    two plates of food
    Kiran S.

    This is an inviting and casual place to eat. Very kid friendly. Meals are affordable. I liked everything I tried. It was on the heavy side. I would of liked a little more flavour to some of the items. The hot sauces are good. The best Mexican I had was actually in Vienna-blew my mind. This was more average flavours, but still delicious and I would come back again.

    Best authentic Mexican food in Leamington! The Beef Fajitas and Chicken Enchiladas were AMAZING!

    Delicious! I've been missing legitimate tacos like from taco trucks (from the west coast) and these are the closest tacos I've found. Wish they would have come with a lime but meh, that's just being overly picky. The pastor taco had the best seasoning and even pineapple for the sweetness (definitely authentic tasting) and the chorizo was perfection. The two cups of verde salsa definitely need more of that salsa. Two tacos was plenty for me. My husband got a chorizo torta with fries and a soda. The fries were SO GOOD! Can't wait to come back and bring our friends!

    Authentic Mexican restaurant. We had a chicken fajita, a cow tongue (lengua) taco and a beef burrito. The chicken fajita ($15) was pretty good. The cast iron plate came out sizzling hot. There were chunks of chicken meat, generous amount of sauteed onion and red pepper. The flavour was just right. The re-fried bean was very, very good: richly flavoured, smooth and undiluted. The corn tortillas were all right but could be softer. The rice tasted all right but was too mushy. The cow tongue taco ($2.25) was fresh and delicately flavoured. The meat's natural taste came through nicely. Lots of fresh cilantro added to the aroma. Loved it. The double soft tortillas tasted average/good/all right. The portion was snack sized. One will likely need 3 tacos to make a meal. The beef burrito ($5) was okay. The re-fried bean and the rice was good, but the beef was ground beef. I was hoping for beef strips. No such luck (meh). The portion was just right as a grab and go lunch. I paired it up with a taco appetizer, and it was a good portioned dinner for me. The seating area was clean, spacious and welcoming. The ambience feels like a restaurant. There was a salsa corner that customers selected their sauces. All of them were fresh and spicy. I tried and enjoyed all of them. The operation was self-served style. Customers ordered at counter, paid, then picked up food at counter when food was called. We were not sure if they expected tips, but we tipped anyway. The rating is not 5 stars perfection, but at this price point, it is damn close. If only they fix the mushy rice and improve the tortillas ......

    Five tacos: chicken on top and steak on right (meh). Carne asada, chorizo, lengue (amazing).

    Not fancy, but authentic tacos that pack some flavour for cheap! Make sure you try their pork (carne Asada), chorizo, and lengue. They're the most flavourful, moist and delicious! With onion and cilantro and ho

    Carne asada tacos with sour cream.

    This place is legit. You're not going to get Tex Mex style but the real stuff. The salsa and chunky guac is super yummy a is their rice.

    Lively vibe, funky fusion menu. Stopped by and tried a bunch of stuff…read more - Quinoa Mexi-Bowl: My favourite dish of the meal. Light and fresh, with the additional steak adding a heartiness to it. - Okonomiyaki Brussel Sprouts: Would never have thought of this combo but it definitely worked, with the okonomiyaki sauce adding a sweet kick to the sprouts. The pork belly on it was indulgent. - Bao Buns: Got the taiwanese pork and thai chicken baos. Of the two, the pork was tastier. The protein-to-bao ratio could be better. - Tacos: Pretty tasty though small. Space is compact, decor is lively. Prices are a tad high for the portion sizes, but that's how things are these days. Service was pretty quick and friendly. Overall, a pretty good spot for a fun meal.

We ended up walking down the street just to have them catch up and said we could dine in. There's no dining in the restaurant but there's a few tables on the sidewalk. It was taco Tuesday so we ordered three tacos. Carne asada. Chipotle chicken. Jackfruit pibil. The tortilla was two layered and slightly crispy around the edges while warm and soft on the inside. The sauces (mango, mild, and spicy) were flavourful. Fries supreme. Wow. It was literally indescribable. All the flavours complemented each other without being overwhelming. Any fries supreme you ever had, this fries supreme was next level. Churros. I felt it was slightly over cooked, but it's churros so it was still tasty. Big shoutout to the waitress who stayed late for us!! Many thanks!! Would 100% return for tacos and fries supreme.

Salad lol shredded lettuce no dressing & the bottom of a tomato that you cut off & throw away. Rice dry & cold. Refried beans were hot. We told the waitress we were never here before asked about the sauces she was very nice explaining the different levels of heat. I don't understand the high stars I'll never go back & never recommend this restaurant. Now maybe we ordered the wrong thing I don't know. I can't imagine the rest of their food being any better. Our bill was $82.00 with 2 pops included. The inside was okay everything was really old & worn out inside not much ambiance to mention. We are not from the area & not familiar with the restaurants this one had a high rating that's why we chose it.

    A family member recommended this place, so I popped in one days for lunch…read more This place is authentic Mexican cuisine, not an American Tex Mex kinda place. There were 8 tables of migrant workers, so the place had to have food similar to home (there were several tables with food that I couldn't recognize, and I've toured the Yucatan several times). Regardless, service was quick. Food ordered and out in 20 minutes. I ordered the birria Tacos....they were excellent. The accompying broth was different than others I've had, but it was extremely flavourful and did the job. The Tacos were stuffed with meat (open face). My dining companion ordered a 3 taco combo..1 chorizo, 1 pasteur and 1 pork. The chorizo was a star, the other two, while good, had huge pieces of fat in them...kinda turned him off. But he did say he'd order them again. I'll definitely go back.
