    Chicken fajitas
    Sergio F.

    I found this little cool hole in the wall while jogging back home. While it may have been a regular "fonda" a few years prior, it is now gentrified with a turf/ flower wall for "the gram". It still retains the cafeteria counter seating , and also has regular tables. Since I was coming from working out, I just sat at the bar but had water. The dishes are your regular tex-mex classics with sizeable & well-seasoned portions, starting with the crispy chips. Both the red & green salsas that came with them were nicely hot. In addition to red refried beans, cups of pico, sour cream and rice, the chicken fajitas were equally flavorful no doubt enhanced with celery, generous helping of tomatoes and green peppers. They also make a nice cafecito. Definitely worth the find!

    Free parking if you can get a spot always a plus. Small place w fast friendly service! Taco Tuesday specials 1.50 can't beat it. Tacos are served as ordered without the over bearing garnish however there is a small salad bar to add garnishes as you desire. A good place for a quick affordable dinner with quality ingredients! I peaked into the kitchen everything is made fresh to order. We will probably be back!

    Chips and guacamole
    Beth S.

    I only came here because when I went to the Miami River Mexican cuisine store they were closed due to some kitchen issues. The guy came out and sent me over here instead. My daughter and I ordered the chips and guacamole. The guacamole was actually more tasty than at the other store. The one other time I'd gone there the guacamole was bland. The order is pretty big. It's a lot of guac. We took home leftovers of the guac. I also ordered the Elote. It was very good, except one side was warm and the other side was cold. But the combination of flavors- the lime juice, cheese, cream, and Anjito was delish! For our meals I got the 3 fish tacos on corn tortillas and my daughter got the 3 shrimp tacos on flour tortillas. We both finished all of our tacos. Mine were delicious! I'm not sure what the sauce on the side is. It tasted like a mix of ketchup and mayo?!? But they also put two salsas on the table. The green one is SPICY! The red one is mild. Altogether our meals were about $45. Not bad. Parking is an issue. I didn't see a parking lot. There are spots right in front of the store. But only a couple. Since we were going there at 3 in the afternoon it was easy for us to get a spot. We were the only people eating in the restaurant. There were a few people who came in to pick up orders. I would come back again if I'm in the area, but this place is pretty far away from where I live.

    This small spot is authentically decorated, I would pass on drinks as none of us are happy with our choices. The food was ok, nice presentation.

    One night, during my visit to Miami, I was craving tacos and I stumbled upon this gem. This spot is on the smaller side but it's clean and cute inside. I could see it getting packed on weekends because the food was delicious! The waitress was friendly and quick getting our order in. I appreciated that our food came out hot and fresh. The tripa was crunchy and overall, the tacos had good portions of protein in them.

    Menu

    Llegamos y nos sentamos pero el restaurante se mantiene muy frío; demasiado frío. Pedimos las bebidas y el camarero si nos las trajo, y pedí después un flan. Todo iba bien hasta entonces. El camarero no nos ofreció agua, no teníamos cubiertos; tuvimos que pedirlos. El camarero parecía tener prisa por irse a platicar en vez de atender a sus clientes. Dejaba las cosas rápido en la mesa y se iba de prisa. El servicio tiene que mejorar bastante. La comida era mediocre, unos tacos de pescado muy simples, y los aguachiles; demasiado ácidos y no con muy buen sabor. No volvería a este restaurante. Es otro típico lugar con un menú extenso y poca calidad de servicio y comida.

The service was just okay and the music too loud for my liking, making it perhaps not ideal for families with children. It was very busy and not necessarily spacious. However, the food is transcendent. Everything that we tried was outstanding, even the chicken nachos and quesadilla. They season and cook everything properly. The beef tacos were fresh and tasty and the quesabirria tacos were even better. Great flavor and balance. What takes this restaurant to an elite level is the mole. It is exquisite and a rare find.

When I looked 20 minutes after at my credit card statement read I had been charged $77 and change pending a potential tip on top of that, even with tip included it is still over approximately $7 what I signed off for. We called to determine the prices of each individual meal and "the manager" was stumbling to tell us the prices for everything. Even with the fake numbers that were given to us it still didn't add up correctly. I remember the prices for the 3 meals my family and I ordered and I remember what the check said. I let it be because maybe they need more than I do. As for the food, I'm born and raised on the border of Mexico and although I must say it does scream authenticity especially on appearance the meat is bland, and that "Mexican rice" is by far the worst tasting rice I've had. For a casual person that likes Mexican food you may like it, but if you know what you're tasting you will not. Also, they didn't have 4 different things on the menu available ultimately leading me to have to go with my 5th option. It is very expensive for what it is, and even more expensive when your waitress manipulates the system.

Mauricio was at the bar and we definitely missed being under his attention by not sitting there. Eliezer (the Venezuelan waiter from Mérida) took care of us in the dining room. Both are always very friendly and attentive. This time we decided to sit in the dining room because we were a group of three and had a lot to talk about. The place has 4 TVs and we were able to enjoy the France vs Spain match. We all ordered La Tropical Draft beer, a light, smooth, and very refreshing blonde. In total we had 16 beers . We shared nachos with grilled steak, which were very good (they pour the melted cheese right at the table). We also ordered tripa tacos well toasted (that's the technique) as we requested, and they came out excellent. Note: They have different promotions or offers depending on the day, not a regular happy hour variety, so it's good to be aware of that. The restaurant offers a good variety of 8 salsas: Sirloin, Chips, Guacamole, Verde, Vicente, Pastor, Chilanga, and Asada. Good atmosphere, pleasant service, and tasty food. We'll definitely keep coming back.

I am gluten free so the fact that they make their own corn corn tortillas is amazing and about 90% of the menu is gluten free. I do have a nut allergy so there were a few items I couldn't have but still lots of options. The server recommend doing family style so we got a few things to share. We really enjoyed the short rib tacos and Verde chicken enchiladas. They were both outstanding. But the best part of the meal was the watermelon margaritas, holy moly so good! I highly recommend this place and its a cute little area to walk around and explore after.

    I have heard so much around this place and I can confidently say it lives up to the hype!…read more Finding parking nearby is a bit tricky as it is only street parking and there's only outside dining available. The music selection is fire though and I was jamming out the whole time while waiting for my food. I complimented them on the music selection and they mentioned the owner is dominican and puerto rican which explained the great music selection. I was helped out by Adrian and his service was helpful in finding what dishes to order. I took my food to go and it was piping hot, definitely made fresh to order which I enjoyed. The nachos were what I was most eager to try as they are all the rage on social media. They lived up to the hype and that nacho cheese is absolute gold. I love that it's served in a pizza box. It just makes it iconic. It travels well and everything was still hot when I got home. The Al Pastor taco was just okay, nothing to write home about but now the steak burrito was really really good. I love that they don't have rice in their burritos and instead replace it with potatoes, which is absolutely delicious. They give two different types of salsas with your order plus limes and the green salsa is unreal. Add it to everything for a flavor boost! All in all this place is fire and if you're craving nachos, this is definitely the place you should come to get your fix!

Ever since I tried their steak Caesar salad I've been obsessed. That was my usual from there for 5 years. 2 nights ago we ordered from uptown and when we got our order I was so angry I didn't want to even eat my food. 1. Steak literally looked like wet dog food 2. They no longer do the frisée salad instead It's just plain old Romaine lettuce 3. For some reason they stopped giving their salsa now which was the highlight of my order 4. The container is so small and the egg was so hot that it melted all the Parmesan cheese and it was just a nasty glob 5. The eggs were so over boiled that they had that grey tint on the yolk and smelled horrible 6. 2 salads cost almost $50 so jokes on us Never again!!! I've literally banned uptown from our house. The audacity to charge so much for a mid salad topped with nasty dog food looking "steak"
