We didn't try dessert because we were so full, but other table ordered them and they looked good. Food and service were both excellent. We will be back since we live only 8min away.

What a find! I was invited to a tequila tasting and I wasn't sure what to expect. The owner, Omar,…read morewas amazing and had us try some fantastic tequilas. He gave us the history of each bottle and answered all of our questions. We had several appetizers and each was amazing! The best Mexican food I have had outside of my go to spot in Harlem.

Came in on a Taco Tuesday got the special Tacos for my hubby and I got Shrimp tacos both with soft tortillas. Chips / Salsa and I added Guacamole spicy. Chips came in nice, warm, and thin crunch. Soo good! Tacos were fills up with meat, lettuce cheese and salsa on top. Nicely lay in the plate so its easy to grab. Its a really odd location but they have been establish for years. Locals come here for good food. Omar has the widest variety of Tequilas. Go at the bar and Omar will show you his best And Exceptional bottles.

I like Las Mananitas. Especially their rice and beans. Usually, I prefer black beans and rice…read morebut whatever they do to their refried beans, it's magical because I could seriously just go there and eat rice and beans. However, I like their other food as well. I've had a great chimichanga and last time I was there, I had some chicken nachos that were served on top of flour tortillas as the nacho rather than corn tortilla chips. It was very good. They have outdoor seating in nice weather and you can get a nice view of their back yard...if you're up high enough you can see a bit of the nearby lake. Service is always friendly and efficient. Even when the parking lot looks full, we've never had trouble getting a table. I think they have a good setup here...nice location, great food, reasonable prices and nice service. It isn't the fanciest place in town but it's great in my book.

Last night Saturday May 2, 2026 we planned a little party to celebrate the birthdays of two of my…read moresons. We had a reservation. Started out well, the server took drink orders, drinks were brought and we ordered the tableside guacamole for the table. The guacamole was made and two of the stone bowls were left. We had finished the chips that come with salsa when you're first seated. We asked the young man who made the guac for chips and small plates. Those never arrived. About 10 minutes later the waiter showed up to take orders and we reminded him that we were still waiting on plates n chips. We also ordered our meals. The small plates arrived a short while later, but not the chips. By this time we were ready for another round of drinks - Unfortunately the waiter (and other staff were nowhere in site). Maybe 10 minutes later the food arrived, we reminded the waiter that the chips never came, asked for salt n pepper that wasn't on the table and ordered another round of drinks. The chips never came, the drinks took about 15 minutes to arrive and 1 of the kids plates never came. We reminded the drink runner and he disappeared. 10 minutes went by and I finally went and found our server hanging out in a hallway outside the kitchen doors with other staff. The kids plate finally arrived along with the long awaited chips. We had 3 young ones with us who are normally great in a restaurant, that had begun getting restless because of the delays in being served. Well, the birthday honorees decided that ordering desert to celebrate their birthdays would prolong the lousy service agony to an unacceptable level. So, I went and tracked down the MIA server again, now hanging out by the hostess stand and asked for the check. I handed him my card immediately without reviewing the bill for fear that he'd disappear for another 15 minutes. He brought back the check for signature. I reviewed the bill which was correct. At this point, where I normally leave a cash tip 25% - 30% depending on the service, I did something I never do. I wrote in a 10% tip (not deserved) on the card and wrote a Note: Sorry but the service tonight was absolutely horrible. AITA - What would you have done? This Server ruined our celebration.

This was another place in my list to try out that I was very late to do but very happy I did…read more Quaint place with friendly staff and very good food. It's one of the few places I've found that has Tacos de Lengua on the menu AND actually serves them! They are fabulous btw. Their chips and guacamole are also amazing. My only qualm - and this is a personal preference - is that the food is a little too salty. The next time I order though I will likely ask for them to do no salt/no extra salt and see if there is a difference. Other than that it's a great staple for the area.

2025 Update:…read more Service (5): Absolutely lovely. The person womanning the register, dining room and phone lines was killing it and so charming + friendly all around despite wearing her many hats. We had a takeout order that was timed exactly as she said it would be. Takeout Packaging (1): This is the type of takeout packaging that makes me self flagellate and resolve never to do this again.... Most items came in polystyrene -- e.g. non recyclable, non compostable styrofoam. And each of the sopes we received in our order (three per order) came packaged separately in small containers, which was wildly inefficient. (Why not have all three sopes in an order come in a single container at least?) Some of the order was packaged in aluminum and clear plastic containers, which usually recycle if clean. Food (3): Let's start with the good: The kitchen still uses beautiful, ripe avocados. And stewed animal proteins were commendably slow cooked and tender. But the "sopes" were made with very thick cut, flat, hard, dry, packaged tortillas, not the boat-like kind with a ridge, shaped by hand from masa, freshly fried. We are spoiled by our access to the latter, so Tio's current version was quite disappointing. In years past, I remember the sopes being made from masa harina and griddled at least, if not deep fried, not just reheated from a package. Sauces used for enchiladas and other dishes were quite clearly straight from a can or a jar. Food was serviceable for our hurried meal, but not something we feel like we need to do again, especially given how far Latin and South American cuisines have come in these parts over the last 10+ years. There are inflationary pressures everywhere, and Tio's portion sizes remain enormous, so it makes sense that quality would have to concede some ground. It has clearly done so since our last try. If something has to give, my personal druthers would be for portion sizes to be smaller and/or prices to reflect inflation, rather than experience this kind of reduction in quality. This kitchen has the ability to do so much better.

What a hidden gem! Delicious, gourmet cooking. You can tell the chef really cares about the flavor…read more The tamales here are so flavorful, not dry, come with fresh homemade tortillas, and only $4 (as of Spring 2026). They're wrapped in a sort of banana leaf, rather than corn husk, and well-seasoned and almost gelatinous. The tacos were obviously great, as well as an extremely generous-portioned sope. They had chicharrones and yucca as a special, which was reasonably priced and very good. Also, the beef soup is extremely flavorful, tender, and well-balanced. You can easily get a filling meal here for $10. Many times we came, the place was full, and mostly by Spanish-speaking patrons (always a very good sign). I drive 35 minutes to come here when I'm craving Mexican food, and everyone I've introduced to this place also comes back. I love this restaurant, and am very impressed with the food (and prices!). There's also a cute bodega attached to it, with some cool stuff stocked and available. Go here, and try the tamales! Maybe even order take out, as well, before you get home and regret not doing so
