    The surcharge  explained, says there is a cash and non- cash price. But there is only one price listed in the menu.
    Tammie H.

    So hubby and I went to Alexa's for the first time today. We both ordered Menudo, we didn't ask for pata. It came in a large bowl with hominy and tripe. I had corn tortillas and he had flour, both were homemade, yum. Coffee wasn't great nor the melon agua fresca both were watery. The menudo was good but not great. The restaurant was very busy and loud. Just basic diner style. Then the bill came, the menu said 15.99 for the menudo (good price) but the bill said 17.29 the waitress said that there is a 3.99% surcharge for not paying cash on each item. My receipt doesn't show it , kinda sneaky. FYI-That is not allowed in California for debit cards. The other items on the menu looked good, but bring cash btw only the cash price is on the menu.

    Chorizo Skillet
    Keith K.

    My first time here was a mixed experience. I was greeted right away and told to sit anywhere. I was by myself so I chose a small table towards the front. One server dropped off a menu. Then another server brought some chips and salsa. But, no one offered me anything to drink so I had to flag a server down to get some water. Another server finally came over and took my order. No smile, no hello, no "sorry for the wait ". I ordered the chorizo skillet and the portion was huge and it was delicious! Based on the food, I would definitely return but would hope for a friendlier server next time.

    Chilaquiles w/Steak
    Greg L.

    Hey Yelp fam! It's brunch time and after a fresh Sunday morning walk with the wifey @Mt Rubidoux I've been wanting to hit up this spot for some chilaquiles with Steak and their Menudo! I ordered the Chilaquiles with Steak and it was absolutely delicious!!! The steak was perfect with the grill marks the tenderness and charred Smokey flavor from having the steak flame grilled and perfectly seasoned. It was so good that after I'd finished it I noticed I didn't ask for overeasy eggs that I thought would have automatically been on there lol maybe next time. The menudo was good not great but good. It seemed watered down though a little bland no kick and the staff although friendly needs to work on attending. Which is the reason for the 4 star review vs a 5 star review. I still recommend trying them out. They have pretty good weekly deals too! I'll be sure to try them out!

    Chorizo burrito
    Megan C.

    We've been here several times in the past few months and everything we've tried is amazing. Service is great. All the ladies here are kind and helpful. Place is clean and open. This morning we had the chorizo burrito and the eggs rancheros. Everything is super fresh, large portions, and lots of flavor. We'll keep coming back. Oh and their chips and salsa...so good.

    Carnitas taco plate

    I have been going to this spot for a while now and haven't had any issues with the food or customer service whatsoever. But, I recently had a bad experience. My family and I went and had hair In our food in 2 separate plates. They accommodated us with a free meal, days after and I got sick. I'm saddened by this because even though hair was there on the day we went, I took a chance on the free meal. (I gave 3 stars for the effort to accommodate)

    Jamaica, horchata
    Ashley D.

    2nd time here and everything tasted amazing and so flavorful. Service is always very quick and very nice. It's always busy here so there might be a short wait but it's worth it.

    Cold pancakes and eggs
    Mike J.

    The pancakes, eggs & sausage were cold. Ask for fresh food, the 2nd plate they brought was still cold. The waitresses were nice about it. The tacos were ok. I got 2 asada and 1 al pastor. Would I come back?? Probably not. It wasn't for me. The ambiance in this Restaurant was ok, only thing I didn't like is that they allow ppl selling items come up to you while you eat, asking if you wanna buy this and that.

    Receipt, #15 combo plate is $18.99 on the menu. They charged me $19.75 + tax.
    Yosi S.

    I'm giving this place 1 star because of their dishonest pricing. I called in a to-go order and specifically asked for the prices of each item. The employee gave me amounts that were slightly higher than what's listed on the menu -- for example: * Combo #15 is $18.99 on the menu, but I was told $19.75 * Tuesday's special is $13.99, but they said $14.55 * Carne asada burrito listed at $11.29, but quoted at $11.74 * Large Jamaica priced at $5.99, but they told me $6.23 At first, I assumed they were just quoting me the total with tax included. But when I picked up my food, they added tax on top of those already-inflated prices. So I ended up paying more than I should have. On top of that, the food was mediocre -- nothing memorable or worth returning for. If you decide to eat here, double-check what they're charging you. The lack of transparency left a bad taste in my mouth, and not from the food.

    Love this place food is amazing customer service is on point and the atmosphere is great we order the racherra plate was fire ..my wife order the fajita plate was amazing all the flavors were there and the French toast was bomb .. will be back soon bit shout out to our waitress marioly

    Steak fajitas
    Vic R.

    We drove from Anaheim to try their food and it did not disappoint, the food was amazing. Our server Lorena was the best, extremely friendly and welcoming. The steak fajitas were sizzling and the steak was so tender that it melted on your mouth. Would definitely come again

    Califas..  just omelet with spinach and cheese with avocado,  they forgot the sour cream and salsa didn't think it was a Mexican dish at all
    Monique D.

    The food was good, but I think more authentic Mexican dishes would be better nothing more to say

He was patient, understanding, and genuinely made me feel comfortable, which I really appreciated. It's kid friendly and although it's a bit dark inside they did a good job with decor! The customer service was amazing from start to finish, and you can tell they care about their customers' experience.

The birria ramen had the same issue it tasted mostly like salt with very little actual flavor. The tacos were just okay, nothing that stood out. On top of that, the prices are high. The service was also pretty slow, and they only had one salsa option, which unfortunately wasn't good either. There are much better birria spots out there. I gave this place a try because of all the hype, but I wouldn't go back or recommend it.
