    Chilaquiles Verde
    Denise D.

    Usually when I drop in a Mexican restaurant I'm somewhat hesitant to go out of my comfort zone of eating tacos lol. I thought I'd live a little a try something new. When I was served my chilaquiles, the presentation was great. As I started to dig in I noticed how stale the corn tortillas were as well with the chilaquiles. I couldn't even finish the huge portion. It was also full of onions - more than just the usual. Turns out I got food poisoning from eating here. I gave this review 3 stars because the service was great! Friendly people, they just need to make sure the food they're serving is fresh.

    I finally found the perfect place for Mexican food! This place has the best Al Pastor tacos, hand down. I can't wait to try other foods on the menu. I know they won't disappoint you. If you are looking for great, cheap Mexican food, this place is everything!!!

    Sour tasting Chilaquiles Verdes! The crazy part is we ordered two of the same thing only one tastes completely fine while the other tastes sour. The beans have no flavor, rice is ok. We have ordered from there before and this is the first time we've been disappointed. Maybe they have new cooks?

My dad got the barbocoa burrito and I got the Mar y Tierra-skirt steak and shrimp wrapped in bacon. It's funny bc I ordered well done steak and it looked burnt but it wasn't! It was really tasty as was the shrimp. A little too much salt and they forgot my tortillas. The guacamole and salsa were really really good as were the chips. They have a to go counter so it made picking up the order quick and easy. People seemed to be enjoying themselves while dining. Overall, would reccomend and would come again.

We arrived around 4 pm and there was about a 25 minute wait. It is cozy so there were people waiting outside. The decor is more modern than traditional. They have a bar and TVs. Staff are warm and friendly and our server was Dulce. It was a busy day yet she would periodically check in to see how we were doing. We ordered the table side guacamole. It was made fresh at our table and hubby added a little more salt to it. We were also served a small bowl of salsa.The chips are warm and fresh. Hubby ordered the combo fajitas and a strawberry margarita. I ordered the steak enchiladas rojas and a pina colada. Everything was seasoned well and we enjoyed our meals. Kudos to the bartender for making great drinks!

Overall, the experience was solid. The consomé had good flavor, definitely one of the highlights, but felt like it was just missing that one extra layer of richness or spice to really push it over the top. Still, enjoyable. The birria meat was super tender, which we appreciated. Only downside? The cheese. There was a lot of it. Not a dealbreaker, and some folks might love that, but I personally would've liked the meat to shine a bit more instead of being smothered. Chips and queso were solid, and the tacos were satisfying. Cozy little spot near Midway, and the staff was friendly. Would I come back? Yeah, especially for a casual bite if I'm in the area again.

You'll find yourself paying $40 for a drink and $25 for a plate of seafood. It can seem backwards compared to a steak house or what not. The vibes are great on weekends catching a mariachi group coming in offering to play songs for money. And even if you don't pay for play,someone might and you can enjoy a song. I still don't know or even asked if they use fresh water or salt water shrimp. Most places like this use fresh water but charge salt water prices(you just have to ask/hopefully they're honest). The shrimp empanadas were ok. I wouldn't order again. The paella is alright nothing to brag about and very soggy. The champuzon was ok. Some parts of the octopus was really rubbery(as id expect is probably frozen). Oysters just do not smell the best. Overall, not my worse place. I'd say stop by try it. Do not have the highest expectations. Be cautious of what you order in mind of freshness. Sauces/salsas were good.
