Customer Reviews
This is our second visit. The first experience was positive. The only drawback was a minor wait.This time around, the wait was unusually prolonged. My husband's pozole was satisfactory, according to him, but I was disappointed with my mole. The rice was served cold, and the chicken appeared to have been boiled, with the sauce poured over it. Unfortunately, the sauce was overwhelmingly spicy, which overpowered the flavors of chocolate and other typical ingredients in this dish.Although I appreciate spicy cuisine, I couldn't finish the dish. I placed an order for tacos to go, asking for 2 grilled chicken tacos and 2 beef in separate containers, as they were intended for 2 separate people. Regrettably, they were all packaged together.Upon asking if the items could be separated, the cook, a la
The birria tacos are really good. The chicken tamales are amazing. The Torta Cubana is great if you substitute the hot dog in it for another type of meat. The pork tamales tasted alright but it was kinda dry. The atmosphere is amazing and is the real draw.
This has been our “go-to” restaurant for Mexican cuisine since they opened for business! The food is always good… great portions, awesome flavor, and prepared and cooked with pride, authenticity and delicious! The prices are reasonable and the menu selection is plentiful! I believe this is primarily operated by the family, so you’re not getting anything out on your table that is simply microwaved! That being said, be prepared for a little longer wait compared to other “commercialized” or “chain” Mexican restaurant. I promise though, you will be very pleased with your order!
The service was great. The margaritas weren't as strong as I'm use to. The chili Verde Burrito was absolutely delicious. My sister said her pastor burrito was really good. The chicken on my nephews nachos were rather dry, like they made a big batch and it was sitting under a heat lamp for awhile. The rice and beans were very flavorful. I haven't had rice this good since I was in Mexico. The guacamole was delicious and the Horchata was mmm mmm good lol. I will definitely come back next time I'm up here!
This place is well-staffed everytime I've gone, and I keep going back for the tripa!!! Never in my life have I tasted tripa frita so perfectly cooked...the texture is perfectly crisp and meaty and the flavor is good! I recommend the tacos and gorditas. Their cheese and crema is fresh. Diablo burrito is okay. The salsas are not very spicy. The tlacoyo is tasty...different than what I had in DF (Mexico City), but very delicious and cooked fresh. Service is okay, place is clean and spacious and ambiance is calm and family-friendly.
