The staff were friendly and welcoming. The interior has nice booths and is very clean my favorite part is that they have a free salsa bar and free chips. I don't really like going to a restaurant that has tacos if they don't give me free chips. Call me spoiled.

I've lived in San Diego, LA, and San Francisco--cities packed with outstanding Mexican food--and La…read moreFiesta Alteña easily ranks among the very best I've ever tried. Start with the carnitas plate and you'll understand why. You're served a generous mountain of perfectly crisp-edged, juicy meat that hits every note of texture and flavor. The Al Pastor Super Nachos are another absolute standout, loaded and full of bold, savory goodness. The tacos across the board are excellent, especially the al pastor, carnitas, and lengua--each one delivers. Add Modelo on tap and a fantastic salsa bar, and the whole experience becomes legitimately incredible. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, top-tier Mexican food.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

After a few minutes of waiting, I server came to the bar area to let us know she'll be back. She didn't come back. Two employees came out from the kitchen. One who looked like the manager asked if we'd been helped... The gentleman that eventually helped us was good, just unfortunate of the first impressions that killed the mood, so I only ordered one drink. Ordered the watermelon basil. Pretty much all ice. Very minimal flavors came through. The best thing about the drink was the garnish. Glad they gave three of them. To be honest, not worth the $45 (including tip). There wasn't good energy from the restaurant. Sadly the bar area was dead. Don't even think music was playing to get the mood up. Not sure I'll be back.

I don't remember which burger we got but I know we added avocado and bacon. we got one burger and asked to split . The burger was so good and I absolutely loved the way they split it on two separate plates instead of serving it on one, they even split the fries for us! that was probably the most considerate thing ever! Most places will serve the burger on one plate cut in half and serve the fries on one plate too. It was a small thing that made a big difference! The sweet potato fries were perfect too!

I was headed to Burger King but changed my mind when I eyed Taco Express across the parking lot. Well I spotted a large inflatable shaped as the Taco Express character waving his arm. As to wave us over. He was so darn cute. It definitely caught my attention and peaked my interest. Next thing I know I was in the drive thru looking at the menu. It was Tuesday, the special of the day was $1.50 crispy tacos. The meat choices were chicken, ground beef, and beef. I ordered four of those, a side of rice, and chips n salsa. The total with tax was $12 something. The green salsa had a spicy kickyness but without the heat. The red salsa had a lingering, bold hot spiciness. I tried it and it burned. The tacos weren't bad at all. The meats weren't greasy. The taco shells were fresh fried, without the greasiness. Also for the price I was envisioning small or mini sized tacos, but pleasantly surprised that they were regular sized. No skinny minis. Plus they didn't skimp on filling the taco with the proteins. They were topped with shredded cheese and lettuce. The person taking my drive thru order was great. Patient, helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. The order came out nicely packaged and with accurate items.

Needed a quick bite before meeting a friend for a movie, and when I saw Taco Express I had one very…read moremature thought: "Yeah... tacos." That was it. Decision made. Now here's what made it even better--this used to be a Taco Bell back in the day, so let me just say... the taco energy in this building is deeply rooted. The tortilla spirits were already working overtime before I even walked in. I stepped inside, got greeted right away, and placed my order for carne asada tacos and a drink. Simple. Efficient. Exactly what the pre-movie mission required. But here's where things got impressive... I swear the second I paid, my food was basically already waiting for me like it had somehow known I was coming. And unless I missed someone hiding in the back doing ninja-level prep work, I'm pretty sure the young lady up front was running the whole operation. She was taking my order, working the drive-thru headset, handling everything, and still keeping it smooth like it was just another regular day. That kind of hustle deserves respect. Now let's talk tacos. These carne asada tacos came out hot, flavorful, and straight-up comforting. The kind of flavor that doesn't taste like "fast food trying to be tacos"--nah, these tasted like somebody's grandma would absolutely approve. And if the food gives "abuela would nod in silence and keep cooking," that's a compliment of the highest order. Every bite hit. The meat had flavor, the tacos were put together right, and for a quick stop before a movie, this absolutely overdelivered. The place was easy, the service was fast, and the whole stop felt like one of those hidden little wins you're glad you trusted. In all, Taco Express did exactly what it needed to do... Quick. Flavorful. No nonsense. Strong taco ancestry. And honestly, if this building was once a Taco Bell and has now evolved into this... that's character development. Will I be back? Yeah... because movie plans and tacos are a dangerous combo.

The steak and enchiladas were also good, the mole on top of the enchiladas was very sweet though if you are expecting savory. 100% my favorite rice and beans side I've had at any Mexican restaurant, the black beans are seasoned exceptionally and the cilantro rice was really tasty. As usual, exceptional service and environment, part of the reason we will be returning at some point!

We were meeting a friend and they had gotten a table for us before we arrived, but it wasn't busy and there were plenty of tables available. We're glad we had a chance to try Cantina Pedregal before it changes into Nixtaco- although now having been to both you're going to have delicious food either way. The restaurant is beautiful and whoever did the interior design was so thoughtful with the furniture, colors and ambiance. It's very warm, welcoming and calming inside. A great date spot or place for a meeting. The lunch menu has a good variety of options, and is broken down into smaller bites/appetizers, salads, main plates, and then sides. It's a nice spot to share dishes so you can try more items and share the sides. We ended up getting the chips and salsa ($7) with an extra salsa ($4), Grilled Black Half Chicken ($23), and Fideo Seco ($14). Our friend got the Carne Asada Tacos ($24), Refried Beans ($12), and Red Rice ($10). The sides were shareable and needed, since the entrees came on their own. Our friend added some of the beans, rice and Fideo Seco on their tacos and our chicken did come with some tortillas to make our own tacos or eat on it's own. Everything was high quality and flavorful. The Fideo Seco was surprisingly my favorite item. It is vermicelli pasta with sofrito, chorizo and egg yolk and was very tasty. The chicken was good, but hard to eat without using your hands to get all the meat off the bones- the messy hands didn't seem to fit with the restaurant vibe but we loved the flavor and how tender the chicken was. The salsa was good and the chips were fresh, but it seemed like a lot to charge $4 for the ramekins of salsas. I would pass on chips and salsa next time. Overall it was a great vibe, high quality food and good service. Definitely more of a treat meal or great spot to impress a date or business client. For a regular chill meal it felt a bit expensive, but I think they're going for more upscale.

I had been waiting to come here for a while now so glad we made it in . We drove 40 mins just to…read moreeat here. Walking in the decor is very modern and nice . The restrooms is for everyone. You walk in and the doors close individually but u do share the space and area to wash your hands with anyone that walks in . Not bad never really seen this before . Our waiter was amazing his name was Doug he explained the menu to us . It could be a lot but he helped us . Doug was very helpful and attentive. We ordered drinks my favorite one was called Sol Dorado . I wish they had more Gin drinks I had the only Gin drink called Brissa Del Mar but ,I was not a fan . For food we ordered the Caesar salad , sweet potato which was amazing. For our main dish we ordered the cazuela (Asado De Puerco ) which is pork stew it came with handmade corn tortillas . We made some delicious tacos out of it . I had to get dessert they all sounded so good! We got the Smoked Pumpkin Tres Leches delicious. Overall, it was a different experience the food is a bit different and I'm Mexican BTW but it's from a part in Mexico called Monterey every part in Mexico has their own way of cooking . The menu its self is different you order to share . It's a little on the pricier side but the portions were a good size for sharing . I feel like for the main entree there is not that many options on there wish to see more . Overall we had a great time . Great food and ambiance.
