    Birria tacos being cooked.
    Aricka L.

    Was recommended by a dear family friend to try their Sunday Pop up Stand at Los Berros Market. They start serving at 11 until the sell out at 1. Usually have two different meats. Options are $3 tacos or $3 quesadillas. Your choice of meat. There was only Birria left when we got there and a crowd. These tacos and quesadillas were legit the best I've had in a long time. We had swore to make it a weekly drive as a $6 meal can't be beat!

    Quesa Birria tacos. Homemade salsa is sooo flavorful!

    OMG! Love this place! I had a beef chimichanga and about died and went to heaven! The refried beans…read moreand cilantro lime rice was unreal too! Tortilla chips with Guac was unreal!!! Huge portions! Excellent service, friendly staff and love the vibe! We will be back! Thank you for a wonderful evening! ;)

    I had high hopes for this spot, unfortunately it quickly turned into an utter disappointment from…read morebad to worse. While exploring the nearby businesses of the hotel we were staying at, we decided to stop for an early dinner. The place looked quiet, and even though there were very few patrons, we had a short wait before being seated. (This was the first red flag) The restaurant is structured nicely with an open facing entryway to the street, allowing the sun and breeze to flow. The problem, is that it was difficult to admire the interior of the restaurant without ignoring the noticeable spiderwebs and cobwebs in the ceiling and rafters. If I can see them, then I know they can see them. They do however, have very nice indoor and outdoor patio seating, with several tv's throughout. We were served complimentary chips and salsa shortly after we were seated. The chips were light and crispy. The salsa? Awful. Very thin and runny, with absolutely no flavor. We had to have waited a good ten minutes or so before our drink order was taken. Upon taking our drink order, I also placed an order for chips & guacamole. Our waitress was friendly, but curt. After tasting the salsa I chose to play it safe and went with the chile verde enchiladas, and my wife went with the combo plate with a chicken taco and enchilada. By the time we placed our second drink order it was blatantly obvious that our waitress had completely forgotten about our order of chips and guacamole, which was confirmed when our meal arrived. I will say that the margaritas were outstanding, maybe one of the best I've had. To my surprise, the chile verde enchiladas were actually really good. Nice texture, good flavor. The rice was bland and flavorless, and I'm convinced that the black beans were straight from a can. Lacking both flavor and/or seasoning (They weren't even hot) and equally plain. My wife's meal wasn't any better. The chicken was super dry served on a sad and raw tortilla. The beans...disgusting slop. If I had any doubts about whether MY beans were canned, I had absolutely no doubt about hers. These beans were so undoubtedly canned I'm surprised they didn't still have the impression of the tin can on them. No seasoning, no flavor, and lukewarm at best. Enough is enough. I couldn't wait to pay my tab and make a swift exit.

    Staying at a campground near here and found it on yelp. Saw it was in the middle of a neighborhood…read moreand not on the main drag so I figured it was supported by locals rather than tourists. This turned out to be very true. Half the customers seemed to know each other. Anyway, the ambiance is pretty thin. Not much to look at and all the food is served in paper or styrofoam containers. Help yourself to some plastic cutlery if needed. However, the food was very tasty. Certainly above average for a basic Mexican place. I ordered the carnitas plate and a chile relleno à la carte. I like to test Mexican restaurants by trying the chile relleno. That was the best part of the meal. Took a few minutes for my order because the relleno was obviously freshly made. Very well roasted poblano with just a little bite to it. Well breaded, fried, and sauced. Carnitas were very tasty as well. Service was a bit odd as they call your number and then stand there and ask you if you want everything on it and then slap it on top in front of you.

    I eat here frequently as it is very close to home and you control what goes into your food as they…read morefix it in front of you unless it is fish or fajitas, which are done in the kitchen. They are always busy but they are fast! You can eat in or get your food to go. Prices have gone up but, not as much as other restaurants. Chips are extra and honestly, they give you so much food, you won't need them. The Chile Rellenos are really good. There's a reason this place is so busy, the locals love it!!
