Every time I have eaten here in the last 5 years I have become terribly ill, once the food hit my taste buds, straight to the ladies room. My allergy?? MSG I'm only one of many persons who have an allergy to MSG. I spoke to manager & he assured me NONE was used...So I went back 3 times, & each time a spoonful of food hit my taste buds I was terribly ill with vomiting . So if you have sensitive taste buds, be careful. I myself as a consumer can't recommend this place ‍

A Delicious Stop After the Farmer's Market!…read more Stopped by Mas Bella after the farmer's market and had such a great meal! We started with three drinks: the Tullum Bloom, Strawberry Margarita, and Strawberry Lemon Drop. All three were delightfully fruity and refreshing, making it hard to pick a favorite! For food, we ordered the birria bao buns, shrimp bao bun, chile relleno, crispy beef taco with refried beans and rice, and camarones with refried beans and soft tortillas. The birria bao bun was my absolute favorite! The mini bao is packed with flavorful birria, and I absolutely loved the consommé they serve alongside it for dipping. It's such a fun combination, and that consommé takes the bao to another level. I also really enjoyed that they make their salsas in-house. They served both a verde and a roasted red salsa with the buns, and both were delicious. The chile relleno was another standout. That melted, cheesy goodness inside was everything you want from a chile relleno! The crispy beef taco was an unexpected winner. It was served with what seemed to be the same delicious birria-style beef, so it was instantly a favorite. The crispy shell paired perfectly with the tender, flavorful meat. The camarones with soft tortillas were also really good. The shrimp were well seasoned, and the soft tortillas made them perfect for building little tacos.

Since we arrived later in the evening, the lights were dimmed and our table was lit with a small table light, which created such a perfect, mellow, and intimate atmosphere. They also have a beautiful open bar, and there was a gentleman taking photos throughout the evening. We were even given the option to purchase the photo, which was such a fun touch! Now for the food... WOW! Everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered the **Asada Tacos**, and they were HUGE and packed with flavorful, tender meat. They came with rice and beans, and every bite was so satisfying. My date ordered the **Tri-Tip aguachile dish**, and I honestly don't know how to describe the amount of flavor in every bite! The steak was incredibly tender and flavorful--it practically melted in my mouth. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was enjoyable from beginning to end. I truly have nothing but good things to say about **Ay Mi Pa!** I would definitely recommend it for a family dinner, a date night, a couples' night out, or even just hanging out with friends.

The burrito was OK, but there is/was a hint of sweetness from somewhere, maybe the sauce? not sure! Anyhow, just as in 2020, I just longed for some regular traditional sauces/condiments for a pretty good burrito. I would give 2 stars for the food. The other star is for the staff, a very nice lady took the order, made change and brought the food to my table. The people working here seem to be enjoying themselves. Ambiance? A very unique spot, decorated by and for people under the influence?? Maybe, maybe not. But there was a lot of effort gone to making this taco spot different. I may try in another 6 years, maybe I bring my own sauces,

Comfortable seating.

My tacos were missing the generous portions I've come to expect. It honestly seemed like there was only a couple of tablespoons of meat left, so it was split between both tacos. What I got were tiny, over-charred crumbs rather than the flavorful juicy meat I usually enjoy. The avocado topping was also about a quarter of the amount normally served. I almost couldn't see it on the second taco. I actually rolled the tacos up, and they looked more like barely filled taquitos than tacos. I'm genuinely confused about what's changed because these have always been my favorite tacos. I've given them several chances, hoping things would improve, but I think this may be my last visit.

I come to Taco #3 pretty regularly--usually once a week or at least every couple of weeks--and…read moreunfortunately, the food is always hit or miss. I usually order 3 tacos and ask for them to be made a specific way, especially the crispiness, but half the time they come out cold or not cooked the way I asked. The rice is another issue. Sometimes it tastes old or like it has been sitting around too long. I'll give credit where it's due: sometimes the food comes out good, which is why I've continued coming back. But the inconsistency is frustrating. When I'm spending around $30 for two plates, the least I expect is for the food to be fresh, hot, and cooked correctly. Side note: I was raised to appreciate the food in front of me and not throw it away just because I don't like it, especially knowing there are people out there who don't have enough to eat. So yes, I ate the food--but that doesn't mean it was good or prepared correctly. I really hope they work on their consistency. I don't mind paying for good food; I just want to know I'm getting the quality I paid for.

We tried a lot of things between 6 of us. The tripe was NOT a fave. Texture. The guys working said that the beef burrito was the best seller so I got that. It was pretty good and I got to eat the other half of it later. It was a decent size and came with a few chips with refried beans on them. I liked the included lemon. No lime though? For me, lime is best. Greatest thing is that my sensitive stomach felt fine afterwards. The salsa was good. Service was ok. The food did not take too long to come out. Points lost for not having any kind of garbage can nearby. Weird. And very limited seating but I mean, we are in a gas station parking lot. For the food, we all agreed everything needed seasoning so it could have been a lot more flavorful even if a bit more salt had been added. One said that the chorizo needed more spicy heat. Would for sure return. I had been there over 4 years ago and it was good then too. A consistent 3 star spot.
