The salsa and warm refried beans that came with chips were the perfect start to our meal. I ordered shrimp Chimichangas and my husband got the fajitas and both were flavorful and large portions. Per usual, he ordered some extra tortillas to go. We both had leftovers and they even reheated nicely. I ordered a mango margarita and he chose a pina colada and those were also delicious. I would return if I were ever back in town.

I had three tacos on corn: one steak and two al pastor with cilantro and onions. The meat was pretty dry, though it did have good flavor. I'm from Chicago where tacos tend to be a lot juicier. I also tried the carne asada with green chile. It wasn't fried--just heated with green salsa poured over it. Decent flavor, but nothing mind-blowing. The place kind of reminds me of On the Border, but with a more Mexican feel. It's sorta authentic, but definitely leaning toward fast food vibes. That said, their salsa bar is awesome and definitely a highlight. If I were back home, I'd give it a 3-star rating. But considering the area doesn't have a ton of Mexican options, I'll bump it up to 4 stars.

Our server Eddie was exceptional! And the food was as good as we remembered. The shrimp quesadilla meal with beans and rice was packed with flavor and ingredients. The lunch sized portion of steak fajitas was large enough to leave with leftovers and had more steak than onions which I have never had before (most restaurants add more onions to make your plate look fuller).

Ya GOTTA try one -- it's an AMAZING treat!…read more It's true -- it's a meal to be eaten within the hour: the shell is super crispy and has excellent flavor ... if you let it cool off for later, it's still great, but a very different experience. I like to add cold sour cream, regular Pace salsa & some green olive juice from home -- the store doesn't keep these onhand & that's ok. AND gotta have one of the authentic Tamarind drinks! They also have an amazing selection of legit chips If the SECRET of the Roasted Pork ever gets out -- it's so amazing, it might hafta be regulated!

This was freshly cooked after you ordered not sitting around waiting to be microwaved. You order at the counter and grab your own table. I think if they added a bit more ambience and some wait staff in the evenings they would expand their business significantly.
