But I consider it an authentic hidden gem and will be back again!

Magical tamales and great menu…read more I have tried many Mexican spots and this one had my favorite chicken tamales. Maybe my 2nd favorite green salsa beside my sister's green salsa. Enjoyed the homemade thick chips with three kinds of salsa: red, green and spicy. I decided to try memelas with beans and green salsa. This spot has thicker tortillas so this was super hearty with half saved for tomorrow's breakfast.

Awesome Mexican !…read more Came in with the wife and kids and an absolutely fantastic meal We got the chorizo tacos, the quesabirria tacos and a few chicken and fingers for the kids. Chips and salsa were on point, they actually brought 2 different kinds of salsa both very different and amazing. The consome for the birria was insane, we put it all over everything. Ended with churros which were A* Can't wait to come back and try more !

First time at this cute place. Clean and the young man who assisted us was personable…read more Came for lunch with my daughter. She had the 3 Tacos Mixtos. Two with chorizo and one with chicken. I had the bistec à la Mexicana (Steak Mexican style). We also had a medium order of guacamole. Daughter loved her tacos. My steak had very good flavor. It came with yellow rice and black beans along with those fajitas. Which I sent back as I had enough food. The food had good flavor. However, I wasn't a fan of the guacamole. I needed more flavor and spice. The negative: they have substituted the skirt steak with flank steak. Skirt steak seems to be the choice meat for every Mexican restaurant I've been to. The flank steak can be chewy and a bit tough if not cooked properly, which is what happened. So while it had very good flavor, it was just a bit tough and chewy as it also had fat and that chewy gristle. Not sure of proper name. I removed 2 stars because of this, the guacamole and because of the credit card price vs cash price. Not every restaurant charges this. The tip was also based on the after tax amount versus the before tax amount as well as on the credit card amount. It's an annoyance. So I adjusted the tip and gave 20% based on the actual subtotal, which has always been customary. They also included tip amounts for 30%. Things are getting ridiculous. I do plan to return and try other menu options that do not include steak and guac and update my rating based on my experience.

The kid was craving Mexican food so we searched Yelp and found that this place has good reviews…read more The photos of the food looked good. We decided to try it. There is no parking lot for this place. There is a Municipal parking lot about one block over behind the post office. We lucked out as there was street parking directly in front of the restaurant. We ordered agua de Jamaica. Huge glass for $4.95. I would guess that it's 16-20 ounces. Gigantic. Well priced. We ordered guacamole which was good too. They didn't give us any salsa for the table like they do at other Mexican joints. For our mains, we ordered their mixed fajitas with shrimp chicken and beef. It was about $21 and it was a huge dish. It's not the usually fajitas that I've had at other places. Theirs comes in a delicious sauce which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a generous portion and the flavors were on point. We recommend it. Our other dish was the El Rinconcito which came with grilled items: pork cutlets, beef, chicken, shrimps cactus, Spanish cheese rice and beans. It was an alright eight. We prefer the saucy fajita dish more. We def plan to go back. Next time, we are going to order their molcajete which is listed at $34.95 so I assume it'll be a huge dish for two based on the price. From the owners description, it Comes with all kinds of meats steak chicken shrimp pork sausage. I'm trying my best not to go back two days in a row but I may swing by for Lunch later. Good is good as is service. Good came out quick and she asked a few times whether we needed anything else. I believe they give some sort of cash discount or charge to use credit card because she asked how I was paying. They add an auto tip of 15% which I didn't mind. Gave her a few bucks more. All in all, it was a good meal. Appears to be a small mom and pop store and I'm happy to support local small business. It helps that the food is delicious too.
