This place has my favorite birria and I love their aguas because you can do a chamoy and tajin rim, yum! My go to's are anything birria but quite honestly, everything is good. There are many things that are shareable, and the carne asada fries are my favorite. Tried their new loaded guacamole and taquitos de papas, and wow so tasty and delicious. The micheladas are also the best out there, and is a big portion so I usually split it with my husband.

The chips are good salsa is to watered. The Tacos are good and priced well to today standards. I just wish when you order to go they don't bag it all up for you, they should bag it only after the food has been inspected by the customer because there always messing up to go orders. And over $5 refreshers is a big mistake. Overall as local I won't be coming here anymore. The vibe is nice.

Flavor wise I liked the non-battered more. No char on the carne asada.

I've only been here once, but I can say easily that everything I had was the best of its kind…read more Having said that, you must try everything I had and tell me if you feel the same: 1. The birria tacos. Deep fried on a clean plancha. And the chili oil they give you for dipping is fantastic! 2. California burrito. I know you can get these anywhere, but they beat Miguel Jr, Alberto's, everybody. 3. Jamaica. Again, I know you can get these just about anywhere, but what stands out is that they add GUAVA to the mix and it gives it a rich flavor, you won't want the hibiscus without it after this. Shout out to Jose for being such a gentleman my first time there!

Compas tacos is a cozy restaurant with good food…read more I came here and ordered the California burrito and boy was it filling. The burrito was large and had a ton of flavor - trust me you'll be full off it. It had fries, guac, asada, and cheese - just look a the photo! The food was good, but if you're a salsa lover and lover of pickled veggies (like me) then you might be slightly disappointed. The salsa lacked flavor and it tasted very store bought as opposed to fresh, handmade. The picked veggies also didn't have the tanginess and spice that I love. The staff was nice, and the food service was quick! If you pay cash, you'll get a slight discount at the register.

This small location is tied in with the local park just past downtown. My initial impressions were…read morenot that great because I saw that the park public restrooms were inside the location and fenced in. The initial odor wasn't so pleasant. The men's bathroom did not have hand washing soap and it was very dark inside. I was prepared to give a very unfavorable rating. However. after receiving and tasting the food and drinks I was very surprised. The food was amazing and much authentic. The aguas frescas were definitely fresh and delicious! I observed patrons enjoying their taquito plate and burritos. I will definitely return to try another entree. They do only offer outside patio seating but I think it's part of the ambiance. The service was very friendly. I definitely could tell that they use fresh products. Again, some of the negatives was the occasional restroom odor and that they charge a service fee for paying via credit card. Don't confuse it with La Única restaurant downtown

This reminds me of my childhood. Customer service is great and the staff is always helpful. The ambiance is cozy outside type of area where you'll see birds around you, bugs flying around so your orders may end up being to go as it's an outside type of seating. Other than that the rest of the food from what my wifey has had been very good and on point.

DELICIOUS HOMEMADE TORTILLAS! I've been following Aztlan Tacos on Instagram for a few months now…read moreand I finally made it in! The girl at the counter greeted me with a smile and was INCREDIBLY professional! I asked about their namesake taco the "Aztlan Taco" and she broke it down for me. I didn't get her name but she was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I ordered two of the "Aztlan" tacos with carne asada as she recommended, they were really tasty! I think the carne asada could've been a bit more savory but it's only a minor suggestion. The authentic flavors and in-house tortillas wrapping the tacos were phenomenal. My highlight were the sopes! I cannot recommend them enough, you MUST try the sopes! I ordered one chicken sope and it was hands down one of the best sopes I've ever had! The cream, cheese, meat and sope itself tasted like ingredients I would get in Mexico! Trust me, I know authentic. PRO-TIP: Squeeze a little lime on your Aztlan tacos, I did! Everything about this taco shop was quite convenient and accessible. There's a salsa bar which is covered at all times, a small fountain with classic soft drinks and a side fountain with jamaica and horchata. The restaurant was very clean and modern. I appreciated the quality AC too! Note: Dine-in customers receive a free pack of small tortilla chips or a small bag of Fritos. I recommend the corn tortilla chips.

We came here on a Saturday night, and although it was getting pretty packed, we were pleasantly…read moresurprised that we got seated fairly quickly. We ordered the chicken enchilada plate, shredded beef crispy tacos, pastor tacos, and a bowl of pozole, and everything was delicious. The chicken enchiladas were flavorful, the shredded beef tacos were perfectly crispy, the pastor tacos were well-seasoned, and the pozole was hearty and comforting. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Overall, it was a great dining experience with delicious food, quick seating despite the weekend crowd, and excellent service. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in the Lake Elsinore area.

First learned of this spot from my aunt, it was her favorite place here…read more Plus I remember they had a solid breakfast burrito. So my experiences vary depending on how I'm experiencing them-if delivery, not too pleasant because they don't secure their packages. If dine-in, they have yet to disappoint. Certainly recommend dining in I've had their flan, their super nachos and their huevos rancheros. The latter two, were perfect. THIS is my new go to spot for nachos-hard to find a place where you can get loaded nachos with nacho cheese and they have both shredded and nacho cheese sauce here. Just amazing. The huevos rancheros...well look at them. Doesn't that look delicious? It was. I won't speak on the flan because, well, I don't think I like flan much. The dining area is roomy. Service was prompt and friendly. Tvs going, arcade machines. This is a great spot with great food-just be weary of ordering delivery.

We keep coming back!…read more El Ranchito has cheap, Mexican food that is easy to love. The food is pretty good. My husband and I love it. The price is fair. You walk up to order and they bring it to your table. I enjoy the cheese quesadilla and cheese enchiladas plate. The French fries with nacho cheese are a good option too. My husband loves the flautas and breakfast burrito. Ambiance is kind of bar like on one side and restaurant on the other. The tv is usually loud playing some sort of sports.

Our son recommended Main Street and we discovered 3 competing Mexican food spots closely situated. I saw this spot and they had me at the word authentic on the sign. We arrived around noon on a Thursday and the place was empty. The convenient drive through makes things easy but we went inside. She ordered Chile Relleno which came with rice and beans and I asked for a chicken enchilada and a crunchy hard shell machaca taco, (shredded beef) with double frijoles. Chips and salsa and 2 beers. It all came out hot and fresh and the beer was ice cold. The home made salsa Roja had the very best flavor and it had the habanero kick we were looking for...so look out. The chips were fresh but had a touch too much salt. If your in the mood for authentic Mexican food you need to visit this spot. The clean dining room has televisions and the booths are comfortable. Did I mention the handmade authentic tortillas? oh boy oh boy oh boy.
