    Comes w/ fajitas
    Davina W.

    My husband and I came here on a suggestion of drinks from my daughter and sister, plus it was near our hotel. There are a few Mexican restaurants in the area and it seemed like most of them had a wait but we were able to be seated right away. The layout is open and roomy which is good for large parties. They have a wide variety of food and drinks on the menu so you won't be disappointed. As you wait for your order they bring you chips and salsa. I ordered the Azteca salad and my husband ordered steak fajitas with a drink called trash can. The salad was very plentiful but IMO was dry. Not sure if that's because it contained a lot of chicken which is a good thing but if not cooked just right chicken can get dry. I did add salsa to it but that didn't help much. The salad doesn't come with sour cream and it's 2.50 to add a very small cup. The steak fajitas came out blazing hot (picture Chili's x 5). The only complaint my husband had was there was only 3 tortillas which means you run out before you finish your meal. I'm sure you can order extras but it was too late. He did enjoy his drink. The service was good, could have been better but it was pretty busy and I feel our server did the best she could. Would we return? It's possible can't rule them out.

    Walked in, seated right away. Tiffany was our fantabulous server Huge menu Loads of gluten free items clearly marked! I ate so well, I needed a nap :) The flavors were absolutely delicious, nothing overly seasoned. I had the chicken choro and oh my word, from first to last bite it was one of the best Mexican meals I've had in forever! The non gf people loved their food as well. Unique salad and chicken quesadilla 3 dinners and drinks all under 55$ wow! Huge portions, yummy, and my glass of tea was never empty. Tiffany suggested my dinner, was so friendly and quick.

    Vickie was great. The food was awesome. We'll definitely return for the street tacos.

    Chimichangas Dinner, Miami Vice, burrito Burrito la Ruleta in the back.

    Ate here on 6/20/23 for dinner. Seated right away. The chimichanga with shredded beef was delicious. My husband had a steak burrito and he was very happy with that. I also had a Miami Vice adult beverage and that was really good. The waiter seemed frazzled and I watched him turn in circles several times It took me asking 7 times to get a shaker of salt. He looked at my empty drink glass 4 times and I was finally able to get a drink refill. The salsa tasted like taco sauce from a taco kit. It also took asking for our check twice before we were able to pay and get out of there.

    We decided to grab a nice family lunch here to celebrate my mothers birthday. Imagine our surprise when we were greeted by Joy the Clown!! Apparently Joy is there every other Sunday with free face painting and balloons for the kids!! This little unexpected surprise was a great way to start of visit. We ordered our lunch and were delighted with how quick and attentive the staff was with our food. The food itself was just ok. Not bad, not great but just ok. If I were to return it wouldnt be for the food it would be for the atmosphere and hospitality. The staff treats their customers like family and who doesnt love that?

    Dusty moldy ceiling tiles.
    Chris P.

    What once was a new and exciting addition to E.City is slowly starting to lose it's luster. The most unsettling discrepancy was the decay of the ceiling. There are smoke trails of dust coming from every air vent. The ceiling tiles are all swollen and bowing down as if they have been soaked in water. There are clearly signs of what appears to be mold growing (see the picture). The upholstery is starting to rip and there are exposed nails holding the fabric up in a half hearted attempt to fix them. The bathrooms were on the dirtier side and the paper towel. Water tasted like treated city tap water. Ordered empanadas which looked great on the menu. What showed up looked like premade grocery store frozen empanadas that were cold in the middle... see pic. Only thing good of note was that the waitress was very nice and attentive. Very Disappointed.

By chance we were in E-City yesterday so we decided to visit our favorite restaurant in the area only to find out things have changed in the last few years. The service was the same (great) and the decor had been updated with tasteful art. The only bad changes were sadly the most important part- the food! We ordered some street tacos and asked for radishes only to be told they don't come with them (they previously had, and were something that lent authenticity to the food). The salsas that came with the tacos were also different, and not in the good way; mostly bland with a little spice- not at all how they were previously. Lastly, my son ordered his favorite cheese steak fries appetizer and we were surprised to find that the portion size had been drastically reduced. Ultimately I know that restaurant business is tough and some cost control measures have likely taken place here- but the quality of the food shouldn't dip because of that. We loved La Tiendita but after yesterday we won't be stopping by again.

    I love authentic tacos but it does not exist here. We would go to Taco Bell before we come here…read morefor tacos. Great establishment. Staff is always friendly. The building could use some improvements but it is nice and cozy. The menu compared to authentic Mexican restaurants is very different. Especially if you're from the southwest border or Hispanic. We have come here a couple times in the last couple years and it is okay. Not very flavorful and a bit bland. Large portions if you love rice and beans and salt and pepper. As for the tacos it was our first time coming here for that on taco Tuesday. We wanted to try their $1 tacos. And I must say you get what you pay for LOL It is like a taco out of a box and if you enjoy that for a $1 with no flavor come here. However you will not find flavor or options here. We ordered 12 tacos. All that was available was ground beef and shredded chicken. And it was just that with some bland cheese and lettuce on cold tortillas. So, if you're looking for authentic tacos this is not the place to explore. But if your looking for below basic and have no expectations, enjoy some salt and pepper, and saving money it's worth a shot. We were able to give our leftovers to a homeless person in the area and we then went to plaza azteca to enjoy authentic tacos for taco Tuesday.

    We have been going there well over 5 years once a month or more. Great service and great food…read more Family owned and run,and you can tell the difference. Consistently good.

We miraculously found parking right in front of the door, and when we stepped inside we all kinda gave a look to each other. The inside does not match the advertising. There were flies EVERYWHERE, the place looked a little unkept, there was a bar full of drunks, including one that kept hitting on my underage niece. There was another drunk that literally came up to our table and held us hostage with his droning on and on about who knows what. We were trying to be polite but also giving him many hints that we didn't enjoy the conversation. When the food FINALLY came it was honestly very unappealing. Nothing looked like what we thought it would. One of the burritos was stuffed with fries to an excessive degree. And my burrito was actually soggy... and not by any delicious juices coming from the food. It honestly felt as though it had gotten wet before it was used to wrap up the ingredients. We all barely ate the food and were happy to get out of there. The waitress we had was actually very nice... she was the only appealing thing about the entire experience.

You had patrons feeling very uneasy and then others left. They complained they were short staffed but two men had to talk the lady into leaving the building before the cops were called. We waited in line patiently, the employees were not rude but there are only so many excuses you can give over certain things. The area was nasty, nothing was clean, food everywhere. One employee knocked over drinks in the little fridge in front of the cash register and left it like that. Facial hair was not covered during prep. I did appreciate the man washing his hands before going back to work but I did not appreciate them pulling an already dirty bowl from under the table to mix up a "fresh" batch of white rice. We ordered our food to my better judgment. I should have asked my spouse to just pick another place but we were already at the front when I finally took notice of the back. We decided to go outside and dine since the inside was in so much disarray. Jokes on us, it was just as dirty. I used napkins to cover the tables so my items wouldn't get dirty. He ate, I tried but couldn't finish knowing everything that I saw. If I had seen the reviews for this place before trying it I would never have come. Stay away for your own health. I tried to take more photos but my spouse asked for me to stop so here are the ones I was able to get.
