Beef taco, cheese enchilada, rice, beans
Craig Z.

I've stopped in twice over the last couple of months. The service has been excellent, the food has been tasty, and the prices aren't bad. I haven't seen the place too busy, so I hope they can grab enough traffic for the location.

First time here and it was very fresh, great quality food and they have frosty glasses for your drink. Definitely going to be one of our regular spots.

Machaca burro enchilada style with green sauce. Very good!
Sylvia C.

I really enjoyed the machaca burro enchilada style with green sauce. It was very good and flavorful! However, it does not come with rice and beans, and I thought $4.50 for a side was a bit much! The fundido sauce was not good at all. It was grainy and not very appealing. The chips and salsa were so-so. The chips were hot but very very thin. It just like they were a bit too thin. The salsa was lackluster. It tasted like they use canned tomatoes? It also needed a little more heat. Over all, just okay! Nothing to really write home about. I've had better so I doubt I will return.

CHEESE CRISP
Karen B.

We ordered from Door Dash on Friday evening. It's not the restaurant's fault, but Door Dash isn't very descriptive and doesn't allow for many changes. For example, my son order a steak quesadilla. He didn't want anything except steak and cheese. The menu mentioned pico but didn't say if it was on the side or on the quesadilla. He still ate it. I'm surprised. He's so picky and will usually give his food to me if it has toppings. We both enjoyed the cheese crisp. I think we are from it, at least, three times. I saved the enchiladas for the next day. I thought they were fabulous. I'd definitely visit or order from this establishment, again.

Beef tacos with double order beans.
Mike H.

Decided to try this as a new option. Small quaint place. Lots of menu choices. Waitress was very helpful with explaining menu options. Service was quick freindly and good. Food came out quick. Very good beef tacos, cheese enchiladas, and tostada. Wasnt real busy at 5:30 on a Sat. By the time we left it got pretty busy. If you like alcohol, they have several of their own recipes. Will be back again.

Chunky salsa
Cory P.

Family owned which I love but watch your receipt. Extra chips and salsa are cost and the food prices are as high as mexican restaurants who don't charge for chip refills. Walking into the restaurant is walking into a Mexican restaurant like you'd think. Music and ambiance is fun. Owner is very cordial. Salsa is chunky with a little heat. Chips are fresh and non greasy. Mexican pizza was $15 - it looked like I could've made it at home but meat portion was good. Chicken burrito- Good portion of meat but little cheese and again I could make it at home. (Convenience is a yes and no clean up is always very appealing. True. Machaca plate $17 - great dish. Meat portion was big. $4.50 for sides is steep especially with extra chip baskets being $2.50 a hit. 4 stars for the experience but 3 stars in the grand scheme because their competitors are 4 stars and we will choose them before coming here -Although the food was good and the owner was nice.

The service was friendly and quick. I ordered a taco plate (w/ rice and beans) with 3 different tacos (al pastor, pollo and cabeza). They have a Pepsi fountain so I skipped a drink and had water. I looked around at all the decorations and flair in the building...quite unique! My plate came out quick and looked pretty, especially with the radish garnish. However, nothing on the plate wowed me. The tacos, rice and beans were all quite bland. The meats just didn't have the flavors I was expecting. Nothing was bad...but just not a place I see myself coming back to.

The elevated atmosphere struck the perfect balance of upscale and inviting. Party of four--two of us visiting from San Antonio (so yes... we take our Mexican food seriously), and two who were honestly a little hesitant walking in because the menu isn't your typical Tex-Mex lineup. But let me tell you... by the end of the night, everyone was completely sold. We kicked things off with the shrimp aguachile verde, chips, salsa, and fresh guacamole--bright, fresh, and packed with flavor. Every bite felt intentional and elevated. For entrées, we went all in: Sonora taco, green enchiladas, bacanora tacos, and green chili cream enchiladas. Each dish had its own personality and depth--this is not your average Mexican restaurant, and that's EXACTLY what makes it so good. Service absolutely matched the food. Jasmine was incredible--warm, attentive, and genuinely engaged in making sure we had a great experience. Then manager Kevin stopped by personally to check on us, which took things to another level of hospitality. And just when we thought it couldn't get better... dessert. Kevin brought out an off-menu, down-home key lime cheesecake recipe from his mom--paired with fried ice cream--and WOW!! Easily one of the best desserts we've had in a long time. If you're hesitant because it's not "what you're used to," lean into that. This place is authentic, elevated, and absolutely worth it. We'll 100% be back.

We enjoy Espos for Tacos Tuesdays. We arrived a little before 7pm and waited for about 5 minutes to order. They called our number about 5 minutes later. Pretty efficient service as there was constant traffic. They offer 10 street tacos for $12.50 with choice of ground beef, chicken, shredded beef, carnitas or carne asada on Tuesday's. We ordered 10 carne asada tacos to share. They offer a nice self serve topping bar that includes a generous selection, three sauces, pickled red onions, cabbage, lettuce, limes. Freshly made corn tortillas give the tacos a home made flavor. Although the tacos are small, sharing 10 provided a satisfying meal for us. They have table inside and on the patio. We opted for the patio as it was nice weather. Mexican music played in the background was pleasant and set a relaxing mood on the patio. Highly recommended!

So wife just about to bite down on the toothpick that was left in her flauta...huge safety risk! I ordered the carne asada plate that comes either burrito style or as a plate with flour tortilla; which is how I ordered it. Got home and no tortilla...too much to go back so let it go. Guacamole was way spicy today! This is where consistency is an issue because I think it depends on who is making it. Some days it's perfect and other days it's spicy hot like today. Overall everything was good and they were fairly busy but we didn't have to wait too long for our order.
