I've been here for lunch a few times but this last visit sealed the deal for me. I ordered the Fuego taco salad with asada the other day and it was probably the best taco salad I've ever had. So good and packed with delicious ingredients. I got their chipotle ranch on the side. Outstanding. The service is top notch too. I've previously had their chile relleno burrito with rice and beans and it was delicious as well. It isn't a huge space so it can get busy around lunch. It is very cozy though. They have great deals on tacos on Tuesday and Thursday. I'll have to try that out next time. Highly recommended!

The recommendation did not lead us astray. We had the Green Chile burrito and chicken quesadilla meals, along with an array of their salsas/toppings.

We also ordered a side of chips and they gave us plenty! Everything was delicious. You definitely get your money's worth!

First off, the owner is who served me both times and is very friendly. The first time I got the pork chile verde burrito, which was excellent. Today I got a chili relleno and enchilada combo plate.

I'll definitely make this one of my regular spots.

We found it to be a fairly large bustling restaurant with wait staff. Adriana does come and take your order. She successfully scared us of the mole which she said she doesn't like and didn't know the ingredients of (probably from a jar or mix). We ended up getting a Chimichanga and the Enchiladas, both with green sauce (lard free and vegetarian). Beans are lard free and vegetarian too. The chimichanga was fried really well. We got vegetables for the fillings. Everything was delicious and we would go back if in the area. I'd probably get the chimichanga with the green sauce on the side next time to keep it crunchy as I eat it. I wish it was a bit more clear what all the vegan options she has available are (when asked she said she can make whatever we want but it would be helpful to know what all the options are that they have for vegan sauces / fillings etc ) but we really liked what we got and were happy with our visit! The green chili sauce was delicious. I believe she also suggested vegan potato tacos. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Tortillas were sad and under cooked on the comal. I usually love bean dip and their free bean dip was even disappointing. It tasted old and they use cheap nasty chorizo with pre shredded American cheese as a top. Ambiance is cool but because food seriously sucks, we'd never return. The one star is for the decent service. If you want my opinion on good Mexican food, go to El Campesino food truck (SERIOUSLY, go now. It's delicious and authentic) or Tortas de Fuego.
