They have a private parking lot that charges 50 pesos and right next to it there's a free parking lot. This place doesn't look like much from the outside but once we came in oh boy it's so beautiful. They have a treehouse, vendors, a pig, chickens, turtles, a tortoise. The place was decorated with día de los muertos decor. Lots of pictures of Mexican legends. The food was really good, portions were huge, service was great. We were celebrating my birthday and I got sang Las mañanitas by someone they have performing there. It was a good time, I will be coming back every time I visit my parents.

Don't you just love it when a restaurant gets things right?…read more Owners Roberto and Rina ("Reina") Perez have figured out how to prepare and present home cooking in a commercial setting, and, in doing so, have shown that they understand the importance of "home" in that construct. Some of this is no surprise to me. Reina is cousin to Rodnia Attiq (nee Navarro), who, with her mother Rosario Sotelo owned San Diego's El Borrego for almost 25 years, until they closed their business at the end of 2025. Having been welcomed and fed many times with homely care at El Borrego, I'm not surprised that the family connection - and the warmth and hospitality included in it - extends to Cousin Reina. If you're having a bad day, it's worth dropping in for a bite to eat just so you can say "hi" to her. Between the food and the greeting you'll receive, you'll leave feeling better about things. So what to eat? Depending on the time of day and how hungry you are, you'll be pleased with Cazuelitas; Pozole Rojo or the herby Guerrero-style Pozole Verde; hearty Tlacoyos; large Enchilada plates; or probably my favorite Mexican dish, Mixiote de Borrego, which is lamb that's spiced, marinated and slow-steamed until it falls off the bone. I've eated most of those things and seen the rest on my fellow diners' tables. Especially now that El Borrego is gone, if El Centro wasn't a two-hour drive from my house, I'd be a regular, so that I could continue sampling the superb and wide-ranging menu at Antojito Como En Casa.

Amazing. They give you so many options with salsa. I will be back whenever close to the area. Wish…read morethey had one in Phoenix.

Mind you we visit many, many, many taco shops across Southern California, Tijuana, Ensenada and Mexicali. Of all those, this does take the top spot as of today. We used to go to a tried a true taco shop elsewhere in Mexicali, but it had been shutdown for some time and on our return it just wasn't the same. We came to Fuerte based on the recommendation of many in our family, and it did not disappoint. We had the carne asada tacos, which is what you need to get here. We did also try the quesadillas, but beyond that we just dove into the carne asada tacos. Tortillas were great and made on site. The carne asada was tasty and full of flavor, and the condiments they lay out all added to our delicious midnight meal. We liked the carne asada tacos so much we didn't get to try anything else. So we will try some of their other offerings next time out.

We were a large group. The food itself was decent. Salsa and chips were good. The salsa was very flavorful but not hot at all. I got the machaca sonorense. It was a bit dry but the flavor was good (I realize this type of machaca, the real stuff, is typically drier). It comes with a salad, beans and guacamole. I could've done without the salad, it was average at best. They make tortillas by hand and they were quite good. I wouldn't mind going again, although to be honest I wasn't blown away by it. It's a little ways out of the city and I probably wouldn't go unless I happened to be in the area and hungry. I rate it a 3.5 but rounded up.
