    I decided to try out this restaurant and it was worth..My first impressions : authentic vibes ..,the front desk was nice and I was seated quickly. Lots of televisions . Very spacious. The place is full of colorful things. My server was nice and helpful with the menu. Lots to choose from. Service was quick. Enjoyed the chips and salsa. They provide a generous amount of salsa and the chips are on the thicker side vs what I normally prefer on the thinner side. Plenty of drink and food options so, you will definitely find something you like within the menu. I ended up getting the Casa Brias Tacos along with a mango margarita. Both chooses were good. Will definitely be back..,

    It had been a long time since I'd been here. Went on Saturday because we remembered the food and drinks to be supurb. This place was packed with large birthday and graduation parties but we were seated quickly. We were attended to quickly. And given the huge menu to review. We remembered that we loved the wings so we got lemon pepper flavor. Also got the queso and trojas dip (queso with shrimp, steak and chicken). Those wings are some of the best. The trojas dip was just queso with a few large pieces of fajita meat in it. I wasn't impressed. The plain queso was so good! The salsa is just ok. Almost like tomato puree. As for the entrees. 3 of us got birria tacos. 3 of us HATED the birria tacos! If I'd tried birria here first, I would have sworn them off for good. They were bland and over cooked. The consemme was even bad. One person sent hers back. I can't remember the name of the other entree but it was like chopped meat and peppers. It was OK. My friend and I got the Bob Marley drink. It's huge but doesn't pack a punch. At least not for me (my friend was feeling it). I'm sure this place has good strong drinks based on the crowd so I'll try something different in the future. With that said... I'll plan to return. But I'm sticking to wings and queso. This place is way too overpriced for me to waste my money trying things.

    Chimichanga

    Las Trojas Cantina on Hwy 280 delivered a fun and colorful evening out. The atmosphere is big and lively -- lots of space, TVs, and definitely a place you can bring friends or family. I ordered the chimichangas: one grilled chicken, one ground beef. The chicken chimichanga was a win -- nicely seasoned, crisp shell, full filling, and the accompanying rice/beans were hot and fresh. Service was friendly. All in all, I'd go back for the chicken chimichanga and the fun vibe.

    One of those quintessential go-to Mexican restaurants. Lots of drink and food options and huge dining space. Manager was nice enough to change the TVs around us to the game we wanted. The Alambres was sizzling fresh off the iron skillet. It's essentially a fajita type dish with beef, onion, peppers, cheese and a side dish of the classic rice, refried beans, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and guac. Corn tortillas over flour all day, every day. And a "medium" sized pacifico lager. The price wasn't cheap for Mexican food, but I would rather have quality Mexican food and pay a bit more for it. There is definitely a difference in quality between some Mexican restaurants.

    The food is wonderful. The service is great! The only flaw: WAY TOO MANY TV'S!!!!!!!!!

    Beef Taco
    Jay T.

    Much better Mexican food to be had on Hwy. 280. I ordered the beef tacos, and they were absolutely terrible. Some of the worst I've had. The meat was mushy and silky in texture- something like baby food- with no flavor whatsoever. One of my dinner partners ordered a steak quesadilla, which was tasty but was $19!!! This place is WAY overpriced. My other dinner partner ordered the enchiladas special- a ton of food on the plate but just mediocre. This place is huge and was packed with people. It's way overpriced. Better to go elsewhere.

    Came here with some coworkers and it was pretty good. I've always wanted to try this restaurant but never got around to doing so. The servers were nice and attentive. The fiesta plate was really good. Its very cheesy but good. I would recommend,

    The food was great. My kids love their chicken tenders and cheese burgers. The service top notch. And our food yummy !!!! 100% recommend our waiter so nice !!!!

    Fiesta Plate

    Overall, fast, friendly service. I ordered the Fiesta plate and it was very tasty and a lot of food. Chips and salsa were great...chips were hot and fresh. I also ordered the Black Margarita, it was present nicely but lacked taste.

    Beef fajitas

    For just being around the corner I consider it to be a nice little Local treat :) Happy hour margarita is not the best... But it's happy hour.. let's not be too picky now

And for having unisex bathrooms, those were surprisingly clean as well. Our waitress was great, I wish I could remember her name... but I do know she was from Cali. We ordered a couple of strawberry margaritas, which were just your basic drink, but still refreshing. Started off with a basket of chips, salsa and fundido. This is considered an appetizer, so no freebies here. The chips were fresh and warm, the salsa had a nice flavor and the fundido was ok according to the kiddo. We had the grilled shrimp tacos with rice and beans. You had to assemble your own tacos tonight, and order rice and beans separately as the taco plate had no sides, but all delicious.... Beans had a nice kick, the shrimp tacos were missing something in my opinion, but not sure what. We also had the best shrimp quesadilla we ever tried. It has overly stuffed and cheesy with wonderful lime cream sauce to go with it. This entree was a huge hit all around and it did come with a side, so no extra charges. To finish off dinner, we all shared the strawberry tres leches and OMG... Absolutely the best we have had in a while. Too bad it's seasonal. Over all, great experience and would definitely g

I called in my order, showed up about 10 minutes after that, paid, and my order was ready a couple of minutes later. Employees were very nice. Food was good!

I will definitely visit again!!

It's excellent, but what makes it next level is that SALSA BAR with the best salsas I've ever had. It reminds me of taquerias in California. I drowned my taco in all of the sauces. In fact, I could probably be happy eating tortillas and salsa here. Because, yes, the tortillas are that delicious. As is that guac. Again, some of the best I've ever had, gimmicky tableside guac included (never felt that was such a great thing anyway). Here, you get a generous portion of the creamiest quality guac you can imagine. I can't report on the margaritas other than to say they look gorgeous.

You can add onions, limes, cilantro and pickled onions and pickled jalapeños as well as sauce. They had a Verde sauce as well as regular salsa, and a Salsa Borachja sauce with onion, garlic and Mexican beer. It was spicy and delicious. They have plenty of counter seating, a few tables inside and several tables outside. This is a tapas bar more than a testaurant.

Both drinks weren't in your face with the tequila mezcal, they were mixed nicely and had a well rounded flavor. I much preferred the Woderful rabbit though as it tasted less watered down and the ginger beer paired with the mezcal was almost quenching. Overall if you're looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy Mexican cocktails this is a good spot! We did feel rushed to get out of there, and maybe it was because we weren't ordering food. Overall good experience however.
