We had a party of seven in order a variety of dishes I had the enchiladas and tostada combo number 10. The tostada was set on top of the enchiladas and the sauce from the enchiladas cut the tostadas soggy. The enchiladas were extremely dry on the inside. Other members, my party said that there food was just average for a Mexican place. The first thing we noticed is that the salsa was very watery and lacked a lot of flavor. In my opinion, if you're in a tourist area, you need to have good food because they have so many other options to go to. The restaurant atmosphere was clean and welcoming.

There are drawings and bright colors everywhere -- on the chairs, tables, walls, even the menu. There's not a single spot without something going on. In my opinion, it's just too much. The service, without exaggeration, was just okay. As for the food, I have mixed feelings. The flavors were decent, but everything felt a bit over the top. Guacamole is one of my favorites, but here it had a strange taste. The person I was with mentioned it had cucumber (I didn't notice it myself), but it definitely wasn't to my liking. The presentation of the dishes was probably the highlight, but the flavors didn't really win me over... everything felt a bit too excessive.

Al Chile just opened in November of 2022 (according to one of the lovely family members running the operation) and is a no frills food truck operating outside a gas station. Their menu is pretty impressive - many types of tacos, as well as other options like chimichangas and quesadillas. We ordered the following tacos: pastor, asada, cochinitas (my personal fave), and birria. All were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection! There are some picnic tables nearby, or just take your food to go and enjoy in the comfort of your home. Next time we are in the area, we will absolutely be back for more!

So it's nice to have this little addition as an option. I can only speak on the carnitas, quesibrria, and birria tacos but all were really good and full of flavor. I'm from the West Coast and I've noticed it's hard to come across good authentic Mexican food. This place does not disappoint and reminds me of the street tacos from back home. It's a walk up and order at the window type of thing, they don't have tables and chairs to sit so you'll have to get it to go. The prices honestly are a little pricier than I would like to pay, $15 for three of the specialty tacos and no sides is a bit steep. But if you're in the area definitely stop by and check them out you won't be disappointed!
