    two tacos in a styrofoam container
    Evelyn C.

    Found this place by searching Mexican restaurants near me, saw some photos and decided to order for pick up. Ordered (3) tacos and nachos and thought the amount I paid was a bit pricey. (2) tilapia grilled tacos (you can ask for it to be fried), came with a super small side of rice and black beans. (1) Tacos al pastor All were delicious and flavorful. Nachos had chicken, cheese, peppers on top and came with a side of guac and salsa. Staff is friendly and service was great.

    I was extremely disappointed with little jalapeño. I know that Carnitas tends to be fattier than some other meats, but my tacos were basically nothing but fat. I thought the tamales were dry and all the flavor came from the salsa on top of them. Maybe this was an off day but I am not sure that I would come back given that it's a bit pricey for what you get. I also with they had aguas frescas!

    So good! Try their birria empanadas. From the horchata to the flan, everything was excellent. The family who owns this place was so friendly and accommodating. Can't wait to be back!

We walked in and sat ourselves. The server came over with the menu and we decided to share the mixto fajitas. The server came and brought some complimentary chips and some beans with cheese on top. Very small serving but enjoyed the "starter". She then brought out our mixto fajitas with 3 homemade tortillas. They were a little thicker and puffier than regular tortillas. They were very good! We wished we had gotten one more so we could each have two. The amount of meat and veggies was perfect. Much more shrimp than I had anticipated. The shrimp were big, butterflied and flavorful. I can imagine other dishes on the menu being very good. The decor was festive. There is a TV that is blaring which was a little distracting. They have a few cases with drinks and some desserts and Mexican snacks. We would definitely go back.

    This was my first time here. Several Mexicans told me that their food is good…read more Fajitas: I have never previously gotten fajitas without some lettuce and pico de gallo on the side. This came with neither, and I had to pay $1.50 more for a small cup of pico de gallo, which tasted like it had no jalapeños in it. I had to put a lot of salt on all of the food. I don't generally add salt to my food at restaurants. I don't generally need to. Especially Mexican restaurants. The beef was good. I never had cheese melted onto my fajitas either. I think it was Oaxaca cheese, but I'm not sure. There was no cheese on the side, which I'm used to. While the meat and peppers and onions had a decent flavor after adding a lot of salt, the guacamole was just a pile of green mush. (I thought it had tomatoes and jalapeños in it, but this did not.) the refried beans were just tasteless paste. Very thin. The salsa that came with the chips in the beginning of the meal had virtually no heat, and didn't taste anything like tomatoes or red peppers, but was red. Vegetarian burrito: just disappointing. The rice and beans were stuffed inside, nothing served on the side. We are of the opinion that the food items were made fairly fresh with fresh product, but just simply had no flavor. I am usually concerned about high heat in Mexican food. No heat here. None at all. Boring AF. I recently spent a few years in Arizona, and my problem with most Mexican restaurants is that they are Americanized. Not this one. Just boring AF. And yes, worth saying that again. The TV was blaring some television show. Too loud. Service was so-so. So, we leave and decide to sit on the edge of the parking lot, retaining wall. Right by the Shell gas station. In pulls Mr. Softee. Yay!!! it was pallet saving! And I hate soft-serve.

They got rid of Stacy's mom so I went with miller lites which were on the warm side and 7 bucks a pint which is outrageous. 7 dollars for a warm miller lite is insane. My pork chops were tiny but may have been larger if they weren't cooked into dry pucks with a bone. The cold hard rice they were served with did not make them better. Our chips were cold and on the stale side. I used to get the habanero salsa with them but now they charge 4 bucks for about 2 ounces. We ordered our child chicken fingers which were absolutely disgusting I feel bad for making him eat them after trying one. It was bad enough they were unseasoned and dry but some how sorta soggy and tasting like fryer oil. He didn't eat any of the cold dry French fries and after trying one I don't blame him. My wife's opinion of her food was eh it was just what ever. Annoying us at the table was fruit flys and the menus were dirty. Unfortunately my little guy had to use the men's room and it was really disgusting stinky and loaded with flys. We opted to skip dessert. This was our favorite Mexican place and sadly we won't be back. Everything on the menu went up in price by a lot and even more if you're paying with a credit/debit card. The quality is definitely not here for the price. Also no longer on the menu is single tacos. When we arrived at dinner time it was fairly empty and it always used to be packed. Now we know why. What a major disappointment. Totally bummed and also not happy with the price of dinner. If you read my other reviews I have no problem with paying extra for great quality food but this was just over priced over cook Luke warn garbage. I actually feel like I was ripped off the food was so bad. On the bright side we had good service I would actually only give a railing of 1/2 a star but it's not an option.

I vascilated between 3 and 4 stars, so I'll instead provide a breakdown: Menu: 5 stars. The menus are easy to read, detailed, and organized. The menus aren't your standard laminated menus. They have a thick, very pretty, sturdy cover. They provide the prices for different meat options. I appreciate that many menu items can be or are gluten free. Ambience: 5 stars. I am a total sucker for supporting small, privately owned businesses! Bonus points for being immigrant/POC/Black-owned business! The restaurant was small but still with a good amount of wiggle room for dining in. Everything was clean and somewhat modern for what was described to me as "a hole in the wall" (in a good way), as I was expecting it to be a little dated and dingy. It wasn't. It was bright, cool, and airy. Service: 3-stars. service was mid. Our server didn't seem overly-excited to be there. He communicated well, but with very little friendliness or enthusiasm. I'd say, at best, his demeanor was neutral, and I can live with that, considering I've encountered a lot of times where people in the service industry act like they don't appreciate your business and are doing you a favor just by taking your order, smh. Food: 3.5 stars. Presentation was beautiful! Very well-done! Unfortunately, I found my tres moles enchiladas lacking that "pow" in taste that I love about mole. I also love my enchiladas drowned in mole sauce, especially eating with chicken breast, which can be a very mild/bland and dry meat. The chicken itself wasn't necessarily dry, but because it was chicken breast, and the feel of the dish was on the dry side. That being said, my fellow diners LOVED their dishes and said they'd come back again! Unfortunately, they don't provide reviews on Yelp, so I invite you to take my review as a grain of salt and try this restaurant out for yourself.
