tortillas. 2. Lunch Portion - Carne Asada Tacos (2) $18.50 - large corn tortilla filled with carne asada (beef), red onions, pickled onions, and cilantro. Comes rice and beans. The beef was juicy, seasoned well, and flavorful. The corn tortilla is slight cook with oil to make them slightly malleable to hold the amount of beef and items. The frijoles (beans) weren't truly puree so you can taste some of the chunky beans. The rice was good and not overcooked. 3. Lunch Portion - Chicken Flautas. (2) $16.00 with rice and beans. The frijoles (beans) weren't truly purée and you can taste the beans. The two large Flautas were filled with chicken and deep fried tortilla were crispy. The chicken flavorful and tender. You taste the seasoned chicken. 4. Amazing Tacos - 4.5 Stars $24.00 Grilled steak and chorizo on five mini corn tortillas with grilled onions, raw onions, cilantro and fresh lime. Does not come with rice and beans. Additional $6 charge for it. So a $30 dish. Pretty expensive. 5. Steak and Chicken Fajita Combo $28.99. 4 Stars. It is a sizzling skillet with onions, and bell and or sweet peppers. Three flour tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo, lime wedges and sour cream is provided. 6. Carne Asada Burrito - 4.25 Stars $19.99 A flour tortilla filed with grilled steak, rice, and cheese. Covered in green sauce and guacamole. Beans and rice is a $6 extra. This burrito is pretty large. It was plated on the largest plate especially when you add the beans and rice. The burrito with then salsa verde was flavored and seasoned really well. Be ready to unbuckle a notch or two on the pants. You may need to be rolled out. Desserts: We shared the following. 1. Flan - 3.75 Stars - A really good Mexican flan. You can taste the Mexican vanilla bean and custard were cooked well and evenly. Sweeter than the Churros. Served w whipped cream and fruit. 2. Churros - 4 Stars - The freshly made churros were fried and covered in cinnamon, sugar, and served w dollop of fruit and whipped cream. 3. Fried Ice Cream - 3.75 Stars The sweetest of the desserts we tasted. A large helping of vanilla ice cream rolled in crushed cornflakes, then deep fried. It was covered with a raspberry jelly syrup and served in a flour tortilla shell drizzled with honey. All were good and the range in sweetness. Price: 3.25 Stars - it is at a higher end at this restaurant. Be prepare to spend some $$. Also, don't ask for extra chips and salsa, unless you are ready pay an extra $6 after the 1st complimentary bowl of chips and salsa. I highly recommend this place and if you can't make it to Eagle River, which you need to, there is another location on Old Seward in Anchorage. Enjoy!
