    A tiny place,  always packed!
    Shelley C.

    Wow! This place is busy! It is a small place, with all the tables full, then there are people lined against the wall, waiting for go orders, not counting drive thru! The menu is spread across the wall. Unfortunately, in order for me to see it, I had to stand next to a table of people eating. I apologized and told them it was my first time. They just waved and kept chomping. I settled on steak burrito for hubby and Al pastor nachos for me. Never had that kind before. I had to wait against the wall, but there was a support beam right there, which made it awkward for waitresses to go around it, me and the others. We managed. The guy running the waitresses, money and general traffic back there was magnificent. He was quick with your order, pronto with orders coming back and the flow was smooth, orderly and refreshingly, no bad moods over it! When I got home, we settled in to eat. The food was still warm, meaning it was well wrapped. Tasty, delicious, not too expensive. We will go again soon!

    From the outside, it seems like it would be really, really small inside, but it's actually bigger than it seems. And you know what.. Same with the tacos! If you're used to small tacos, then you're in for a treat. The tacos here are a good size with lots of meat. Hubs and I ordered 4 tacos each but we couldn't finish it because we got full. This place is a little far for us, but we were definitely happy to make the drive.

    Al Pastor Super Nachos!

    Got the Al Pastor nachos for lunch since it's super close to my internship work campus. They were AWESOME!! I was recommended by yelp to try it and I sure am glad I did! I'll be bringing my friends here for a few of our group lunches

    Treating these two the the best Mexican food!!!

    This place never disappoints! They have won multiple awards for best tacos and best Mexican food in Wichita. Truly my favorite restaurant in Wichita for authentic Mexican food.

    Wichita is not lacking for fantastic Mexican restaurants, and if it was just a matter of the al pastor, carnitas, and barbacoa meeting snuff, I could leave my five stars, finish this sentence, and move on to the next review. But there's a little more to Pollo Express. Aside the standard taco fillings I've already listed, they offer a "transmission" taco, a discada-like filling of chorizo, peppers, and onions that gets its name from it being just a little bit greasy. It's a little messy and a lot of indulgence, but I liked being able to try something different. The menu claims fame for the tortas, and while the crispy pork tenderloin in the hefty torta de lomo is indeed pleasurable, the notoriety of Pollo Express is found in their eponymous chicken. Rotisserie chicken is common among street vendors in Mexico, but it's not often seen in the Mexican restaurants around here. The bird is slathered in a paste of guajillo chiles and left to rotate on a spit until ready for consumption; all you need to complement the vibrant earthiness of the chiles on this tender and juicy bird is some tortillas and some salsa. At first I was a little disappointed that the rotisserie chicken wasn't incorporated into more of the menu - I would have loved to see it as an option for a taco or torta. I eventually came around to the idea of it being its own little corner of the large menu - something that is easy to overlook, but rewarding for those who are paying attention.

    This was my second time coming…read more This restaurant is undeniably beautiful inside. You can tell a lot of detail went into every spot in this place, even in the bathrooms. The bar is beautiful as well. It's nice Wichita finally got a Tapas spot. The food here is hit or miss each time. That's why I gave 4 stars not 5. Their chips and dips are amazing. Their street tacos each time were too try and mushy rice. Their other items like ceviche and calamari were great each time. So there are some items that over shine others. The star of the show here is their drinks. I can drink so many of their house margaritas. They are the best I've had in Wichita. Their happy hour is 2 dollars off cocktails, open to 6pm. Me and my girlfriends came here for some Tapas and drinks around 230pm and it was a great time. It wasn't busy and it was nice and peaceful and we had amazing drinks and service.

    My sister and I dined at the bar. The atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing. This isn't my first…read moretime eating at iTzcali and probably won't be my last. The customer service has always been good. Drinks: I had the Sugar Skull and my sister had the Old Fashioned. The Sugar Skull is pretty good. Didn't taste watered down or like it had straight juice. The Old Fashioned was different than the usual recipe, due to the maple but it was cool. I love an Old Fashioned but I can't stay I'd order this one. Food: I had the nachos minus the chorizo and my sister had the shrimp chimichanga. The nachos are delicious. The steak is well seasoned and the dish overall is just chefs kiss. My sister enjoyed the shrimp chimichanga. It was a huge portion. She also ordered the elote (not pictured) it was good.
