Customer Reviews
Ordered a pork tamale, was given chicken. Went back in and requested a pork tamale and was told that chicken is now pork. I sucked it up and thought it might be good, it was not. On top of bad food, Terrible service 0/10. There’s never any customers and now i know why.
Are this hours accurate? It’s been 2 times I came to this location for breakfast and they are closed. Please update your hours so the customers don't drive all the way to your establishment for nothing.
This is my first time at the new location since Carmen's. So I started safe with the California burrito and an order of three Taco delinguas . The tacos were delicious soft and fresh corn tortillas with a good portion of meat well seasoned. The salsas we're also very good ,neither too hot, but the fresh tomato taste is very prominent, honestly incredible The layers it has. The California burrito was mostly potato and corn but I also think maybe my work boots and to-go order implied that I'd be eating this on the go so maybe it was out of consideration to kind of keep it tidy ,which if so I appreciate. Overall $45 was quite a price to not include rice or beans I did buy a soda as well lime jaritos* which was cold and refreshing as always. It was very good, but authentic great Latin/Spanish
I'm really glad I stopped to eat at this unassuming Hispanic spot. I can get tacos and burritos at home, you can't throw a rock without hitting a 'mexican' restaurant even if the population is mostly from Puerto Rico. But here they're more of a Pan Americas restaurant than the standard tex mex. They have a fairly extensive menu that includes Honduran, Panamanian, and Salvadorian along with their Mexican dishes. Half of the space is set up as a to go hot bar, similar to Moe's or Chipotle. I decided to stay and eat in the dine in section. I originally came for the Papusas, which I have not had since I moved from Florida. There's a Salvadorian restaurant in Tallahassee that makes what has become my standard bearer for Papusas (and beans and rice). This place measures up and then some.
Okay I love this place and come here all the time.. tonight was so disappointing. It was only around 540/6 when I placed my order. The service is always nice I order to go all of the time. I ordered flauta meal and papusas. The rice is usually so fluffy it was under cooked.. the flautas were over cooked!! To my surprise I had dry hard chicken . The papusas were delicious as usual!
