It pains me to say this, but ever since the change in ownership - this place has sunk like a lead…read moreballoon I was toying with giving them only a single star, but am giving them 2 because the servers there are incredible and none of this is their fault. Nope the trouble it all comes down from the top. The food has gotten bland and the portions have gotten ridiculously small. How small? Here are some examples - I used to order the chile rellenos: * Old owners - 2 stuffed chile peppers served with rice. * New owners - 1 stuffed chile pepper served with rice for about 3 dollars more. I used to order tamales: * Old owners - 3 tamales * New owners - 2 tamales for two dollars more. As a bonus kick in the pants - I was charged $5 for a side of extra queso fresco. I had to order this because of the minimal amount they now put on it. I was literally in shock. I could see 2 bucks, even 3, hell 4 is pushing it, but 5 dollars? Nope. The final straw came for me when I order 3 beef tacos and they came on tortillas that were insanely small. I'm talking 2 bites and gone. I asked the server, did they change tortilla styles, and she honestly didn't know. Also they're now 3 bucks more than they used for to be. The worst thing a place can do is charge more money for less food that by comparison is substandard to how it used to be. On top of that their kitchen's sheer inability to get even the simplest requests right, coupled with finding actual steel wool fragments in my taco meat the last time I ordered... sigh. I'm at a loss. Thankfully the previous owners opened up a New Mexican restaurant only 5 more minutes in driving distance from me and it was like going home again. Sorry Jalapeños, but we are never coming back again.

Tacos does not come with any kinds of salsa like other Mexican places. Also becareful of their taco Tuesdays and the (+2.99 Platter) it's just an add on for beans and rice and a salad that they don't specify. I tried to get a refund for the platter because I didn't know and to just keep the tacos but they apparently can't do it cause it's "paid online". You might as well don't get scammed like me and order the lunch version on their menu since it's a cheaper version of the "platter +2.99" without the extra charge. They also do not answer their phone often so that should've kind of been my red flag for this place. Service was not the best and had not only me but a lot of other people waiting for a long time to get their food. I genuinely love Mexican food places so it saddens me that I had to write this review cause it was that bad.

Take out because usually the wait is sooo long. So I did a take out order which was ready in a flash. I really shouldn't tell anyone about this place because then it won't be my secret. I took home the Carne Asada platter which was big enough for my husband and myself. One nice piece of steak, 4 pieces of chicken flautas, 1/2 a cheese tortilla, rice and beans, some queso and tortillas. Why did I think this wouldn't be enough? Who knows. But I also decided to get the special of four tacos for $10 and of course flan. While waiting they had a special for cinco de mayo (virgin) daiquiris. I took home the mango one to spice up with some tequila. But had a sip before I left there and wished I had a bigger one. Well, my husband and I have tacos left over for tomorrow. I had a bite of flan (my kryptonite) and the rest is waiting for tomorrow. The tomatillo sauce was wonderful. My husband does not like Mexican rice and he ate almost all of it. He loved the cheese queso! And the FLAN?!? It has got to be the smoothest and creamiest one I have tasted. Whatever you do, let's keep this little gem a secret between us.

This would be a true go-to place if we lived in the area...but, we absolutely will be back to this lovely restaurant on our next visit.

The restaurant is decorated very nicely and it also is very tidy and clean. On this visit, I went to the restroom to wash my hands before eating, and I found the toilet and the sink and everything was cleaned very thoroughly. Our meals were presented very nicely on the plates, and the service is very quick, yet it tastes like their Abuelita or grandma is slow, roasting the food in the back all day long. This visit, we ordered the shredded chicken tacos and the ground beef tacos with the tomato, lettuce and shredded cheese on the flower tortillas which was surprisingly filling each order you get three tacos and my husband got the traditional smothered burrito. It was delicious it had shredded chicken and was perfectly seasoned and was very thick and full of ingredients. The flavor was delicious. He let me try a bite. It was amazing.

The building itself is a festive bright Orange color. I was greeted warmly by the owner as I walked on. The dining room had about a dozen tables but I got our order to go. It had an open kitchen with a small bar section so you could eat right where they cook. It was decorated in traditional Mexican decor. Now for the food, I ordered the enchiladas , one with Verde sauce and the other with Molé. The food smelled wonderful as I opened the bag and it looked just as delicious. The tortillas were fresh and homemade and the flavor was on point. The verde sauce had a great flavor and had just enough kick to make me know there was some spice. It was covered in lettuce and cheese and specked with diced tomato. The chicken was moist and tasty. The Molé sauce was deep and rich and had excellent flavor. It came with beens and rice. The beans were light colored and not black beens and the rice was standard Mexican rice. Overall it was really good. I will be going back again. They accepted debit cards but also had an ATM in the corner. The only drawback is that they didn't have any menus to give me so I will have to search that up on the inter webs. A small inconvenience for a wonderful meal.

Finally got around to trying the new Hispanic American restaurant, Pa'Pikar, located in Ironstone…read moreVillage. It's a small family owned business. Small and cozy inside with nice homey decor hanging throughout. I went with my family. We were the only ones dining in through the entirety of our meal although a handful of customers did stop in to pick up their takeout orders. I would assume it's BYOB but we did not ask nor did we bring in any alcohol. So I would ask if you're dining in and are planning on bringing wine or beer. The servers were part of the restaurant owner's family and were both incredibly nice. They do not provide complementary chips & salsa, which is fine, but I am noting that as a PSA. The menu prices are more than reasonable and the daily special prices are great. I ordered horchata and we started with family nachos with chicken. The horchata was good but I would've enjoyed it more with cinnamon garnishing the top. The portion size of nachos we received was generous and they serve with enough toppings for all of the tortilla chips (which were great!). They brought out a salsa verde and salsa roja. Both were delicious, and the red was much spicier than the green which they informed us of prior to placing them down at our table. My parents ended up ordering chicken burritos and I chose steak/beef fajitas. Burritos were served with shredded lettuce and tomatoes. They were short but stuffed with chicken, rice, beans, pico, sour cream, and guac. My mom couldn't finish hers, so I was able to eat the last little bit. Very enjoyable, more so than my fajitas. If I'm being honest I was disappointed in the fajitas and wouldn't order them again. Instead of coming out sizzling on a hot skillet, they came out on a plate sitting in liquid. The vegetables and steak weren't grilled. Flavor was okay but reminded me of frozen, bagged veggies. The fajitas were served with 3 tortillas, cheese, and sliced avocado. Our experience had pros and cons. The bill ended up being around $65 which I thought was affordable for the amount of food we received. Nachos / burritos were good and I'd stick with them during my next visit. Servers were nice and respectful. Fajitas were below average and the horchata wasn't served with any cinnamon on top. Next time I'm back will probably be for takeout when I'm in the mood for a burrito.
