I had the tacos al pastor and my husband had the combination #1 genuinely the best mexican we’ve had in fairbanks and the fastest service! our waitress (the check says Ashleigh) was so sweet and had perfect timing for her check ins at the table. even brought my husband a free fried ice cream for his birthday but could tell he was a bit embarrassed so didn’t sing :) definitely would come again for the margaritas alone

Had the Tamales, halibut tacos, and Con-queso. Tamales were mid. Definitely frozen. Halibut tacos were bland and over cooked. Hot sauce was weird. Salsa needed salt, but was fresh. Service is good. Lady was very polite and kept on top of things. Fantastic.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Brett Leasure · Aug 2025

Despite the name, there is nothing very “authentic” about this restaurant. The chips are stale, the salsa was jarred or canned, the tortillas were not homemade and were stale. I had a carne asada taco and an asada “Boss” burrito. Unfortunately the steak was not very flavorful and it didn’t taste fresh. The food itself wasn’t terrible but it definitely wasn’t worth the money.

Save yourself the trip. We had to send our guacamole back and exchange it for queso. The guacamole was too vinegary and tasted a few days old. The queso was definitely just melted Velveeta with a bit of salsa. The rest of the meal was mediocre at best. One item we ordered was never brought out and after it being the third mistake already, we chose not to ask for it again. The waitress never gave us or offered us drink refills. And she was hard to track down for other requests.

Great food, great drinks. Prices are affordable. Our waitress was attentive and also gave us enough time in-between checking up. She had her timing down to a T! Wish I remembered her name. We'll definitely be back. Husband had an chimichanga said was perfectly fried and filled. I had the dinner combo one taco, one tostada, and a enchilada they were all perfect for me. Portions were enough to stuff us both!
