The restaurant is not for inside dining so be prepared for ordering to go. I ordered enfrijoladas for $12. I've never had them and didn't know what to expect. The price was somewhat steep but the portion and weight was definitely hefty. The food was scrambled eggs layered with corn tortillas, beans, cheese, and sauce. I wasn't crazy about it but it is more my personal taste with corn tortillas. This happened to be a solid dish and I would recommend checking them out.

However a few dishes, as well as some plating designs are a little lacking. The Ambience was pretty stark too. But the Service however was friendly and informative. I particularly enjoyed the "Pariliada". Some dishes that missed the mark were the Chicken Enchiladas Verde, and the basic Taco Plate. Overall, Taqueria Las Cumbres is worth a visit, but not unique enough for a special occasion.

Had a queso fundido, tasted good, but it was so thick, it was hard to eat. It was hot as F¥{€, but still thick as $#!+, hard to enjoy. Bartender was awesome. Will definitely return.

They got my order wrong and then my food was not fresh off the grill. It was literally lukewarm. You would think it would be hot to the touch if it was just made ? Keep in mind no other customers were present. I ordered a burrito with melted cheese on top and then when I cut into it to eat it, it literally tasted like less than Taco Bell quality. Both my mother and I agreed it was not good. Not authentic tasting, not full of flavor at all not hot. The chips and salsa that they served were mediocre as well. The chips were 100% stale. My mother and I politely let the lady no and she didn't look happy and then walked away and "ok bye, have a good day" as she walked away making no eye contact. We walked out and did not even finish our meal. We just left a tip which wasn't even deserved because our waitress was not apologetic or friendly. She didn't even smile once. Will not be returning.

(too saucy....) and the pierogis (not enough flavor and too oily, but not at fault of kitchen staff). The menu has tons of variety too, and their specials change out so regularly i cant keep up! The drinks ive gotten there have been phenomenal so far, and the mocktails dont make you feel like youre missing out on any fun. In addition to the Food, the service is positively delightful. Our server last time i went was also the bartender, and the other staff were kind enough to step in and help him with our orders, and he himself was more than helpful enough. The interior of the resturaunt was beautiful with wonderful lighting and a very cohesive layout, but i do have two complaints: the tables are very small and the booths are very low. When you order at a tapas resturaunt, you dont really get just one or two plates at a time, and when a solid quarter of the table is being occupied by the standup menus, the water glass, and the decorative flowers, it gets crowded very quickly. Overall a 9/10. Definitely a wonderful place to go with friends, family, or even on your own!

I have been meaning to post this for awhile…read more I sadly only have bad things to say.... First! The girls they hire to work here can be VERY rude, the food is not great, I think this is really just a place people get together and drink at so the environment isn't very relaxing.

The waitresses are also really, really nice. I am by no means fluent in Spanish, and I'm sure I sound hilarious trying to order. But they don't give me grief, know what I mean while I'm stumbling in my horrible american spanish, and will also try to teach me how to say it I've only managed to say paella correctly but that's about it. If you like Mexican food, real Mexican definitely check it out. Won't regret it!

She told me that if I would have ordered corn tortillas I would have gotten six. She did not tell me that when I placed my order. There was an infomercial on the tv, so the ambiance wasn't great.
