I had a few chips with salsa before hand. The salsa was more watery than I preferred. The enchiladas came and I began to dig in. They were alright and the flavors got better as I went on to eat more. The refried beans had the most flavor and were good for the plate. The rice had the least amount of flavor, but it all worked out. My wife didn't eat much of the nachos and said that it was missing something. Don't take this review too seriously because I love Tex-mex and this is not it. I think anyone coming here looking for good Mexican food here will enjoy it.

First all, do yourself a favor and get the KoRn, you won't be disappointed.

I work nearby and recently, I had ordered food but was unexpectedly unable to pick it up. They went above and beyond by personally delivering my order! I was honestly blown away by their kindness and generosity. This level of genuine customer service is something you don't come across often. I recommended La Birria Loca to anyone who will listen and I can't recommend them enough!

Would have been nice to get a knife. Still don't know what the limes were for. No chips and salsa like you'd usually expect. Finished eating, got up and paid. There are LOTS of really good Mexican restaurants in Aurora. I'll pick one of them next time.

After being seated, a male waiter brought us water and took our order, and that was the last time we saw him until we were paying. When our food arrived, it was delivered by a younger female staff member who then stood directly in front of us, talking over our table to people on the other side of the wall. It was extremely rude and uncomfortable. We ordered the Tampiqueña, which is our usual choice, but this time it was very disappointing. The dish arrived missing tortillas and guacamole. The enchilada tasted off, the cheese was unpleasant, and the steak was overcooked. The rice and beans were only room temperature and didn't taste right either. I ended up only eating part of the steak. I was ready to leave, but my wife wanted to give them a chance to address the issue. Unfortunately, their idea of making things right was giving us a bag of hard chips and what seemed like old guacamole to take home. In response, I chose not to leave a tip, and sadly, they've lost loyal customers. Based on this experience, I would recommend going somewhere else.

A Masterclass in Authentic Flavors and Genuine Hospitality In a culinary landscape where "fresh" is often used as a buzzword, Tziri Tacos is the real deal. From the moment you walk through the doors, it is evident that this establishment is built on a foundation of quality, passion, and a deep respect for authentic flavors. The Cuisine: The food here is nothing short of phenomenal. Every ingredient--from the vibrant, hand-pressed tortillas to the perfectly seasoned proteins--bursts with a level of freshness that is increasingly rare to find. Each bite is a thoughtful balance of texture and spice, proving that when high-quality ingredients meet expert preparation, the result is pure magic. It isn't just a meal; it's an experience that leaves you looking forward to your next visit before you've even finished your plate. The Service: What truly elevates Tziri Tacos, however, is the outstanding staff. It is clear that the team takes immense pride in their work. We were greeted with warmth and treated with a level of attentiveness that made us feel like honored guests rather than just customers. Their professionalism and genuine kindness create an atmosphere that is as welcoming as it is refined. Tziri Tacos is a gem that sets the gold standard for what a local eatery should be. If you are looking for a meal that is both heartfelt and high-end in quality, look no further. To the team at Tziri: thank you for the wonderful experience and for the obvious love you put into everything you do. We will certainly be returning soon! read more

Our party of 3 was pretty hungry after an evening of outdoor music, so we each ordered a torta--one steak, one chicken, and one chorizo. We were surprised the specialty drinks (horchata, agua de Jamaica) were also self serve. Please keep in mind that we were there with less than an hour to close, so we understood why the horchata wasn't refilled. The chips were a little stale, but the guacamole had good flavor and good consistency. The tortas had enough meat on each of them, the bread was toasted to perfection, and the flavors of each meat were delicious. There were enough toppings, but collectively, we wished there was avocado on the sandwich. Overall, we appreciated them being open, appreciated the cleanliness, and were satisfied with the sandwiches. We would eat there again if we were in the area!

Que Brava is not one of these typical cluttered family owned and operated restaurants. For sure seems organized and competent. The prices are kind of high, which is the only bad thing. Coming in here the first time we got something that wasn't expected. It's actually a pretty clean place. There's tables that actually are cleaned off between customers if you can believe that. A good thing is there's alcohol. There's some other classic beverages too. Get agua frescas. They have horchata, and there's Jamaica which is made with hibiscus. But alcohol you have to get it of course. It's about $13 for a margarita. These come in a few flavors, some interesting ones. I got the Hibiscus Margarita. This is made with Grand Marnier, hibiscus tea, lime mix, tequila, and triple sec. Great thing was it wasn't as sweet as it sounded like it would be. The prices keep people from getting more. For sure the best stuff is the food. It's got a whole vegetarian section. A lot easier to order. It's about $18 for the tacos. These are a few tacos filled with mushrooms, peppers, and zucchini. Comes with sides of rice and beans. Pretty filling. Also they have the other usual classics. There's quesadillas, tortas, and more stuff. Great place as far as taste and authentic flavors. It's closed Tuesdays. There's meaty options as well as a few things for vegans and vegetarians.
