We had 3 great meals here. The service was excellent as well…read more I only got pictures of one of the meals, mine, the molcajete. The other people in our party had the Chili Relleno, which they said was excellent. The Montezuma molcajete was excellent. It was a combination of chicken beef pork and shrimp. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, not dry and overcooked like is often the case when the chef is not paying attention. The other meats were also perfectly cooked, and the seasonings were awesome, with lots of flavor, Molcajete is something you don't often see in Mexican restaurants, especially in Bismarck. This is a true authentic Mexican restaurant. Not some Americanized Mexican restaurant with ground beef. I know Facebook and other sites have given this place low reviews for poor service, long waits, and substandard, cold food. That was not the case for us. They may have turned the corner on that since this is a fairly new restaurant. We did come here on a Wednesday night. We found that they were not overly busy and had plenty of staff to meet their guests' expectations. I would rank this place as number one or two for authentic Mexican restaurants in the Bismarck Mandan area. Charras in Bismarck might be one and la cantina might be the second best, but then again la cantina might be number one. I will definitely be back.

Clearly this place is paying for its good reviews and aren't from actual customer

Stopped in here for lunch as we dropped my daughter off for college. The place was busy, which is…read morealways a good sign. Upon entry, there is a very strong odor of cleaner. We were greeted and seated right away, and someone followed up with chips and salsa. The service was prompt, and our server checked in on us several times. I forgot to take pictures, but our food looked exactly like the photos already on here. I had the tamale, burrito, and enchilada combo. The tamale was outstanding; however, aside from the flour vs corn tortilla, the other two were pretty much the same. This combo did not come with rice and beans, which I feel is a staple, and I probably would have ordered something else had I known. My daughter had the street tacos, which were good but pretty ordinary. They come with a very hot sauce on the side, and I would have preferred something milder. They are pretty bland otherwise. Also, each meal only comes with one basket of chips and salsa. There is a charge for refills. I gave it four stars because while there were some drawbacks, I would come back for the tamales and maybe try something else. The menu is very large and has a lot of variety.

This is my first time ever leaving a complaint for any establishment, but tonight's experience was…read moregenuinely disappointing. The service was poor from the start. I had difficulty getting served, and at one point I had to get my own drink. My food was brought out in a box instead of being properly served at the table, which was frustrating and felt careless. To make matters worse, the enchiladas were hard as a rock and not enjoyable at all. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially considering I was expecting a much higher standard. I hope management takes this seriously and improves both service and food quality going forward. Was not even satisfying enough for 1 star. I give it a -1.

We ordered menudo, the taco plate, and the tamale plate. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was big-empty-mall-by-ourselves. The tacos and tamales were pretty good. The menudo was lukewarm and a bit bland. Solid spot, although a little more expensive than I expected.

The prices are very reasonable, for a large quantity of food. The downside was the food itself. First, there were no menu items that signal authentic Mexican food (e.g., mole, menudo, chilaquiles, etc.). So it's very Americanized Mexican food. The chicken in my enchilada and RL's chimichanga was dry. The spices in the chimichanga and the enchiladas were almost nonexistent. I'm not always a fan of food that is muy caliente, but I like bland even less. Overall, it was just okay, but again, reasonably priced.

Husband had the taco/burrito combo and I enjoyed the huevos rancheros. Both were very good and we went home with leftovers. The staff was very accommodating letting us in the back door so we could get the dogs on the patio. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We will be back to try more. Only recommendation to the chef is less salt. We both felt the food was a bit over salted.

I liked those tortillas, they reminded me of tortillas caseros that I've had before in Cali and Mexico. The tacos were a reasonable price and size was very appropriate for the cost. They have a salsa bar with pickled onions, pickled peppers, lemons and a variety of salsas. Meat was just a little dry, but still not completely over. I had two al pastor and 1 asada taco. I definitely will be back for tacos and to try the burritos! The tamales, I wasn't a fan of. I usually don't like vegetables (bell peppers ) in my tamales. The pork meat was good, it was filling, the ends of the tamales were a bit hard/dry.
