Anyway, overall very nice people and staff. The food, I have to say, was fine. I think the complementary chips and salsa were fine. The crispy taco was also ok. I didn't care for the enchiladas as the cheese wasn't very melty and both green and red sauces could've used some depth to them. Portion sizes are pretty decent, and we had leftovers, but we were visiting from out of town, so we couldn't really take it with. Oh yeah, I'm still left with the million $ question - why do they have an Italian named Mexican place.

The tortilla and toppings were creamy, flavorful, and added to the overall burrito. The chicken could have been more seasoned, but was overall a great combo with salsa or any hot sauce. I also got the gordita (with chicharron) and I faced a similar experience with the meat. However, the overall taste was great. The customer service was definitely the best part of the entire experience. Our server was kind, funny, and was extremely accommodating during our visit. I was with a large group and he efficiently took our orders, instantly gave us our drinks, and offered free refills as well. The customer service definitely made this a 5 star experience.

I didn't know what to think at first because when you enter the establishment you walk through a mini market, but then you are seated at a nicely decorated Mexican restaurant.

One was cauliflower, another fried fish and another was shrimp and we also got chips and guac and a house-made marg. Everything was delightful! My friends all greatly enjoy their meals as well. Definitely recommend this place!

Came on a Sunday afternoon to a nearly empty restaurant and got seated immediately. Ordered horchata and enchiladas verdes and ny girlfriend ordered the enmoladas. The horchata was nice, though it wasn't fresh or homemade. I was mixed on the enchiladas verdes, since the rice, beans, and chicken tasted great. My only gripe was that the salsa verde was lacking in flavor and acidity I expect from a salsa. I got to taste the enmoladas and the sauce for that seems to be their signature. Delicious and complex. My girlfriend was very happy with her meal. I was also pleased to see that you can pre-order a dozen tamales a day ahead any time (not just seasonally) I will come back again, especially to pick up more tamales rojas and to try some other dishes

The meat quality and flavor for both the pastor and asada were incredible. They put a lot of meat! Warm and not dry tortillas too. They gave me 4 sauces without even asking for my 3 tacos.

Another standout was the pastor meat was saucy and seemed like there was a hint of sweetness maybe from pineapple? If so, 10/10 because pineapple is always a perfect pairing with pastor tacos but a lot of places don't use it. If you like tacos come here!!! They also have bakery as well.
