Got the Masa Bowl with Barbacoa. Although it tasted like it was made with real ingredients, the flavor was really lacking for me. Much less flavorful than other authentic Mexican food places. Maybe some of their other offerings are better. But the real shocker was the $5 mexican glass bottle coke. Thats outrageous, no other place I have been to charges that much. $4 would already be a lot to pay for it. My nearby convenience store sells them for $2.99. The most they should be charging for it is $3.50 which would be closer to the competition. They did throw in some free chips with salsa because I said it was my firs time there, the salsa tasted great!
Perfection. So many gluten free options. Specifically they offer a corn based tortilla (gluten free) for quesadillas which is a pretty rare find in my experience. The chicken tinga quesadilla was way beyond my expectations, the best quesadilla I’ve ever had, easily. The appetizer of plantains was exceptional, perfectly cooked and not even a hint of greasiness. And the two gentlemen running the front were cheerful, accommodating and a pleasure to be around. This place is too notch.
Margaritas are available! Easy outdoor seating. Fresh ingredients. Local vibes. Welcoming atmosphere. Putting this on repeat. Just ask them to shake that drink with ice. It gets warm outside 🙃
This restaurant serves some of the finest Mexican food you'll find in the Valley, or anywhere. If you've ever had a torta (sandwich) in Oaxaca, you know how fabulous they can be. Well, this place makes those fabulous tortas and a bunch of other great Mexican dishes. It's not a fancy restaurant (plain wooden tables, paper napkins, seat yourself, not much decor) but comfortable enough to enjoy really fine Mexican food. Great for families too. The kind of quality place that deserves our support.
For those who enjoy authentic Mexican food, please note that this restaurant serves "Mexican-inspired" fare, but does not offer authentic Mexican dishes with familiar flavors or preparation. The food is freshly made, with quality ingredients, and priced a bit high. But it is not Mexican food. Once we flipped our mental switch and realized we were eating Americanized dishes with Mexican names, we enjoyed our meal just fine. At first, though, we were pretty puzzled. For example, Masa pairs watered-down sour cream with their fried plantains instead of the more traditional crema. This isn't a bad combo, but it isn't a standard Mexican pairing. Likewise, the spices in many of the familiar Mexican dishes are just...off. Essentials are missing well beyond the lack of asiento and savory chili pep
