Since Cut the Crab shut down and got replaced El Rodeo we've been wanting to try it out. We were…read moresurprised that the layout stayed the same. We showed up right before the lunch rush and got seated pretty promptly. We were offered drinks and our food orders were taken pretty promptly which was great. The service was incredible and it was a full team effort as we had several different people helping us out. The food was delicious. The cowboy chicken was grilled perfectly and my wife's burrito was very filling. We're sad it took us this long to experience El Rodeo but we definitely plan to be back as their menu looked incredible.

Playa Azul -- Where Food Meets Genuine Human Connection As…read moresoon as we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and friendliness by Mauricio while we bobbed our heads to Hall and Oates' "Maneater" playing in the background -- followed by "Funky Little Beat" by Connie. We knew immediately this was our vibe. We sat down and read through the menu. A lot of dishes I wasn't familiar with, so naturally I defaulted to what I knew -- quesadilla de camarón. My wife did the smart thing and asked for recommendations. Mauricio suggested three dishes and she chose the last one- I think it was because something about tequila . When it was my turn, I proudly placed my order. Without missing a beat, Mauricio looked at me and said, "Bro, you can get that anywhere -- you should try this." He began describing the dish, then pointed to his dad sitting patiently at a corner table. "That's his invention." No more words needed. I said sold. Our dishes arrived and we immediately moved them to the center of the table so we could share both. I had the seafood fajitas -- shrimp, fish, fajita vegetables, and the most tender, flavorful pulpo I've ever had. All the seafood was cooked perfectly: tender but not falling apart. But the octopus and the sauce were something special. Chef Jose came to check on us and I told him about the pulpo. His eyes lit up as he began describing his preparation process -- then he said, "You want to see?" He walked me right into his kitchen and showed me the octopus being prepared. That moment alone was worth the visit. By the time we returned to our table, the restaurant had started to fill up. We continued enjoying our food, including the handmade soft tortillas that came with my dish -- don't sleep on those. Chef Jose stopped by again, sharing more stories, more passion, more of himself. Before we even finished eating, we were already planning our next visit for happy hour and dinner with the family. This is a perfect example of what Will Guidara calls Unreasonable Hospitality -- unexpected, personalized, and genuinely human. Mauricio and Chef Jose aren't just running a restaurant. They're sharing something they love, and you feel it in every bite and every interaction. Thank you, Mauricio and Jose. We'll be back.

A neat family-owned spot with authentic tasting Mexican seafood dishes! My mom and I shared two…read moredishes and a free chips and salsa. The Fajitas de Mariscos came with tons of seafood in a savory sauce. It came with rice w/corn and beans. We also had the Camarones Costa Azul which was jumbo shrimp wrapped with bacon in a savory tomato sauce + cheese. Definitely a heavy dish but pretty tasty! I really liked the homemade tortillas here; they were so soft and went well with the shrimp and fajitas. Prices are in the higher end but portions are also huge! There seemed to be just a husband and wife when we dined. They were very welcoming and helpful with explaining the menu. Place was very spacious with lots of seating.

Five shrimp, with the shells still on them, dagnab it. Peeling them off got all the sauce off the shrimp and onto my fingers.

My family used to enjoy coming here, but lately the quality has really slipped. The carnitas, which…read moreused to be a highlight, now taste like something you'd pick up pre-made from a local big-box warehouse store--bland, lacking that slow-cooked depth and crispiness you expect from good carnitas. It's a noticeable downgrade. The homemade flavor is gone... On top of that, the portions have definitely gotten smaller. For the same price, you're getting less food and less flavor, which makes it hard to justify coming back. There are too many good taquerias in the area to settle for something that feels like it's cutting corners. Hoping they turn things around, but for now, it's disappointing.

We try to get there around 11:45am before the lunch rush. I love that they don't charge extra for specialty meat and have a wide range of selection. My favorites are lengua, cabaza, buche, and asada. Make sure to order from the cashier, and not the kiosks- for some reason the kiosks charges more for specialty meat. If you want a quick taco fix and you're around the area, this is the place to try!

Next time, I'll have to order some salsa for my main dish since I forgot to ask since I do like some heat on my dish. Besides that, I'd come back here again. Alambre & Chimichangas perfectly cooked

I have only ever left 5-star reviews because I love supporting small businesses, but after tonight,…read morewe will no longer be supporting this spot. We have been loyal regulars here for a long time, coming at least once a week. Honestly, the main reason I kept coming back and always tipped well, even when the staff was sometimes just whatever, is because the guy who owns it is always so nice, friendly, and works incredibly hard. Unfortunately, his wife handled things tonight, and the service was absolutely horrible. We ordered a steak burrito, and let me tell you, the meat was completely inedible. It was just pure gristle in every single bite, to the point where we couldn't even chew it and only ate about a fourth of it. They also forgot to give us salsa with our chips. When we called to let them know about the meat, his wife started chopping up meat on her end, arguing with me, and insisting the food was perfectly fine and fresh. My wife, who is visibly 8 months pregnant, actually walked the burrito back into the restaurant just to show her the gristle. Because the lady said to bring it back show her. Instead of making it right or offering a simple switch for a chicken burrito like my wife had asked, she completely lacked empathy and flat-out said, "I can't remake your burrito." I called back to ask what could be done to fix this, and she started telling me to stop yelling at her. I wasn't yelling at all, my other baby was screaming in the background because my wife left the house to try and get the food fixed. She then hung up the phone on me. Apparently, she told my wife she even consulted her husband before refusing to fix it. It is so unfortunate that a business we supported weekly would treat regulars this way, but they have officially lost customers for life. The owner also said she was going to reply to me on here. Waiting for an explanation of how you turned away an 8 month pregnant lady?

I finally tried Los Carnalitos yesterday! I remember seeing this place from FeedMeiMei's video (I…read morethink if I remember correctly). I've had this place bookmarked for a year now, and I went there yesterday at 10am to get some food to go. I was greeted by a lady there. She was friendly and complimented my dress. I got a Carne Asada Taco, Al Pastor Taco, and a Gringa. I asked if they had chips and salsa, but she said they do have salsa but no chips. That's different. I've never been to a Mexican spot that didn't have chips. The place looked clean and vibrant. There were plenty of parking in the plaza. There were plenty of seating as well. Maybe it was still early so no customers were there when I was there. After waiting for about 5 mins, she brought me my bag of food. She complimented my look and bid a good day. So sweet & nice! I enjoyed the food when I got home. Everything was very yummy! The meats along with the veggies were all super tasty. The green salsa had a nice kick to it. The cucumber (?) slices were refreshing. I think I found a new fave Mexican spot! Just need to get some chips from a store! Lol :)
