The place is a located in a shopping center and it's a Spanish bakery, store and taco shop. You can buy all your Spanish household and food items here! The taco shop is in the corner of the store. The man was nice and working by himself in the kitchen. The food was well seasoned and home made. We'll absolutely be back!

Stopped by for lunch since I found out there was a "restaurant" inside the establishment. The…read morebusiness is actually a little grocery store focused on Latin products. There's a fresh meat counter in the back "carniceria" with a pretty great selection of meats both marinated and not. To the left of the meat counter is the restaurant. There was a little language barrier and we had no direction on how to order or where to order but we made it happen. Being from California I am a little familiar with some Spanish words and most foods so I knew what I wanted. On one side of the menu there are also English descriptions of the dish. See placed our order with the nice lady at the register and found ourselves a seat. The restaurant had a constant flow of customers shell we were there so we felt great about what we were going to get. We ordered the quesabirrias, carnita tacos, and a barbacoa burrito. As well as an orange Fanta bottle in Mexico. (That real sugar and fancy glass bottle makes a difference) The carnita tacos were ready first and OMGSHH they had me doing a little happy dance. The carnita was juicy, tender, salty, with all the wonderful bits of fat and pork skin. Add to that the homemade tortillas, anddd then the homemade salsas. I still think of those tacos... Second the quesabirrias came out. I'm not big on ordering trending foods but since this is a dish I make regularly for my family I like to try other's take on it. The tacos were made with the homemade tortillas. This time double wrapped to prevent them from breaking apart. Honestly this dish was just okay for me. Loved the tortillas but the barbacoa, though tender, was actually pretty dry. There also wasn't a crazy amount of cheese so that didn't make a difference. The tacos definitely needed dipping in the consume. Which was also okay. Not the worst I've had but not the best. Didn't receive the dried arbor pepper but I did add some of the chili oil they had and it was a great addition. I love spicy foods and it was perfect for me. Not too spicy and adds a little smokiness. But we warned it may be too spicy for most. The burrito was probably the most disappointing. It was yummy though filled with mostly rice and very little protein. My husband got it with barbacoa which after having the birria tacos we realized was dry so that didn't help. What did help were to add some of all the great sauces they had. Next time we will try it with another protein and probably stay away from the barbacoa even though it's usually one of our favorites. Of course we also grabbed some chicharron before we left because they looked amazing. We usually have a local place we liked to get ours but they looked great at this location we couldn't help ourselves. I can't wait to go back to try more of their entrées and my husband their ceviche!

Come for the papusas!…read more Came by for lunch to try some menu items thinking it'll be quick as advertised. I would say the foods are pretty authentic though I would question the "fast". I had a 45 min break and the food took a good 30 minutes. We got the chicharron and cheese pupusas. Ordered 1 and ended up with 4, there's a small language barrier, pork tamales, and a burrito plate. I would probably only go back for the papusas. They were hot and fresh. Came with the pickled veges and sauce. Burrito was good and came covered with yummy cheese but left a bit to be desired. Located in a gas station you place your order at the counter and pay at the gas station register. There's one table but it was covered with merchandise. The gas station interior has always been very tight so definitely something they need to work on. You wouldn't be able to eat in comfortably.

These were as good as I found that speedy burrito, but they were a couple of price points higher, which I have to consider. I tend to run the Speedy burrito as their tacos are under four bucks and a bit more selection, but this is a great place, family, friendly, would probably sit and eat in here next time. Highly recommend.!!!!

As it being our first time, we were a little confused if we needed to wait for someone to seat us or not. There was no workers around..Then I saw a sign pointing to where we needed to order. (No table service, Smokey Gringo is counter service). We ordered 2 kids meal chicken quesadillas, 4 tacos, 2 empanadas, a side of corn, and 2 additional fountain drinks. My total was about $80. The tacos were ok, they were lacking flavor. When I picked up my carne asada taco there was so much liquid dripping onto my tray, but sadly it tasted a little overcooked. The empanadas were huge but dry, even though there was sauce drizzled all over it. The chips were nice and crispy. ** Street parking is available. There was also a small parking lot across the street. Smokey Gringo offers both outdoor and indoor seating. We choose to sit inside. Their prices are pretty high for the little amount of food you get.

This is the second time I've come through the drive-thru and my order has been completely wrong. Items are either missing, rung up incorrectly, or I'm handed an entirely different order. Each time, I've had to stop and check every single item before leaving because there's no confidence that the order is accurate. As a customer using the drive-thru for convenience, this defeats the purpose. It turns what should be a quick stop into a stressful process of double-checking everything before pulling away. I hope the team can improve their order accuracy because the repeated mistakes make it difficult to rely on this location.

I was trying to be polite and my wife was too, but she sent hers back! Fried Beef Burritos are supposed to be fried. Not mushy. Guacamole and refried beans are not supposed to be baby food! I NEVER send food back or complain, but my wife did, let alone do food reviews. However, I'm here to say this place needs to be shut down. Both of us got sick. Don't eat here. If it could be 0, it would be, just because I paid for some of it.

You know what they say fresh fish dies not smell. Decor has not changed. Started with a sangria and bread service. So many places are charging for bread but if you're going to charge me it better be good. Yall know I will pay for good food and service. When the bread came out there was 5 pieces of some sort of loaf bread that had been warmed. The menu said ciabatta bread and when I pointed it out to the waitress she said they didn't have it anymore. I said that's the only reason we ordered it was because it was a ciabatta bread. She just said sorry. Yall know if you follow my reviews I used to own a restaurant and it's misrepresented on the menu, What else is misrepresented? We ordered the wedge to share which was ok. I ordered the cod and my husband ordered the sirloin top cap and asked for it between med rare and med. My small piece of cod was overcooked, rice cold, plantains bitter and tortilla was hard and tasteless. My husbands sirloin was well and we think they mixed up the orders and it was TOUGH. Chewy and no salt. My cod was tasteless. We finished quickly to get out of there. 140.00 for a waste of a Saturday night. Could go anywhere better. We will no longer be back.
