I proceeded to order two asada tacos, which were excessively oily and unappetizing. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this place and would advise others to avoid it at all costs.

It's right next door to Rescue's and behind Keith-A-Que and pretty much in the same parking lot as Piggly Wiggly (I recommend accessing it from the Piggly Wiggly parking lot). I've ridden by it several times and did not notice it for a long time. I was expecting some dingy hole-in-the-wall, but it was actually a very nice little restaurant. The tables were nice and nothing looked really beat up. It is a small family business and they clearly take pride in what they are doing. They are not open from about 2 PM to 5 PM daily. The chips and salsa was pretty standard fare and better than many Mexican restaurants. I didn't taste any cilantro or anything like that in the salsa. I know some people find it repugnant. The cheese dip was pretty good. I heard that they used to put jalapenos in it. I could only imagine large nacho jalapenos in it and I actually thought that sounded pretty good. I ordered the Chimichanga Dinner (ground beef). It didn't take very long to get my meal and I uploaded a picture of it. It was plated pretty well I think. The chimichanga itself was very good. They certainly spice their beef and it had some heat to it, but it had flavor as well. The shell was crunchy and delicious and the Mexican rice underneath paired well with the meat. Some people may want to have some extra sour cream with their meal to counter the extra heat. The guacamole was pretty standard and reminded me of other restaurants. The guacamole was not the best I've ever had, but it was still good. The beans didn't really feel like they were good for the meal, but I'm not a huge refried bean fan and never find them impressive. I would have much rather had more rice and more guacamole salad. The service was excellent, quick and friendly.

Just be aware of your surroundings, which is the case for anywhere you go. Upon entry, the decor is so fun and inviting. It's not a very big restaurant, but seating is laid out perfectly. Saturday night, packed, but we were seated immediately in a clean and cozy booth. All the employees there knocked customer service outta the park. Our server: Angel, was THE BEST! Very attentive, quick, and so friendly. I've visited most of the Mexican restaurants in Albany, and they have the best chicken chimichangas I've had so far. No complaints on prices. Two chimichangas, rice&beans, guac, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes for like $11. Of course free chips and salsa which was amazing. This is my new go to for Mexican cuisine. And I live across town within a half mile of many others. With that said; My only complaint is they're not located on my side of town. This place is a win for Albany and I hope they stay just as they are.

It's a clever (or perhaps just pragmatic) setup; that market itself is a gem, stocked with an impressive array of authentic Spanish and Mexican goods. We'll definitely return for provisions alone. Inside the dining room, the space is spotless if somewhat dated--simple, no-frills decor that prioritizes function over flair. Our server was cheerful and energetic, a bright presence, though service proved inconsistent; she largely vanished after taking our order, leaving us to wait an inexplicable 30-plus minutes for food despite only two other tables occupied. When plates finally arrived, the portions were strikingly generous, almost comically so for the price point. We began with the complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa carried decent freshness and a mild kick, but it wanted for seasoning--more salt, a bolder hit of garlic and cumin would have elevated it from passable to memorable. No refills appeared, which felt stingy given the "free" promise. The horchata, however, shone: creamy, deeply flavored with cinnamon and vanilla notes, refreshingly cool and well-balanced--one of the better versions I've encountered recently. The carnitas dinner plate delivered on volume: a mountain of moist, crisped pork that had all the textural appeal one hopes for--tender interior, satisfying crunch on the edges--yet it arrived curiously underseasoned, lacking the salty, savory depth that should define the dish. Homemade refried beans were a highlight: smooth, flavorful, clearly made in-house with real care. The Mexican rice held good seasoning too, though it verged on dry. Steak fajitas followed the same pattern--giant heaps tender strips of beef and soft, well-cooked vegetables in generous heaps, but again, flavor felt muted, as if the seasoning hand had been unusually light. It's puzzling: everything executed competently, meats tender, produce fresh, yet the palate kept searching for that missing punch of spice, acid, or salt. No where else in COLGA gives this much steak, so very grateful. The shrimp cocktail appetizer (small portion) justified its price through quality ingredients--clean, plump shrimp in a classic tomato-based sauce--but it was straightforward, nothing transcendent. The queso fundido with chorizo fared far better: authentic, house-made chorizo with real spice and depth, melded into creamy, stretchy queso that felt genuinely homemade and deeply satisfying. Desserts redeemed much of the meal. The tres leches cake was textbook--moist without being soggy, richly soaked in the three milks, properly sweet and authentic in texture. The chocoflan, though, was the standout: flawless layering, silky flan with just the right caramel note, dense chocolate cake beneath, executed with evident skill and genuine flavor. In the end, this place offers undeniable value through abundance and some authentic touches (those beans, the queso, the desserts), alongside a market worth the trip alone. But the persistent lack of seasoning across the savory dishes left the experience feeling curiously flat. It's hard to muster enthusiasm for a return meal when so much potential goes unseasoned. Still, another visit to explore different menu items isn't out of the question--perhaps the kitchen's bolder preparations will hit the mark. For now, it's a solid neighborhood option for quantity and certain homemade elements, but one that needs more confidence behind the seasoning to truly impress.
