I’ve had El Jalapeño multiple times, usually get it delivered with Uber Eats. The food has never disappointed me. I live pretty close, I thought, let me pick it up this time. Honestly wish I didn’t because of how rude the women at the counter were. There’s a reason this beautifully decorated restaurant was sitting completely empty at 7pm, on a Friday night. Choose someone else to be behind the counter, customer service & gratitude go a long way; I will no longer be supporting this business
The El Pastor Taco was yum. The Asada Taco the beef was too well done. The blistered Jalapeño had the right bite. I really liked the salsa roja, a little more picante than the green one. The interior of the restaurant is colourful and bright.would definitely go back and try rest of the menu.

Bad service, I just asked to the server to make me a onion salad to my style: red onions, oil, lemon and salt for the mojarra ( tilapia fish ) and she came angry and took out our menus and told us to leave, I came to Longhorn Steak house and I am enjoying my steak. I was there on Sunday 02/15/2023 around 5:20 pm. Please don’t go there!!!!
Ordered doordash. Genuinely some awesome mexican food. I'm from Los Angeles and it reminds me of the food back home. Will order again!! The Birria is top notch.
