    Menudo is delicious
    Lora M.

    We have been coming here for over 8 years now, it's definitely a place to fine old town La Piedad cooking here in the IE. You definitely can't judge a book by its cover. Everything is so good, handmade corn tortillas, nothing fancy, little hole in the wall that will quickly become your favorite!

    Chili verde with fresh tortillas

    If you're looking for home style Mexican food, this place is it. Friendly atmosphere, good music in the background and GREAT service. We ordered a carnitas burrito, pupusa revueltas, birria taco and chili verde plate. The food came really fast and tasted fresh. Everything was so delicious! The chili verde came with fresh tortillas, the burrito was filled with meat and so flavorful. Also ordered an horchata and it had so much cinnamon (in the best way). Overall, a must try for anyone who wants good food at a great price! We will definitely

    This is the chili Verde plate. Pork meat soaked in amazing green sauce served with fresh beans and rice. Fresh hand made flour tortillas.

    No joke! You know when you watch triple D on t.v and you say to yourself that looks so good. I want to go there! This is one of those spots! A little run down, a little rough around the edges, but the food has incredible flavor, and portions are perfection. Salsa and chips are complimentary. The three of us ate for $40. Highly recommend. I hope they're consistent.

    Love this place, it's a little hole in the whole. When they say don't judge a book by it's cover that's what I mean by this place!!! I know the recipes are grandmas!

    Tacos de Carnitas on freshly made corn tortillas
    Danny G.

    I have been looking for a good Mexican restaurant in this area for over 5 months. Nothing has made me want to return until now! I had the Carnitas tacos and a pupusa de queso. The Carnitas were tender and flavorful, the tortillas are hand made and are the right size and density. The pupusa was bigger than others I've had and had the perfect masa to cheese ratio. The outside was crispy, and the inside was gooey with melted cheese. I honestly cannot wait to go back and try more of the menu.

    When you just don't want to cook!

    Where do I start with this place? Yesterday morning was my…read morefirst visit, and before stopping in, I called to ask about vegan options. To my surprise, I found out the entire restaurant is 100% vegan! As someone who was working in the area and thought there weren't many vegan choices around, this was an exciting discovery. For breakfast, I couldn't decide between my usual go-to, a breakfast burrito, or chilaquiles, one of my all-time favorites. The woman helping me recommended the chilaquiles and asked if I preferred spicy or mild. I chose spicy and paired it with a lemon cucumber chia agua fresca. The service was immediately unique. I wasn't asked for my name or given a table number, just told to sit wherever I'd like. Somehow, the staff knew exactly where everything belonged. A gentleman brought my drink, and by the time I returned from the restroom, my food was already waiting for me. The presentation was beautiful. The plate was loaded with rice, beans, chips, cheese, onions, bell peppers, and extra onions on the side. How did they know I loved onions enough to have a full size? The salsa was absolutely perfect. In fact, I thought about that meal for the rest of the day. The food felt wholesome, fresh, and made with care. The portions are huge, especially considering the very reasonable prices. And as a vegan, finding flavorful beans that don't leave you regretting your choices later is always a win! The customer service deserves special recognition. Everyone was genuinely friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was packed when I arrived, yet everything ran smoothly. The dining room and bathrooms were spotless, and the whole place felt like a beloved local gem. The food was so memorable that I came back the very next day for dinner before heading home. Once again, I asked for recommendations. I accidentally ordered the wrong item and realized it a few minutes later. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, something that's unfortunately rare these days. This time, I ordered the potato enchiladas and borracho fajitas, plus a re-chicken taco as a snack for the drive. Everything was delicious. I also have to recommend the aguas frescas. The lemon cucumber chia was fantastic, and the watermelon agua fresca I tried on my second visit was perfect for the heat. Also they make random sweets during the week; such as pastries, cookies, etc. When a restaurant makes you come back the very next day, you know they're doing something right. Great food, generous portions, excellent prices, wonderful people, and a fully 100% vegan menu (that isn't all soy based). I'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving this place a try.

The food was really great…read more- braised rib tacos with homemade tortillas, chicken taquitos and a couple of draft beers. The only criticism would be the service. Our server never came back to ask us if we wanted another beer and we had to call over another employee to order take home food and take care of the bill. There was maybe one other table of people there when we left and our original server basically ignored us. Would definitely come back for the food - maybe the server was having a bad day or just figured a couple of ladies wouldn't be interested in having more than 1 beer? Au contraire!

Unfortunately, we did have to wait around 30-40 minutes for the buffet to be ready.. we were served mimosas right away, which was nice. Now.. when it came down to the food, one person in my party did find a vey long hair in her chile relllenos. We made it know to our waitress.. which was a sweet person throughout everything!! Then we were told that the chilaquiles and taco station was now open.. so we headed down to it. There was no one to great us at the station. We stood around for around 10 minutes and no one showed up. So at that moment I grabbed a bowel of menudo. Lucky me!! I also grabbed a long hair in my menudo.. my sister in law thought it was a piece of onion but it was not! It was a very long strand of hair. At that point we all tried our best to make the best of it and enjoy the mariachi and mimosas. Then when I returned to the taco/chilaquile station the lady was very rude!! She bluntly asked what we wanted instead of telling us our options.. and I said I'll have 2 chorizo tacos please.. she said where's your plate?? I wasn't aware that I had to give her a plate to serve me. It was an overall horrible experience. Especially because we were literally the only party in the entire place besides the mariachi. The mariachi and our server were the only pleasant people that morning. I will never be returning.

From the moment we walked in, the staff was super welcoming and took the time to walk us through the menu and their specialties, which made ordering a lot easier. The shrimp tacos were a pleasant surprise--not your typical style. They're fried and topped with a flavorful sauce that really sets them apart. Solid choice if you want something a little different. The real star of the show was the Poseidon botana aguachiles. We were originally deciding between the Poseidon and the mixta, but they mentioned they could make the botana a Poseidon style, and that's what we went with. Absolutely delicious--super fresh and packed with flavor. Highly recommend this dish. We also tried the tostada de pescado (size small), which was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad, just didn't stand out compared to everything else. I'd personally skip it next time. One thing to note--there's a small parking lot that was more full than expected given how many people were inside. It seems like it might be shared with nearby businesses, so just keep that in mind. Overall, great experience, great food, and I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.
