We have had a lot of Mexican food on both sides of the border. their fried beans is #1. Spicy Salsas wow, slaps you , yes from the first bite, it's unbelievable they are here in Anchorage.

Yes the menu will be a bit challenging and they may disappear after serving you.. ;) but it's necessary for what they deliver. If they were in NY or CA, they will be minting, But of all places Anchorage gets this Treasure. Loved the food, the spice, the flavor and the freshness. Caring friendly staff. Loved it. Good luck guys. Keep up the good work.

I had been meaning to give Salsa Oaxaqueña a try for years! Finally, I made it over. I tried the…read morespicy chicken mole and got a side of chips with salad. I was so disappointed! While the mole sauce was delicious, the chicken thighs I received were so small and bony, my rice lacked flavor and the beans were very soupy. My chips were like the little broken pieces at the bottom of the bag making it hard to scoop any decent amount of salsa into them. For almost $30/plate I was anticipating more protein, bolder flavors and better quality. I want to give them another chance, but sometimes first impressions are lasting impressions. Service was friendly but waitstaff were busy so not as attentive. Ambiance is what you'd expect from a hole in the wall.

The fiancé and I finished a long hike and decided to reward ourselves with Mexican food. We came to…read moreXalos based on the excellent Yelp reviews (but really, the pics of birria tacos). I was expecting something more hole-in-the-wall (Mountain View has changed so much), but Xalos is an open space with lots of seating and a big menu. I couldn't decide on what to eat but went with the pork carnitas plate. Fiancé went with the birria tacos and we shared some guac and chips. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. The pork on mine was very tender and juicy and there was something about the flour tortilla that was different but very good. I seasoned it with their spiciest hot sauce (I could handle on its own, but accidentally ate a jalapeño right after...yikes). I honestly could have inhaled the whole plate but saved some for later. Fiancé is somewhat of a birria connoisseur, and while these weren't his favorite he enjoyed them. Xalos was a great find and good value for the price (a little over $50 for the two entrees and appetizer). I'd love to try their tacos on our next visit.

They're also pricy. Like $60 ish dollars for 6 pancita tacos and a side of rice. This is still my favorite rice of all time though so paying a premium for good food is worth it. Fortunately for my husband whom chipotles are too spicy for, they did put the sauce on the side.

I was happy to see that the menu here is more like the Northern Lights location than the 4th Avenue location. Mainly, they have the Southwest tacos here. But they were out of No Woman, No Cryo. That beer is a pretty big reason I choose this restaurant. On this visit, I tried a new salsa. Went with the molcajete, and it was tasty. Not a bit of salty. Full of flavor. Here's the rub: Chips and salsa are not complimentary at any Serranos. I always get them because the salsa is so good. But the chips are .... not great. And my tacos came out so fast, I didn't get much time to eat them. So I had a ton left. So I took them home. Cause, well 8 bucks. And, I made nachos with them. Weird thing happened. Once heated up, they tasted WAY better. I think Serranos is missing it with their chips.

While I live within walking distance of the OG, foodcart location, and probably won't be visiting this one very often: I am so proud of them for finally have a brick and mortar location! I know it's something they've been working hard on for a while now. This is my favorite type of restaurant, one that is near-mythical in how hard it is to find: it's actually a secret BBQ joint. What do I mean? I mean it's a place that cooks meats with care, low-and-slow, for the purpose of making amazing tacos and burritos. More places like this, please!

There is a limited variety of drinks available outside of the soda, but the signage and wall of taps say beer is coming soon. I will say that the Mineragua sparkling water is quite refreshing. Maybe even better than *gasp* Topo Chico. The chips and salsa were good. But either the salsa I received isn't the spicy salsa, or their spicy salsa isn't spicy. But the tomato forward, slightly chunky salsa is quite tasty. So listen...that first bite is going to be magic as soon as the smoke touches your nostrils. The tastebuds will simply confirm the superior flavor milliseconds later.
