The men behind the counter and doing the cooking are friendly and you can tell they take pride in their food. This time in we split the floutas which were very good. But it was the quesabirria that was the star! It was made with braised beef, melted cheese, chopped onions and cilantro with a homemade consomé to dip it in. And I'm still thinking about it. Quick, simple and delicious- don't miss it. (Although it is called a bar & grill there is no bar)

The margaritas were so tasty (I had a few of the spiced mango). The beers were nice and cold. We enjoyed the chips and salsa and also ordered the queso (cheese) dip. My friend got the chicken wings of all things and he really enjoyed them. I enjoyed the carnitas street tacos with rice and beans. So delicious.

Also tried a few pupusas (jalepeno and cheese and revueltas). Tacos were great - light, easy to hold, soft but not soggy, meats were tender and seasoned well, and garnishes were fresh and finely chopped. Pupusas were a tad oilier than I hoped, but generally really good. I also ordered horchata. Probably wouldn't get again. The drink was too sweet and had chocolate plus another flavor (tasted like peanut butter) mixed in, which took away from the typical flavor. Dinner for 3 came out to ~$60 inclusive of tip. Would definitely recommend and I will be back!

My husband and I were vendors at an artisan market that was held here at the Kingston Collection.

I couldn't stop eating the nachos even after I was full! I also didn't want to share the burrito with my husband as it was fantastic. I would definitely make the trip to come get food from here again! :)

My wife and I have been meaning to stop by this restaurant…read more We swung by for a late lunch and were thrilled with our food. One ordered from the "Specials" list. 1 Curry Goat, and one item from the Entree list, Waakye (wha'-Che). The goat was tender, flavorful with atypical spice combination relative to the typical homogeneous food outlet offerings in the quiet corner of CT and Webster, MA area. The Waakye is a combination plate of Ghanaian beef stew, a great rice, spaghetti(!) a hard boiled egg (whole), and a small portion of firmly fried, bone-in piece of fish! We both appreciated the big flavor profile of both dishes. This does not mean they were peppery "hot". (If you can enjoy medium store-bought salsa, you will love these dishes.) We are looking forward to trying the many other dishes in the near future. We can't speak to the eclectic inclusion of the Mexican side of their menu...not yet any way. The two women working were helpful and generous with their time. The tables and chairs are simple, pedestrian and sufficient. You are there to enjoy and experience the food and the understated welcome of the busy women doing everything fresh.

A lot of places double up on the tortillas for this reason, but no need here. We ordered the birria, carnitas, and cabeza tacos, chicken sopes, beans, rice, sweet plantains, sweet rice pudding and horchata. Standouts were the carnitas and cabeza for me - very delicious in their simplicity, the meat is seasoned and cooked to perfection. Birria was also very good but overhyped IMO (novelty factor). The chicken sopes were way bigger than expected, could easily be a meal on its own and the masa tart was pretty good. Our table liked the green sauce to add zip to the food. It was very sunny when we went, so it was blinding and hot to be sitting inside, hope they install a shade at some point. They seem to only serve in takeout containers, so eating at a table requires getting a bit creative for a "plate" etc. There's a small lot behind the building and street parking is pretty easy. I will definitely be returning to try the lengua and more things next time!

Have had this place on my list to try and it is a must! SO delicious. I cannot wait to go again and…read moretry more! We got the carne asade and chicken taco especial, the hibiscus tea, and churros! The tacos were delish! I usually opt for flour tortillas, however they make their corn tortillas and they are the soft ones, so I wanted to try it as it comes - I was not disappointed! The tacos come in 4 to a meal, so we so split two and two. Naturally, I prefer steak but both the chicken and steak were phenomenal. Lots of flavor!! The taco especial, has onions and cilantro and a nice lime squeeze on the side that is a nice flavor burst and addition. If you want the lettuce, cheese, tomato, etc. then you want the americano version. The tacos come with two sauces, both of which were spicy but you can tell were made/fresh! But that hibiscus tea - wow!! So delish! It was sweet and flavorful and a sip of freshness!! The churros were also incredible. Not that I didn't think I'd like the dulce de leche filling but it was um-yes yum! The outside was nice and crispy obv coated in cinnamon and sugar and then the inside was soft and doughy but not raw dough, just perfection. The dipping sauce was excellent too - they could provide a little bit more of it but we made it work. Anyways, highly recommend. It's fresh and authentic- clearly homemade with good ingredients!! Can't wait to try more from the menu!

Their tacos are the best that I have had in the area and I've gone to at least half a dozen of local Mexican restaurants looking for tacos similar to ones I've had in Mexico. I love supporting family-owned businesses so this will definitely in my lunch and/or dinner rotation. I went here TWICE in 72 hours - lengua, al pastor, and chicken tacos plus flan dessert are all amazing! Their habanero hot sauce is definitely spicy so I would recommend my spice lovers to try it, you won't be disappointed.

The kitchen appears to be proudly women-run, and the energy shows in both the food and the pace of service. One tip: be specific when you order. We've learned to clearly ask for meat and cheese only in a quesadilla (otherwise it may arrive looking more like a burrito), and to request salsas on the side if that's your preference. Once you know that, the experience is smooth with fast service and consistently delicious food.
