Mind you we visit many, many, many taco shops across Southern California, Tijuana, Ensenada and Mexicali. Of all those, this does take the top spot as of today. We used to go to a tried a true taco shop elsewhere in Mexicali, but it had been shutdown for some time and on our return it just wasn't the same. We came to Fuerte based on the recommendation of many in our family, and it did not disappoint. We had the carne asada tacos, which is what you need to get here. We did also try the quesadillas, but beyond that we just dove into the carne asada tacos. Tortillas were great and made on site. The carne asada was tasty and full of flavor, and the condiments they lay out all added to our delicious midnight meal. We liked the carne asada tacos so much we didn't get to try anything else. So we will try some of their other offerings next time out.

Waiters grilled the steak appetizer over open flame at the table, along with 5 other appetizers. Everything was way too salty, including the seafood ceviche. I ordered Mochomos signature rib eye medium rare. It came burned on one side and undercooked on the other. I like my food salty but knowing Mochomos' reputation I told the waiter 3 times, NO SALT, the steak still came VERY VERY HEAVILY SALTED, way above my tolerance, also had way too much grisles like cheap meats that I could not cut into with a steak knife, had to leave half. Mochomos' steak was just inedible. In contrary I always eat to the last bite at Morton, Black Angus, Ruth Chris ect. 3 bottles of wines costed about $65 each. The Chile's Cabernet Sauvignon smelled rotten with sulfur odors, like cheap California's $2 wines, tasted unpleasant. Local wine from Guadalupe Valley was tastier, fuller body, without malodor. The French bottle was weak and sour, not very good. Salt and pepper shakers are on the table, why oversalting their food? Mexicans do not have natural salty taste, but some restaurants in Mexico ridiculously oversalt their dishes to make clients thirsty and buy more drinks. I have seen this dishonest business in a number of fancy chains in Mexico. They have no care, no respect for their clients' tastes or health!

They have a private parking lot that charges 50 pesos and right next to it there's a free parking lot. This place doesn't look like much from the outside but once we came in oh boy it's so beautiful. They have a treehouse, vendors, a pig, chickens, turtles, a tortoise. The place was decorated with día de los muertos decor. Lots of pictures of Mexican legends. The food was really good, portions were huge, service was great. We were celebrating my birthday and I got sang Las mañanitas by someone they have performing there.

The dessert of the chocolate cake was dry. Other than that, everything was exceptional and pretty much a nice dining experience.

The kitchen is clean and visible to anyone interested. What a bar! Drink up! The tables were set perfectly, with white linen.

My wife ordered filete mignon served on a puree of califlour with sauteed veggies and loved it. The wine selection was extensive and most were carefully selected from the Guadalupe Valley. Cost for 4 people with d'oeuvres, 2 salads, 2 bottles of wine, 4 entrées, desert, and tip was $200.

Dinner started out promising, their egregiously rude customer service soured the evening…read more This was our first time dining at this establishment. Dinner started off on the right foot. We thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers and the wait service started off okay. Our entreés came out and they weren't as satisfactory. The ribeye was good, but we asked for it to be cooked medium and it was rare. The duck confit was overcooked. It should have been medium rare, it was more than well done and very dry. The grilled octopus was cooked properly but the sauce was bitter. We decided we could live with the steak and duck, but the octopus tasted bad. So we returned the plate letting the wait staff know that the sauce was too bitter for our liking. This is where the night took a turn. After disappearing for a very long time, our waiter returned to tell us that she was frustrated. Frustrated because she couldn't understand why we didn't like the octopus plate, especially since the chef tasted the plate and said it was cooked/plated properly. All three of us tasted the octopus and didn't like it. For the record, we love octopus and have had it many ways across North America. At this point we told the waiter that although the chef thought it was good, it simply was not to our liking. Shortly after this interaction Rosalinda, head of wait staff, came to our table. She said "I know that the octopus was not to your liking, but would you like us to pack it up for you to take home?" We asked why we would want to take home a plate we didn't like. We asked if she had tasted the plate and liked it and Rosalinda said, "Yes. I tasted it. But I don't like seafood." It became clear that they wanted to charge us for the plate of food we sent back and that they wanted to be clear that they thought nothing of our opinion of the food's taste, because the chef thought it was good. After some back and forth, they finally agreed to take the plate off of the bill. Before we sent the plate back, taking into account that all the dishes were off, I said "I'm not going to write a review, because anyone can have an off night. Maybe we'll try again." But after being treated so poorly and feeling insulted, I decided that I needed to warn people about their terrible customer service. Will never return or recommend.
