    My lunch #1; lots of yummy food and whole beans not pureed!
    Linda V.

    One of the book club members likes to eat at places, for our monthly meeting, that her husband does not like and it was her month to be pick so she picked La Napolera! I'm glad she did bec it was good and I had plenty to eat! Our server was a friendly sort but with 5 women why shouldn't you! After we ate we sat and talked undisturbed which was great!

    Awesome Mexican restaurant here on Kingsley Ave. lots of parking here today Friday at around 5:00 pm. Not too busy. Cool front host, professional and friendly. Got us seated right away. Our waitress, Jazlin (Hopefully I spelled it correctly). She was quick, friendly, attentive, and very kind. Excellent recommendations from here. The quality and the quantity of the plates here are good. Plenty of food for the price you pay. We also really enjoyed the scene here, very nice vibe, and cool decoration. Overall, amazing experience today. We'll have to come back here again before going back to California!

    Taco, enchilada, beans and rice.

    This is not the place to go for a high end meal. If you are looking for a quick lunch that is very tasty and budget friendly, this no is the spot to go.

    Tacos Al pastor. My fav!

    Cinco de Mayo! Very busy but seated quickly. Food took a little longer than usual but not a lot. My tacos were wonderful. Enchiladas were excellent. We were not a big fan of the rice this time but the beans were good. It was quite lively due to all the celebrating. Still a staple go to for me.

    The prices for this place were OK. You can have get a meal for 10-15 bucks and it has a lot of choices. However, there's a good amount of flies in the air and the food was tasteless. The beef tasted boiled and the tacos were terrible (didn't know tacos could be bad). Rice and beans tasted like they came out of a can. The Chile relleno tasted pretty good, but was more of a soup. Service was good and fast but way overshadowed by the poor meal.

    Nice atmosphere. Comfort. Staff welcomes you ans was excellent in answering questions. I had the Enchiladas Supreme which was very tasty. With four different enchiladas it was a taste delight. Our party enjoyed there food and prices were reasonable.

Greeted and sat right away- 5 of us. Hostess nice, server nice. Right away had two large bowls of chips and two types of salsa brought to us. Chips were good, just added salt. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. And we were patient, super patient. It was a Friday, but it was not overly crowded, like I said - seated immediately around 7:40. Drinks, took over 30 minutes for a pineapple one and three skinny- we joked the food would arrive first, but we were very wrong. Then, the waitress waited for us to try- I think it was a newer person at the bar. We tried to like it, but somehow it tasted like flat sprite.our server took them away and made us them herself. Now, those were great. Small side of guac was brought after that- meant to go with the meal, but we were so hungry we just ate with the chips. It was very good- fresh tasting. Then we waited. And waited some more. Asked about the food, then waited some more. Finally, we cut our losses and asked for the check minus the food that never came. The band was starting next door and we wanted to celebrate the bday girl. Pic 1, text just after 8pm- shows me joking that I was going to eat my friends food since she was headed over from next door and taking a bit and we had ordered 10 minutes prior. Pic 2, text shows us giving up- 9pm. So over an hour wait on food that never arrived - even if busy that would be a deal breaker. We were excited to try it too- disappointed.

I ordered the 3-taco lunch special. But I should have given my taco's some thought. I got 1 fish (I should have gotten this in a soft shell) the 904 taco and the one night, with ground beef. The chips, I felt like they came right out of the oil, freshly fried. The taco shells, I think they came out of a box or bag! Now that that's out of the way! I'm not on the West Coast! The fish on the fish taco was good, but I felt like I just wanted some tartar sauce and some fries. It wasn't a good fit for the taco to me. and again, I put it on the wrong tortilla. The skirt steak taco, the meat wasn't very tender, and not much flavor. The only sauce I had was the salsa, so that helped out this taco and the ground beef taco as well. Now, I was really surprised, the ground beef taco (one night taco) stole the show. It was seasoned well, and it was just good! I just wish the taco shells were better. This is a good hang out spot, they offer 2 for 1 drinks YESSSSS! So a great spot to hang out with friends and family. I didn't get to enjoy that part! But I think I will check it out one of these days.
