    a close up of a plate of food
    Sam Z.

    I loooove the food there especially the birria. This food stop is the real Mexican food. Simple and delicious. You get to choose between goat birria or beef which is cool bcuz not all Mexican restaurants make goat birria. The amount of food is enough to make you very full and make take left over. Good prices too. For example the one dish of birria u see in the image was for $16. In this restaurant, they also have a corner to buy some Mexican stuff like chips and drinks. I totally recommend you give it a try especially to try goat birria. They also have very delicious tacos. Big parking spots so u never have to worry about that.

    Pedi molletes pero me trajeron una torta aguada de frijoles sin sabor.

    El menudo estaba suavecito pero insípido, sin sabor a nada. No tenía ni sal, ni ajo y ni poniéndole la cebolla, cilantro y limón se compuso. Los molletes no eran molletes. No fueron hechos en horno, no estaban doraditos, no tenían queso derretido y el pico de gallo era solo jitomate y cebolla picada, sin sabor y sin marinar. De verdad que no tienen idea de lo que es un mollete. Parecía una torta aguada de frijoles. No se podía ni agarrar de qué se deshacía de aguada. La torta de asada parecía, más bien, torta de lechuga. La carne tenía mucho nervio y no estaba sazonada. No sirven café. El servicio fue muy rápido pero el sabor rico estuvo AUSENTE totalmente. El ambiente está muy revuelto. Es difícil sentarse, todo muy pegado y confuso. Este lugar solo se salva por las carnitas estilo Michoacán. Aun así, te las dan todas súper picadas y revueltas, como si fueran sobras. Ojalá mejoren. Pagamos $59 por todo, más propina porque la mesera no tiene la culpa. Esta es la 2da vez que venimos aquí pero no habrá más. Lo único que nos gusto fueron las salsitas que te sirven para comer con chips. Me da pena dar un mal review porque me gusta apoyar a los comercios hispanos. Sin embargo, ojalá, prevenga que tiren su dinero por platillos mal hechos.

    We came here for an early Mother's Day dinner with the four of us. We had reservations, HIGHLY…read morerecommend getting reservations. We were seated right away. This is such a cozy and unique restaurant. Everything we ordered was something I had never tried before. We started with cocktails. They have a big variety of margaritas, beer, and other signature drinks. For our appetizers we ordered the blue corn bread which is served on a mini cast iron skillet. This corn bread is sweet, but also has some spicy chili flavor. We shared the fish ceviche with tuna. It was so fresh and the flavors were out of this world. Tangy, sour, a little spicy. For my main I went with the special for that weekend which was the Sea Bass. So flaky and buttery. It was served on top of a kind of fried rice. Overall great experience here. I would prepare for a 2hr experience so that you can enjoy all meals equally!

The numerous booths were cute, but really too small for four people. there were quite a few larger tables for eight or 10 people. Four four , It's a lot of cozy togetherness, which is probably fine for a family, but not for other circumstances. The halibut entrée was very good. The short ribs were kind of average. The other two guests were mixed in their review of the entrées as well. Our our server was super nice , attentive and knowledgeable - while he was with us - but would disappear for long periods of time such that we had to get up to get their attention several times to get additional items. The restaurant was not particularly crowded, but there was something going on at another nearby table - perhaps a VIP, family friends or owner (?) that attracted a gathering of several servers for long periods of time, so it was hard to get our servers attention. I'd be surprised if that was a common scenario, but it happened while we were there. Ambient noise was fine . Prices were on the higher side for my expectation, but the presentation was very nice. It was pretty good, would probably do 3 1/2 stars if I could, but it definitely isn't equal to the various four stars I've rated locally.

First off, huge shoutout to the staff at both locations. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. We had a group of about 12 showing up and ordering at different times, plus another large party there, and they handled it all really well. The patio has such a great Midtown vibe, and I'm always happy supporting local small businesses. We ordered a little bit of everything: ribeye gorditas with homemade tortillas, street tacos, quesadillas, loaded papas, elote, and I even attempted the AYCE tacos. The carnitas was some of my favorite in town, the guac was delicious, and my friend loved the skirt steak tacos. Plus, the three salsas they serve are all so good. Tacos are always subjective, but I'd absolutely recommend giving Ana's a try because there's something for everyone on the menu. The cocktails are fun too, and I'll definitely be back.

The indoor space is pretty small and can get warm with the kitchen right there. The staff was fantastic! Service was excellent from start to finish. The prices were a little steep, so I came in expecting the food to really wow me. I appreciated that so much is made in-house, including the tortillas and gorditas, but unfortunately the flavors just didn't quite hit the mark for me. The papas were absolutely delicious and probably my favorite thing we ordered. The tacos were also good. The ribeye gordita was a bit dry and the tortilla ended up overpowering the rest of the dish. The chicken flautas were also on the dry side and could have used a little more seasoning and flavor. I found myself reaching for the salsa with every bite. The carne asada had more of an al pastor appearance and different flavor profile than your traditional carne asada. I really wanted to love this place because the atmosphere and service were so great. If the food matched the caliber of the staff, we'd be regulars. The food was plated beautifully, but definitely underwhelming with flavor and texture. Maybe it was just an off day, and I'd be willing to give it another try in the future.

Los Gallos covered those two needs perfectly. Located on the main ave across from Circus Circus. Kinda cool pawn shops too but didn't have time to check them out. Walking in, it def has the authentic dinginess that is usually synonymous with authentic tasting food. Lots of handmade signs and pictures of food on the walls. And also lots of pictures from their hometown. It was a Monday afternoon and there were many local Mexican families eating there which is another great sign. Ordering was pretty easy. After doing me best To order in Spanish I realized the lady working there spoke perfect English. Haha. I ordered a shrimp burrito with everything and 3 street tacos all to go. It took a long time for the food to come out. There was a large party order that they were getting ready so I waited a long time. It was so long that I expected them to offer me a free coffee or soda but they didn't. The food finally came and it was a solid 4. The shrimp burrito was tasty and the shrimp was cooked really well. The tacos were good too. I'll def be back next time I'm in Reno.

Mexcal is a taco joint serving up elevated tacos that you can order one by one. These things are loaded up with protein and toppings, and they do not skimp on the portions! The flavor combinations are absolutely unreal, and I love that they have some unique protein options, too. I tried the duck confit, the spicy lamb, and the short rib tacos. My dad ordered the al pastor and quesabirria tacos. We both agreed that the short rib was our favorite. Tender short rib in a delicious sauce topped with fresh guac. Fantastic! I was also shocked by how much duck they loaded up the duck confit taco with. That was probably my second favorite. Super tender duck with tons of flavor. The vibe here is casual, but it can be a nice, elevated date night spot. I really enjoy that you can order one or two tacos and then order more if you're still hungry. The service between orders is fast enough that you don't have to feel pressured to order them all at the same time. Overall, very impressed with Mexcal, and it will often be one of my recs to others looking for a great bite in the midtown/downtown area.

My wife's regular taco was chicken and mine was chorizo. I enjoyed my chorizo taco also. The tacos came with both a green and red sauce, both of which were good. The red sauce had a slight kick to it. Overall the food and tacos were good. Simple menu. Lunch specials available. Complimentary chips and salsa - The salsa was thin, I prefer a thicker salsa. Not much quantity so we had to ask for more. They gave us a little more. Seemed kind of stingy. Ambiance - Decent size location. Not busy at all on a Friday prime dinner time. This should have been a sign... Table, booth, and bar seating. Limited mall parking in front, but no problem getting a good space. Your outside signage needs some repairs. Service - Just okay. I had to ask for everything; utensils, more chips, etc. The younger female employee was better than the older one. Price - $19; reasonable. Plus a more generous tip then earned... But I did NOT appreciate the hidden charges. 50¢ extra for chorizo. 3.5% credit card fee. If you disclosed it, it would NOT have made a difference, but nowhere on the menu nor did any employee mention these additional charges. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2018...?

The bread arrives with that perfect crusty exterior and airy interior that holds up beautifully once it's "drowned" in the vibrant, slightly spicy tomato-chile sauce. The pork inside is tender and flavorful, and the balance of acidity, heat, and richness feels fresh rather than heavy. It tastes remarkably close to what you'd find in Jalisco, which makes it feel genuinely authentic rather than a watered-down version for tourists. We also got tacos dorados de papa and those were pretty amazing too. The micheladas and chavelas are just as impressive. They're crisp, well-seasoned, and perfectly chilled, with just the right amount of lime, spice, and salt on the rim. They pair incredibly well with the tortas and make the whole meal feel even more special. On top of the food and drinks, the service really elevates the experience. The staff is attentive, friendly, and clearly proud of what they serve, checking in just enough without hovering. Overall, it's a spot that delivers on flavor, authenticity, and hospitality, making it a standout choice for anyone craving great Mexican comfort food. Will definitely be coming back.
