They either changed cooks or purchased sweet tomato sauce versus taco sauce as the food was sweet !

Won't be bringing my adult sons who were raised in Texas and know delicious Mexican food after all - I for a side enchilada and it was flat tasting too - best thing we had was guacamole but the chips were a bit stale

This was one of the best experiences with Mexican food that we've had in Maine so far, and…read moredefinitely top dog in the Westbrook/Windham/Gorham area! We came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, expecting it to be packed. It was actually pretty quiet and service was exceptional. There were a couple of drink specials that we had to try - a Mexican Espresso Martini with honey tequila and cinnamon simple syrup and a spicy pineapple margarita. Both were amazing. Chips were warm and salsa was good. After we ordered, the food came out quick - shockingly so. Both my chicken tamale and Chile relleno were smothered in this amazing red sauce with nice chile flavor. The relleno had a very satisfying cheese pull and reminded me of what I used to get in Southern California. The chicken in the tamale was a little dry, but I used the red sauce to solve that problem real quick. The dish that I was a little disappointed in was the birria taco - the consomme was very oily and didn't have that depth of flavor that you expect from this dish. There also wasn't nearly enough cheese. The braised beef inside was very very tender and tasty, though. The Pollo Sinaloense - a thinly pounded and breaded chicken breast topped with chorizo and cheese - was unique and delicious, and nicely balanced with a little salad and Spanish rice. The restaurant itself is bigger than it looks from the outside and the booths are nice and comfy. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. They seem to have a great happy hour and a huge menu, so we can't wait to return to try some more!

Located in the Maine Mall, you'll find this Mexican establishment in the food court area next to…read morethe restrooms. No, that was not an attempt to say you'll need to use it after. They literally are the first restaurant right after the restroom area and next to a French fry place. The food was fantastic. All the ingredients used seem fresh and not something that has been sitting there for hours. The quality of the meats was great and the sauces appear to be made in house.I had a burrito in salad form. It came with rice, beans, fresh avocado, chips, pico de Gallo, and a meat of your choice. I left off the cheese. My wife had the tacos and the kids each got a burrito. The only reason for the 4-stars is the pricing. They are a bit on the pricey side where for four people (3 tacos, 1 burrito and 2 burrito salads ran close to $75. Staff was very friendly. If you are willing to pay premium prices for a Mexican food joint in a mall food court, try them out. The food won't disappoint, but it will hit the wallet.

They're fun and yummy. I've never had a bad taco there, actually. At prime time, getting a seat there can be daunting, and parking can be hell, but not worse than on the peninsula. The drinks are all good, and the service is always friendly. Super cute interior, and getting an outside table on a nice day is a treat.

Our friend ordered Hawaiian fajitas which came in a fresh pineapple. My combo of chose was Nina's combo which included shredded chicken in mole sauce (too sweet for my taste buds), queso fresco, red onions, and a chile relleno. The chile relleno was the reason I got this dish. The chile relleno was decent. Our booth felt a bit cramped for two couples. Prices were moderate. Overall a nice experience.

He was hilarious, welcoming, and just genuinely fantastic at what he does. He kept joking that I must be Latina because I could say a few words, which turned into such a fun conversation. We ended up bonding over the fact that my fiancé and I are Greek, and he had actually studied the Greek language--such a random and awesome connection! On top of the amazing service, the food was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Luís really elevated the whole experience, but the combination of his personality and the incredible food made this a place we'll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend!

I had a puffy bistek taco, and it was not as flavorful or tender as I expected, and much smaller than I remember. At $6/taco, I would have expected either a more complex flavor profile, or a larger taco. The vibe is fun and funky, but not for me anymore. The service was good, and I really liked our server. No nonsense and prompt, and when you have a hangry 5 year old, it's greatly appreciated. Especially after changing his drink order 6 times in 30 seconds. He thoroughly enjoyed the verdue puffy taco, so it's a win for us, too! Overall, a great vibe for a younger crowd with young kids. Just not for myself as a go-to.
