Instead, they cost $14 because I got lettuce and cheese on top and asked for some hot sauce. The hot sauce was $0.75. When have you ever had to pay for hot sauce at a Mexican restaurant? It was very clear that the wait staff had been told to not tell customers that they would be upcharged because the people sitting right behind us also had unexpected charges on their bill, also. We won't return because we no longer trust the business practices of the owners or managers. If they had been honest up front, we would have paid the same price and likepy gone back again, but it soured the whole experience for us.

We've been eating here for decades and the quality and care that they provide is consistent.

There's a salsa bar with chips and everything is fresh and delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Thank you to John Perez for everything you do for the community. You are a good man and we are blessed and better for knowing you!

Ambiance was pretty lively full with families and friends enjoying their time. Our server was running from the patio to the dining area where we were so the logistics of the situation for him seemed a bit hard but again he kept running past us when he could've quickly came to take our order. At least get drinks taken care of. Having worked in a restaurant as a server myself I felt kind of frustrated. We were traveling through so we just wanted to eat and get on with our drive. We end up putting our drink order and then he takes a bit longer to come to get our food order. Again zooming past us at least a few times. My mom ends up asking him for a side of some spicier salsa and he gives off a bit of attitude like saying I don't know if I can do that, in his opinion it was him being funny but it honestly rubbed me the wrong way. We already have been waiting on you and you want to be sarcastic like come on. My mom awkwardly laughed because in her innocence she didn't even realize at first he was joking. The food to my surprise came out fast. I ordered the Fagabo and it was delicious. My mom enjoyed la herradura steak. My son is always happy with shrimp, cheese and rice. My husbands order however did not come with the side of rice, beans and lettuce it claimed to have. He enjoyed his meal none the less with some tortillas. After I noticed they didn't even bring out all his food I was disappointed. We still ended up leaving a pretty good tip but I hope they change the way that they treat their guests next time. Also maybe place their servers in areas where they don't have to be running back and forth too much.

This review is for the Creative Pastry, Coffee and Kitchen part of this location, which is in the…read moresame storefront as La Michoacana. I stumbled across this very well hidden place and walked in not even knowing if they served food or if it was just an ice cream place. And man, and I glad I did. Their menu was very ambitious and outstanding with many creative twists on Mexican fare. I ordered the Barbacoa Tacos and was expecting the run of the mill quality tacos. Again, I was wrong. Way way exceeded my expectations. The tacos were prepared barbacoa style and fried in beef consomme I believe, plenty of melted cheese and well seasoned meat inside, topped with a sauce and pickled onion, with neatly prepared sides of their house made hot sauce, chopped fresh cilantro, and diced onion. The plate was artfully decorated with drops of avocado puree, with a fresh lime wedge on the side. And on top of that there was a bowl of hot beef consomme for dipping/sipping. The plate looked beautiful, and the food lived up to the presentation. Delicious, and the best tacos I've had in this area, and I've had them at a lot of places. Decor is simple, not fancy at all, and a bit odd as the restaurant shares a slice of the small storefront maybe 8 ft wide, while the La Michoacana Ice Cream business takes up the rest of the location. They even have different colored booths divided down the middle of the room. A bit strange. And the location doesn't do justice to the amazing food. They also serve breakfasts which sound fantastic. I believe they also deliver through one of the delivery services. The place is also a coffee shop and features some very nice looking pastries as well. Check out their Facebook page for latest updates to hours, menu, etc. I am definitely going back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some unique and beautifully prepared Mexican food. The owner is a culinary school graduate and it certainly shows. So surprising to find this level of quality so hidden away in such a small place shared with another business. I'm confident that once more people experience this food, the word of mouth will certainly get around.

It's definitely not the prettiest place. As other reviewers noted, it's in a gas station. Which also means it shares bathrooms with the gas station. It stretches the length of the gas station and had plenty of tables/chairs to accommodate customers while we were there. There were quite a few people who stopped in for carryout orders but also usually four tables were occupied. It's been a little while since we were there so forgive my memory on names of food. We did all enjoy our meals and were pleasantly surprised at the simplicity of the food but yet the great flavors. I had enchiladas and they were delicious!
