I wasn't very hungry so I wanted something that wasn't a huge portion. I figured a shrimp dish would be a lighter option so I ordered the Camarones Coco. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to what came with it. I was there for the shrimp! It came with a chipotle pineapple sauce that was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the coconut shrimp. My husband ordered the East Coast Burrito, and it was huge! It was packed with steak and came with a large side salad. He could only finish about half of the burrito. He enjoyed it though. I also ordered a Piña Colada. I don't often see restaurants that serve them so I had to try one. I could've done without the whipped cream but the drink itself was really good. I honestly couldn't taste the alcohol... but it definitely caught up with me. LOL The only downside for me is the size of the Tamarindo Agua Fresca. I wish they served it in a large cup like Los Juanes does. Overall, I think the food here is really good and I'm honestly surprised I don't hear more people talking about this place.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't busy at all. We got our food ordered, I go the Pollo a la crema. Everything came out quickly, and though it was not noted, my order came with (3) soft flour tortillas. Food was very tasty, and I actually had enough remaining for a lunch the next day. Pricing felt a little on the high side for a Mexican restaurant, but that just seems to be the case across the board. I'd definitely go back again, and would recommend to others. We enjoyed the food, the service, and atmosphere.

But what I was served today may well change that order, or even if I visit this spot again! What I was given was not carnitas, but grey colored, shredded pork, not the dark brown chunks with a nice outside crust I'd enjoyed in the past! Obviously, something has changed in the kitchen, and not for the better as it relates to this dish. I'm not saying this was a bad item, but it damn sure wasn't the same, and it wasn't worth $18.99.

Four tacos total, two each Carnitas and Al Pastor. Both style true to type and very good with diced onions and cilantro with a wedge of lime. Good flavor and textures. A decent meal.

I arrived around 11:30am and was one of the first in, but by the time I left, it was very busy. I was seated at a table by the window and given some chips and salsa and a menu. I ended up getting a medium house margarita and pulled chicken quesadilla which comes with rice and beans and gaucamole salad. The food came out fast and was hot, fresh, and tasty. I got the smaller (10") size and still only ate half of it. I also ended up adding a single shrimp taco with jalapeno, pico, and cheese on a soft corn tortilla. The fresh jalapenos added a great kick and it was a generous serving for a single taco. The margarita hit the spot too, and for $6.50, can't beat that price. Service was fast and friendly - one of the waitstaff asked me if this was my first time and how I had heard of the place. It has a good authentic vibe to it, lots of bright colors and decor. I would definitely recommend checking it out! @azfitfoodfun

One of the main reasons I frequent here so often and why I drive out of my way to eat here is…read morebecause of the drive thru!!! This is so convenient and a nice option to have when you don't want fast food! I call ahead when I'm about 10min away, place my order, pull up to the window and boom. Done. Easy. I have eaten inside a few times and think the staff is great, I just love take out and love that I don't have to get out of my car. I almost always order the nachos because they are the first place I've ever ordered them to-go and receive the cheese in a cup on the side! I don't know why this isn't the golden standard for other Mexican restaurants. This allows you to drive home and not have soggy nachos by the time you're ready to eat!! Anyways, is the food set apart or out of this world? Not necessarily. Nothing that stands out to me, and has me like "wow" but the staff is awesome and it's always consistently good!

Prior to arriving, I called the restaurant saying that we had a group of 8 coming in for lunch…read morearound 11:40. When we arrived, they had our table ready and all our menus laid out. I greatly appreciated that. The chips were a good quality and light, but sturdy. The salsa was refreshing and more of a mild heat level. The cheese dip was also quite good. I ordered the #12 lunch order with steak and I added grilled onions in the burrito. I got a side of rice. Overall I was very happy with my meal. The steak was a bit lower quality, but still tasted fine. Adding the grilled onions made it all even better. I wish they did not have such a huge dollop of sour cream as that took away from the cheese on top. The rice was enjoyable and in line with a lot of other Mexican restaurants. For my drink, I had a sweet tea. A personal preference is I think there was way too much ice, but the sweet tea was pretty average. My biggest pet peeve was there were no prices listed on the menu. That made no sense to me. We had gone there on a work lunch and we usually have to stay within a certain budget and I was unable to get any sense on the cost of what I was ordering. I would come back here again and it is definitely popular as the lunch hour was bumping.
