This is a large hole-in-the-wall restaurant that has been opened for some time in downtown Phoenix. Clean and family owned restaurant that serves grandma style good Mexican food. Food is authentic and you get large portions. Average prices with very good service. Nothing too special but if you are in the area craving authentic Mexican food, this is a good spot. read more

I've been coming here for a minute and I must say they are moving on up! Lol Anyway, food is still good but I have a minor issue..the chips & salsa. 1st one is complimentary the 2nd they start charging, like WTH that's why I come here for, now I gotta savor every chip and the little salsa they give us! We're Mexicans who eats 3 chips & 1/4 cup salsa that they provide?!?! PONCHOS, HERE WE COME!! read more

Comedor Guadalajara - The "complimentary" chips & salsa..not enough! Order another round of chips, they charge! - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Fantastic classic Mexican food! Would definitely recommend for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

I had the shrimp enchiladas and they were outstanding. Great family atmosphere, authentic food, great prices. This is a Phoenix gem.

This place is a must try , I've had bad luck finding a good Mexican joint in Phoenix, but this place is definitely one of my favorites. Food is always good and the service is always amazing. Try the green Chile shrimp enchiladas!!! read more

This place is amazing! Me and my wife have been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. While everything is great I have fallen in love with the enchiladas (especially the green sauce) and the the cheese crisp. Please be aware there is almost always a long wait (30 minutes plus) but it is well with the wait. Also great place to take out-of-towners. read more

This is a hidden gem!!! This is really authentic cuisine, it reminded me of my grandma's cooking growing up. The outside is a bit out dated but when you step inside it's beautiful and makes you feel at home. This place is a must! read more

Comedor Guadalajara in S Central is housed in a great building. Large restaurant - absolutely beautiful - high ceilings, with a comfortable waiting area, and spacious table arrangement. Family oriented. They definitely cater to the Mexi brethren. The host guided us to the table for what seemed like the distance of an average Phoenix block and I was like, "Oh this is still part of the restaurant?!" The menu is large enough for a nearsighted grandma complete with a few pictures for folk like me who are constantly asking: what's that, how's it, who dat? If you're short on cash that week or forgot your wallet you can easily fill up with the sopa appetizer (a vegetable pasta soup) they bring upon seating and the obligatory corn tortilla chips. The chips were warm. Mmmm. And delicious with spicy salsa. I also ordered some churros. Made-to-order. Hot hot hot and yum yum yum. If I return to CG, it'll be with a different flock, and I would like to have a peck at one of the molcajetes or something out of the mariscos category because my own snobbish preference is for more upscale dishes. Word to the wise: if you want to eat here, you best be an early bird because they're not open all day. And prepare to wait about 20 min for a table, even at the break of lunch time. This place is more popular than a high school jock and cheerleader couple. read more

We had been looking for a solid Mexican place that is genuine, but in the good way.. not that other way. This place delivered. When someone asks me if I know a good Mexican restaurant, this will be my recommendation. It has the standard quirks that Mexican restaurants usually comes with. What quirks you may ask? You know.. the quirks. Very roomy too, check out other customers pictures. They start you off with a tasty soup, that I only can imagine that is free. The prices can look like they are a bit on the high end for a place like this (relative, they are not expensive), but then again when you have this rate of return customers, you can charge that little extra.. and you as a customer get it back in quality, and quantity. I didn't finish my full plate. The chicken chimi. A massive chimi. One! The size of 3 normal chimis. More than enough rice, more than enough beans covered with cheese. Yes, this seriously was not in my diet.. but I was hungry, and I got stuffed. I would definitely have this again. The waitresses is good and patient. No mistakes, and took our silly questions with a smile. No, I think I have found my go-to Mexican place for now. They deserve their reputation.. and they have been there forever, which means like 40 years or something. read more

I have been here once. Thank you Genny C. I had the chilaquiles y huevos ($7.95: cut up corn tortillas smothered in red chile and cheese and topped with eggs - i suggest over medium). A huge fan of huevos rancheros, I had never had chilaquiles (or heard of them) before this visit. They took hold of me! I dream of them now. I wake longing for them. I wish they were served past 10:30. As for the restaurant: the place is ginormous! Don't let the security guards in the parking lot put you off. Instead, let them get the door for you and take comfort in a delicious meal served by friendly staff who will greet you in Spanish but just as easily will answer you in English. read more

Authentic casual Mexican restaurant hit the spot - had the chicken tacos plate - delicious. Since I moved from California to DC I miss really good Mexican food. The wait to get seated wasn't long at all - it's a large venue, and the food didn't take long either, not a bad thing when you're ready to chow down. read more

Does "authentic" mean "good"? Not necessarily. I suppose the Comedor is more authentic than a place like Macayo's or Garcia's because they offer such typically Mexican delicacies as tripa and cabeza. They also have a menu full of the fish and mariscos that anglos tend not to order in typical Gringo-Mex outlets. They also don't drown their entrees under an avalanche of yellow cheddar cheese. But as an experience I would say even if it does offer a greater selection of authentic menu items, it's not really that much more satisfying than the other places. I had the carne asada tacos, which were serviceable if not thrilling. The dish came out warm and didn't have the tell-tale signs of having sat under the salamander for longer than it should. At one time these tacos would have been a revelation to anyone weaned on the Lawry's hard-shell ones. Now, with their soft, grilled dual corn tortilla goodness wrapping them, they resemble any number of other "street tacos" that have become more and more popular recently. The atmosphere is . . . well. . . "comedor" means "dining room" in Spanish. That's what it is: A big room full of tables. Mariachis were a nice touch. We waited 30 minutes at lunchtime on a Saturday to get a table. Maybe that's why I am less than thrilled. The place doesn't want for popularity. Aside from the wait, I had no complaints with the service. So to the uninitiated, I would go with an open mind, not expecting a life-changing experience. I would also advise people to try the things like the lengua molcajete (a sort of tongue stew served in a lava bowl). The availability of stuff like that is what really sets Comedor apart. And keep in mind that "authentic" doesn't always mean "good". read more

What can I say about Comedor that hasn't already been said... The food is reasonably priced and the selection is huge. Back in the day before I started telecommuting, a margarita or beer paired with one of their daily specials have gotten me through more than one long assed afternoon at work (please don't tell my boss). The wait staff is incredibly nice and watching newbies squint under the bright lights and bad south of the boarder art is always entertaining. If you want to be a little bold, try one of their soups. They are scarrier than shit if you are a white girl that grew up on meat and potatoes, but they taste great (I just don't ask whats in it). LOL read more

Ci! Comedor Guadalajara is a place that seems to always come up when discussing Phoenix Mexican food. I finally found myself in the area and dropped by for early lunch and was not disappointed. To the tourists and over cautious it may not look like the best area to be but have no worries. This part of town is just old and run down. You won't be knifed in the parking lot and there's even a security guard keeping an eye on the lot. Have no fears. As per usual when I hit a Mexican place I ordered the enchilada's. The appetizer was the standard free house chips and salsa. Oh, boy! The salsa! I always complain that the salsa in not hot enough (even at Mexican places) but one bite here and there was a temporary spice assault upon my eyes and nose. Both started to run and I loved every minute. When your body reacts, you know you're eating good salsa. My Pepsi came soon after wards and it was the largest drink I've ever been served save for a liter of beer I had at a German tavern in New York City. My food arrived soon after wards and it was served on a scorching hot plate. Everything was delicious and I think they make their own refried beans. Possibly the best beans I've had at a Mexican place. The dining area is larger than a fast food joint but smaller than your typical restaurant. Not long after I arrived it started to fill up quickly. Expect to wait a few minutes at peak times. Sadly this structure was an impenetrable fortress for my phone and I was unable to officially do a Yelp check in but, eh, I cannot hold that against the Comedor. I'd like to note that quite a few of the patrons were Hispanic and that, to me, is always a good sign when eating at a Mexican joint. I have been waiting to find a Mexican restaurant that I can officially dub as the best I've had. I am confident I can dub thee, Comedor Guadalajara, as the best I have had. Can't wait to take any visitors I have here. read more

I was here for the second meet up of the International Supper Club UYE. I thought that the first meet up was going to be hard to beat because it was so good but this place knocked another one out of the park. I think I just found my new favorite Mexican food place in town. From the outside it looks like a hodge podge of different additions obviously added at different times with no thought at trying to make it match at all. Even the parking lot was a little crazy. Walking in the two front doors continues the hodge podge theme. This is a family owned restaurant that has been here awhile for sure. We sat in the front waiting area for the rest of the group to show up and I had to use the bathroom really quick. Those were also scary. Questions started to arise about this place. I hope the food is good. We waited a little while longer and they decided to seat us even though our whole party wasn't there. Then we walk in to the main dinning are. Now obviously at some point they gutted the entire inside and completely remodeled it. It was very nice. It was a large open space with an exposed ceiling and lots of tables. We were taken to a back section where several tables had been pushed together for us. Maria our server came over and chips and salsa were on the table immediately. She did a great job the entire night. Best services I have had in awhile. She took everyone's drink orders and drinks started to come out a few at a time. Once everyone was there and ready to order she went around the table and took everyone's order. Offering suggestions and helping with custom orders. After what seemed like only a few minutes. Dishes started to come out as well. One or two here then a few more over there. Finally everybody had what they ordered and it all looked and smelled really good. Then fork went to mouth and somewhere a chorus started singing. Wow this was really good. I had ordered a Carne Asada steak with a cheese enchilada. I couldn't pronounce what it was called when I ordered it and I won't even attempt it here. It really was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. The steak had a great flavor to it and with all of the cheese and sauce and everything it just added to it. I couldn't even finish. Although there wasn't too much left. Even after that I still had to try some dessert especially after I saw churros and ice cream on the menu. This was not a mistake. It was so good. The ice cream was fantastic and the churros were warm and soft. Everything was amazing. Maria was a great server. The company was fantastic as usual. Maria even split the check up for us even though there was a handwritten sign up front that said they didn't do that. I hope to have many return visits here. My new favorite Mexican place hands down. read more

This is an authentic south Phoenix barrio restaurant. White folks in the dining room are in a pitiful minority, which is always a sign of good ethnic cuisine. As others have mentioned the decor is not necessarily hip, nor is the grand dining area particularly cozy, but I still liked the atmosphere. Affirming its authentic barrio status, when the waitress approached my nonwhite but also non-Hispanic self, she greeted us with "Buenos tardes. Como estan?" Having just returned from vacation in Argentina where I grew accustomed to these greetings despite my inability to speak Spanish, I quickly responded, "Buenos tardes, bien gracias." In Buenos Aires I was quickly identified by most waiters as a tourist so the conversation would then continue in English. Back here in my own hometown of Phoenix it's a slightly different story. Confusion reigned after I got out my Spanish response. She asked me something. I looked at her puzzled and instead of saying simply, "I don't speak Spanish" I reflexively said, "Como?" which of course extended the linguistic chaos at our table, because she then repeated herself and naturally I repeated my look of confusion. She probably wanted to smack me by the time we figured out what was going on. She was gracious though. The food was superb. I ordered something I'd never tried before: machaca con huevos. My mouth waters at the very thought of it. For the unacquainted, machaca is basically shredded beef. It was mixed up with egg, onions, tomatoes, and peppers, and came with a side of beans and rice. My friend had a more standard plate of cheese enchiladas and a tostada, and she also gave it the thumbs up. The service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere, though criticized elsewhere for its decor, was actually pretty interesting to me mainly because of my fellow customers. There were some large families there, from all walks of life. I'm definitely going back, especially since I live close by. read more

Much favor has been heaped in previous reviews and no dissent here. This place is great; eaten here many a time. Easy to get to from anywhere in the valley, at corner of I-17 and Central Ave. Excellent food, great service--even for a party of 22. Nice beverage assortment. Try a cold Carta Blanca, instead of a Modelo or that shite that begins with the third letter of the alphabet. And, by all means, order a Vampiro, if you've not tried one. Tequila, Sangrita, and Squirt soda pop--muy rico! read more

I love this place. Expect to wait for at least 40 minutes. The carne asada tacos are my favorite and the salsa and chips are very good. Salsa is hot. read more

Dining Guadalajara was more like eating in Guadalajara, complete with a wait for a table despite having many opens ones and a questionable security guard at the front door. We were in a cave like room waiting for our table, luckily it was just a 5 minute wait for lunch. One inside the main dining hall we were able to see the large size of this place, tables finished wall decorates but a unfinished ceilings and no windows make up the inside. I oped for the chillies relleno off the lunch special menu $7.50 most of the lunch specials range from 7.25 to 8.50. From seating to our main course we had over 5 different people visit our table. The chips were nothing special bu I do like the the spicy and thin salsa here. My chillie rellno was a bit different, the sauce was a bland tomato based sauce, the chillie it self could have used a bit more roasting and the cheese seemed a bit thin. Overall the prices seemed high for the location, and quality of food, I would sooner go to la canasa. read more

Mexican food is funny because it's one cuisine that we tend to have so many favorites in that we need to make sub-categories. As such Comedor Guadalajara would be filed in my database as the Mexican seafood place that I won't eat all day in anticipation of over-eating at. This is a very thin category, in fact it's the only one. The Veracruz style snapper is single-handedly responsible for keeping me from moving to another city. The shrimp tacos certainly pitch in on this retention campaign as well. Let's go back to the snapper for a moment, shall we? This dish serves an ample portion of fresh snapper in a near stew-like combination of jalapenos, onions, bay leaves and a rich tomato sauce. If that's not enough, you have the option to add shrimp. If I'm not feeling like eating off the coast, the chicken mole is sure to get my vote. The mole here is so good that I get a little insulted when I see it on menus elsewhere. The chicken is pulled from the bone and seems stewed as it's very tender and juicy. Service is always quick and friendly here. Decor is not the most inspiring here, but in Mexican restaurants I think that is a badge of honor. Folks of my pale pigment may pass on this place because it's location is rather industrial and low rent. That's fine by me, they can go to Macayo's and I'll take my usual booth under the spray painted swordfish. read more

I've driven by here a few times, but this weekend decided to take the plunge. I'm so glad I did. Comedor Guadalajara's exterior is pretty unassuming. Looks like a brownish/pinkish box. Once you walk in, you can see that while they have some nice Mexican items, let's just say you won't be paying for the decor. When I went by Sunday afternoon their after church crowd was huge. I was just getting mine to go luckily. I didn't hear anyone quoted more than a 10-15 min wait - and some of those were crowds of 8-10. Walking through the restaurant - it's huge! There is so much seating I can understand why it was the go to spot. Also, I loved the mix of folks. There was this guy in a cowboy hat, plaid shirt w/ jeans tucked into his cowboy boots standing right next to a guy in a full suit w/ a snazzy tie and shiny shoes. It was really a great snapshot of Downtown/Southern Phoenix. So yea, there were like 2 white groups. But the rest of this place was a somewhere in the brown scale. Black, Hispanic and mixed folks all hanging out waiting for the food. To me, this is a good sign. The Chicken Chimi was absolutely amazing. Some of the most flavorful chicken pieces with lots of red & green pepper and onions. I also tried their Pechuga Asado which was really good. 3 lunch meals, plus a 60 cent "to go charge" (weird, huh?) came out to $35.19. We will definitely be going back again next time to try all their amazing seafood platters. While they looked outstanding, I didn't think they were quite "to go" kind of food. Something to look forward to next time... read more

Great new find for us, we stumbled across it on a Sunday and were trying to find a place and not many were open in the area. We saw it and all the cars 1130am Sunday and thought, why not? Glad we did, very tasty food, good portions and really good flavor. Some certainly authenic dishes along with the normal dishes as well! The Mole was Que Bueno! The "right crowd" was in the restaurant and knew the food had to be good and we weren't wrong. Sure it's not in the best part of town, but don't let that scare you off of a great place! read more

Still on the quest for good Mexican food, I tried this place with a coworker who swore that I would love it. Not so. We went at lunch and the waiting area was packed! We put our names down and they called us 10 minutes later (not bad for how many people were waiting). They have a large dining area and lots of parking. When we sat down, they brought us chips and salsa and soup. The soup was yummy. The chips were disgusting -- you could taste the grease that they were fried in (YUCK!). I ordered the beef taco and cheese enchilada lunch special. The taco was decent (very small) and the cheese enchilada had onions in it which were crunchy when you bit into them. I thought I ordered a cheese enchilada but I guess they forgot to put cheese AND onion enchilada on the menu. I still judge a place by it's beans and these were nasty. You could taste the lard. My coworker ordered the chile relleno and chicken enchilada lunch special. She didn't like her food either. After we left, she apologized and admitted she would probably never go there again either. read more

I (finally) tried Comedor Guadalajara with a friend in from out of town last weekend. I was surprised by how busy they were on a Sunday at lunch time- there were people crowded in front of the restaurant and they announced names over an intercom. Whoa. We were seated fairly quickly in the (extremely large) dining room and service was efficient from that point on. The chips and salsa were more like chips and hot sauce, but they tasted good... I love the spiciness of the sauce and put it on everything. When it came to ordering, we were a little disappointed. My friend is a vegetarian and thought Mexican food would be no problem, but our waitress didn't know of almost anything on the menu that was vegetarian (most items have lard). He ended up getting cheese enchiladas and thought they were pretty 'meh.' Here's the real kicker though, I got the chicken burrito, which was absolutely delicious.... the chicken was juicy and cooked well... but the burrito mainly consisted of fantastic and flavorful grilled veggies...the type that would be perfect for a vegetarian perhaps.... hmmm. Anyway, other than that mishap, I really enjoyed my burrito and would go back to get it again. PS prices were reasonable, especially at lunch, and the portions were large. read more

Delicioso! Oh and the Margaritas are delicious...I should know, it's my middle name! But really, the food here is quite authentic. The chips and salsa are very sabrosos! The serving size is substantial and enough to take home leftovers. I prefer their green chile (again, I'm from New Mexico and very picky about my Mexican food!). I had a combination plate with enchiladas and tacos (if a place can't pull these two simple dishes off...this chica from NM is gonna go elsewhere) and they were both delicious. Everyone at my table really enjoyed their food. I can't wait to go back and try the albondigas soup which I've heard so much about. I hear they also have a pretty good happy hour. Buen provecho! read more

Best authentic restaurant I have been to in Phoenix! Must try. I loved the mole and the shrimp enchiladas. I recommend expecting to have at least a 30min wait time when you arrive this restaurant is always busy read more

The food is good and service is usually good....BUT....today it was HORRIBLE!!!! I called in my order went to pick it up and it was wrong. I ordered the cheese mole enchiladas and they tried to give me chicken. I dealed with the manager who said they have chicken and cheese enchiladas and I said I know but I ordered cheese. He said so you dont want these and I said no and he said so your going to wait and I said yes I ordered cheese not chicken. he grabs the box of food rolls his eyes dramatically and goes back to the kitchen. Come outs with my check which should have at least been discounted but it wasn't. I paid for it but didn't leave a tip. HORRIBLE especially coming from a manager. read more

Oh, I love you, Comedor Guadalajara. R.I.L.F. I loved you when you were also The Crystal Palace. I loved you as a child, when we would try to sneak into the pseudo-night club side and take peeks and our moms would drag us back like trouble-making ne'er-do-wells. You've changed a lot since then, dropping the Crystal Palace half of your moniker, but your food is still as good as it always was. You're cheap, you taste great and you give a lot, even if your looks aren't spectacular, just like my favorite hookers (what?). The Pechuga Asada, two whole chicken breasts grilled and tender, on top of a mound of rice and beans, is so delectable and awesome that I want to eat it constantly. But how can I, when the machaca chimichanga enchilada-style with plentiful guacamole and other assorted accoutrement beckon me? And what of you, Green Chili? Your almost-soupy consistency, the potatoes, the carne, the color, the tortilla...too much to handle. Oh, others, they will say that it tastes the same as other Mexican restaurants to them. That's because they haven't been spoon-fed all this shit for the past 25 years like we have, day in and day out, beaners that we are. We can taste the slightest change in the amount of cumin, or how much salt, or the way someone cuts their meat before cooking it, or the way they make their spanish rice, because we've eaten so damned much of it. So that's how I know that this isn't so run-of-the-mill. That's why I love you, Comedor Guadalajara. You're totally still a cutie, even at your ripe old age. R.I.L.F: Restaraunt I'd Like t....nevermind. read more

I went to this place for the first time and wasn't expecting a whole lot after looking at the outside. I figured it would be good though because we went there for my bosses birthday and I know he has the money to find good food. I was pleasantly surprised to find the inside nice and roomy. No overcrowding and it was clean. The food was great, I had the machaca beef chimichaunga enchilada style. The serving was enough to feed me for two meals and I only added a little bit of salt, the flavoring was excellent. read more

Something here has changed. This is our favorite Mexican food in the valley but today when we had lunch here, we realized almost immediately that something is different. The menu has changed and been simplified! Then we started with one of our favorites, the chips, but they were really bad. I think they were made in old oil. They stunk and tasted bad. I asked for another bowl and they too were the same but warm. The salsa is still the same and really good but our meals were prepared differently than in the past. The cheese enchilada was rolled rather than a flatter version and my husband's carne asada tacos were overcooked. Overall, our meal was only mediocre. Still okay but nothing like we are used to. What's up Comedor Guadalajara? read more

An excellent place to grab a quick bite. The weekday lunch features a mostly professional crowd, with long waits around noon. When you finally get inside, try the ceviche. read more

If you are looking for Authentic Mexican Food this is your place. Don't judge this place from the exterior view, once you get inside it is well lit, well air conditioned and great space. The service was great, quick, efficient and genuine. The salsa and pico were amazing, the best in town. I had the chicken chimi with red sauce and rice and beans. It was perfect! Couldn't beat it! perfect flavors and perfect spice. Great value for priced paid as well. They have great lunch special and better happy hour specials. I will be back! read more

This place was yummy and fun for big groups. Came here for a yelp gathering. Our server was awseome & food was delicious.

Dear Comedor Guadalajara, I love you. I miss you. I wish the lightrail went to your doorstep so I could visit you more often!! This is my vote for best Mexican food in the city. Just north of the Salt River on Central Avenue, in what looks like a failing industrial part of the city just seconds south of Downtown Phoenix is this amazing, beautiful gem of a mexican restaurant. With a large parking lot that is oftentimes full to the max, it can be a bit of a wait during peak eating hours. My best advice is to come during the off hours. I like 2PM on a saturday best. Everyone is bright and happy and the drinks are flowing (yes at 2PM, don't judge me!) and the salsa is SCORCHING hot! and the chips are yummy and the Beans N Chorizo Dip is incredible! If the salsa is too hot, ask for the mild and/or sour cream. The mild has no heat at all but is still flavorful and you can add as much of the hotter sauce to match your taste. It's delish. I like to order the plate that comes with green chilie relleno and a beef taco w/rice & Beans. My fave! This is a good place for large parties, as most tables can accommodate 6 people. and some tables in the back can host even more than that. I've totally seen like 3 birthday parties going on at the same time back there! it was awesome! I scored some free cake! LOL! The service is top notch with a super nice general manager who always manages to come by and say hi. I'm starting to think she recognizes me. I've seriously taken all of my friends to this place since rediscovering it two years ago. To my yelpers, I say: GO! Go now! Get that salsa and enjoy yourself! This place is awesome! read more

ok, so I've been back to this place oh 3 or 4 more times. I love this place! The food is excellent and you can tell by how busy they are that they are obviously doing something right. I recommend the chicken nachos as an appaitizer. I don't know how they make their chicken so flavorful, but it's amazing. It's like charbroilled or grilled, so tasty. The nachos are basically 4 or 5 tostada's cut in half. You get a layer of beans, topped with jalapeno's, cheese and chicken. A side of guacamole and sour cream come with this plate. The chicken chimi enchilada style with the red sauce is beyond words. It's the same chicken used in the nachos. I basically lick the plate clean. I have also tried the shrimp enchiladas - too shrimp tasting for my taste, but my sister -in-law, who's big into seafood really enjoyed them. Comes with a lot of shrimp. The carne asada tacos - were fantastic. If you want really well done Mexican food don't waste your money anywhere else. Just come here. The wait staff is excellent and attentive. read more

In my last few weeks in Phoenix I tried to line up as many restaurants to try as possible, especially hoping to find some worthy Mexican food. I enjoyed my lunch at the Comedor and would gladly return. The spot is huge; a re-purposed event ballroom I'm told. A group of four of us went one Sunday for lunch and though the space was pretty full of families, we were seated within 5 minutes. For lunch I ordered shrimp enchiladas which came four to a plate (corn tortillas) with rice and refried beans. Tasted great, the shrimp were cooked well, not rubbery, and the chile sauce was lightly spicy. One friend ordered the chicken mole, and I had a few bites and would highly recommend it. Admittedly the mole was not spicy enough for either of our tastes, but it was rich and complex, and the chicken was spectacular: so moist and tender, just swimming in the thick sauce. mmmmmmm! Reasonably priced, generous with seating, quick service and solid Mexican fare. read more

I went here based on the Yelp reviews and from recommendations from my husband's co-workers. I won't be returning. I was already skeptical about coming here because of the multiple Yelp reviews mentioning the security guard in the parking lot and the shady part of town that it's located in. My husband and I got the shredded beef tacos and enchiladas. The shredded beef was so dry and overcooked that I only ate half my taco and was over it. The beef enchilada was filled with huge chunks of beef, which were tender but lacking in flavor. The rice and beans were nothing special. oh yeah.... the chips they bring out when you arrive come with tiny bowls of salsa that you can barely dip your chips in because of how small and shallow the bowls are. read more
