They offer a lot of different meats. To name a few. Tripa, rib eye, al pastor, arrachera, mahi-mahi fish, cabeza, chorizo, chicken, and beef tongue. I'm definitely coming back to try something new.

Absolutely amazing experience here! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and…read morethe staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The service truly stood out--everyone was patient, helpful, and made sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. The food was beyond delicious. You can tell everything is made fresh and with quality ingredients. Every bite was full of flavor, and the portions were great for the price. What I appreciated most is how inclusive the menu is. As someone who follows a vegan lifestyle, it can sometimes be difficult to find places with good options--but this spot really delivered. They offer a variety of vegan choices that are not just an afterthought, but actually well-prepared and full of flavor. It's rare to find a place that gets both food and service this right. Whether you're vegan or not, there's something here for everyone to enjoy. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family. If you're thinking about trying it, don't hesitate--you won't be disappointed!

The meat is high quality and nicely cooked. Rice and beans were very good as well. The thing we missed was more flavor and heat!! I'd love to get a little heat from jalapenos or spices, but it was not there. The salsa was not too hot either. We're not heat freaks by any means, but we do love some spice in our Mexican food. The burrito also had rice in it so my side of rice was probably not needed. All in all the food is good and high quality. What I'd love to have is more flavor and heat!!

Crazy how expensive these tacos are and how little they actually give you. It's not even good. lol. Everything is super bland with no real flavor.

We came in around 8pm on a Friday night and were able to enjoy some $3 drinks, and delicious tacos. We thought we were there late but tons of folks joined in shortly after. I tried the aqua frescas, and their orange dirty soda. The aquas were delightful, they have a Jamaica and a pina. The orange dirty soda wasn't my favorite but it was good. I got the steak tacos because they are my favorite, they are tender and full of flavor. While they have a salsa bar you don't even need the salsas because they are just that great!

They are changing name to El Poblanito per ads on the pizza box. Will they serve only Mexican food? Will they still continue to serve custom pizza? Anyhow, decided to check out their menu. They had the lunch special 10" pizza with 2 custom toppings with soda for $9.99. Even though it's 4pm, their online portal still let you order it so I did. I think they should continue this glitch because i would be that customer that continues to order this way. The check out process is through Slice, and they generated a text message and email receipt. Don't be surprised to see a "support local fee", which I'm perfectly happy to pay extra for. They use Apple Pay also, so pretty convenient. Text tells you when the order will be ready and you get another text for when it's ready for pick up. The pizza is pretty standard and generic. Everything tasted fresh and what you would expect. The ham is very thin, likely just sandwich deli cuts. Pineapple chunks are large and intact, though I probably would've preferred the pineapple to be more burnt than just warmed but it retained juice well when it's not over cooked. Nothing too special about the cheese, not high-grade mozzarella just regular ones. Dough is not high gluten so it's not very chewy, which is fine for the kids, the prefer it not too much chew. The pizza is not too greasy so the bottom is not too charred. The crust is not ultra thin, so about half an inch. Overall very standard fast food pizza you'd expect. It's pretty standard for the price for a lunch special too. I think having this lunch special option is pretty attractive, because I would probably continue to order ham/pineapple and will also try Italian beef/giardiniera combos.

I finally found the right time to try this place, being in the mood for a dine-in Mexican dinner…read more It's a nice place with pleasant servers, and kudos to the guy who filled my water 3 times. I was torn between a chicken mole dinner or just good old tacos. I opted for the tacos Al pastor with rice and beans. I have had Al pastor at many, many places, and it's been interesting to see people's takes on the recipes. These were, hands down, the best I've had anywhere. The meat was charred nicely, yet tender. The marinade/sauce had the perfect balance between the sweetness of the pineapple and the counterbalance of the lime, cilantro, and onion. I was so proud of my selection, that I ordered some to-go for my daughter to try. I also had a delicious strawberry margarita and finished off with a tres leches dessert. Everything was superb! I'll be back for that mole someday, and will also try their Taco Tuesday. Judging from my food, as well as the presentations of others choices that I noticed, I believe their chef is seriously talented and creative.

It was mouthwatering good. I also ordered the steak taco, but after having the brisket, I wanted more brisket. It was a bit expensive for a taco, but it was really good.

Flavorful Mexican food with a casual vibe!!…read more I recently ate at Los Azares Mexican Grill and had a really good experience. The food was tasty and well seasoned, especially the tacos and grilled items. Everything came out fresh, and the portions were filling without being too heavy. The restaurant has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that works well for both quick meals and sit-down dining. Service was friendly and attentive, though it slowed down a bit when it got busy. Overall, Los Azares Mexican Grill is a solid spot for good Mexican food at a fair price. With slightly faster service during peak hours, it would easily be a favorite.
