Their aguas frescas taste great and the food never disappoints. Huge fan of their quinoa poblano bowl, of course their other dishes are just as savory. I've had my debatable experiences here (service wise) which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. Overall, a great place with authentic Mexican flavors! :D

I go for the mojitos alone. While I have not tried many things on the menú what I did makes me want to try more.

We ordered the Coctel de Camarón, Carne Arrachera, Horchata, and the Queso Fundido with Chorizo & Steak, and every single dish was packed with flavor. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The queso fundido was a standout, and the carne arrachera was cooked perfectly. Even the horchata was refreshing and tasted homemade. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. Between the incredible food and outstanding service, we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic, flavorful Mexican food!

Is this place under new management/employees?…read more Placing an order over the phone has become so difficult and frustrating. First off they don't take credit card over the phone only cash. Additionally the person answers the phone has you repeat yourself multiple times. It really should not so complicated I called the restaurant at 7pm to check the status of my order tonight and they said it was an additional 45 minutes after placing the order at 6:30pm. I was getting ready to drive to the restaurant and two minutes later the delivery guy rang my bell. Last week on a Saturday night we called 3x times after getting hung up on twice to place an order for fajitas. After waiting an hour, the delivery guy called to say he was outside however poor guy was given the wrong address. We ended up cancelling our order due to the lack of professionalism and poor service. At that point I didn't even want the fajitas. The food is great however the service for delivery is not good at all.

As a result, we either went to Cocina Chente or ordered from Picante Picante. The former changed owners; the former owners opened Tobala. A few months ago, my husband tried Metate and said the burrito had gotten way better. Yesterday, I decided to pick up some apps as we had main course at home. I bought the corn and Tostones; they were amazing! Very, very delicious! I'm willing to try them again, and go for a main course. Since I didn't have a main course or drinks, I don't think the review warrants 5 stars. In terms of service, it was great; I walked up to the bar and my order was taken right away. I was standing only bc I sit a lot for work; therefore, I deferred the offer to sit down. Some reviews mentioned new owners; in our experience, it seems to be in the right direction.

I got a smoothie and 2 tacos (chicken and beef) and I was very impressed.

They were not the most attentive however, and I didn't get my water refilled the entire time I was there *Pro-tip* Do not drive here, there is absolutely no parking anywhere around the place Bib Gourmand 2018 8

They consistently provide substantial portions, along with mouth-watering flavors. Their green mole and any of their tacos con todo (shout out to cochinita pibil) and any tostada w. chorizo or their chicken tinga tostadas are why I return and hope others can find their thing here and do the same.

I visited this location after having a disappointing experience at another one, so I was interested…read moreto see how it compared. This restaurant is smaller in size, which gave it a different atmosphere. Unfortunately, my family and I were seated near a television and a speaker that played music throughout our visit. At times, the music was loud enough to make conversation difficult, which took away from the overall dining experience. For my meal, I ordered the chicken and shrimp tacos. The tacos were a generous size, and the shrimp was noticeably more flavorful than the chicken. I would highly recommend using the sauce that comes with them, as it adds much-needed flavor and enhances the overall taste. While the tacos were somewhat mild on their own, they were enjoyable once paired with the sauce. The nachos and chips were a highlight of the meal. They were fresh, flavorful, and incredibly addictive. They were the type of appetizer that kept everyone reaching for more. The guacamole was decent, but it did not stand out and could have been more flavorful.

He was so attentive and polite which made the experience so much better than our last visit. The Aguas Frescas were so delicious! I had the Hibiscus (Agua de Jamaica) and my husband had an Agua de Limón (lemon). 10/10 We were delighted to have complimentary fresh chips with salsa! Not many Mexican restaurants give Chips and salsa so that was nice to have. For lunch I had the Birria Tacos, which were a little on the dry side but the consomé definitely complemented the tacos. Just wish I would've gotten my tacos with cheese and I'm sure it would of made it a whole lot better. 4/5 My husband had the special, Costillas en Adobo and it was finger licking' good! It came with a small side of rice and beans and tortillas. Watch out though it can be on the spicy side! Definitely worth a try if you can handle some spice. 4/5 Will be back soon!

It took them more an hour which is unreasonable even if the Uber eats estimate was optimistic. I am looking at the tracking and the delivery person has been stuck in the same place for a long time and that timer keeps getting longer. Not ordering from them again. Also they are OVERPRICED Jist wanted to add that this was THEIR delivery, and not Uber Eats

I usually go for pernil /pork shoulder. Don't expect Taco Bell tacos, but what you can expect is fresh ingredients and well seasoned meat. Only negative is in the winter or if the weather is bad because you're outside and no seats. But overall the service is fast and the food is great if you want a quick bite
