I was surprised that it was not fried like I've seen so many times, but in a nice soft tortilla with a cheese sauce on top. I ordered the rice and beans as a side and for some reason, they weren't my favorite, but hubby liked them! He ordered the lunch beef burrito and commented on how fresh it was. Next time in I would love to try some of the seafood dishes! Glad we stopped and gave them a try on our travels through Columbia.

I ordered #11 from the combo list: 1 chile relleno, 1 enchilada, beans and rice. When the food came…read moreout, the plate was burning hot but the chile relleno was ice cold in the middle. I brought it to their attention and they corrected it and brought out a whole new meal, but practically overcorrected as the second chile relleno was extremely mushy. The chicken enchilada was fine, but I would not recommend getting a combo with a chile relleno as you won't know what you'll get. The service was fine to start with, but by the end of the meal I was feeling we were being rushed. Mid-bite, our server asked if we'd like a box, not even close to finishing our meals. First impression overall was a pretty average Mexican place, nothing special.

The Good: The staff was extremely friendly. And the prices were competitive…read more The Bad: The food was only so-so. Not remotely Mexican. Taqueria sure, but not Mexican. The cooks did what they could with what they had but it still just was ok at best and not worth the price. The Ugly: The place was devoid of drinks. According to one of the staff they had not gotten their soda order in. But, they also had NONE of their bar drinks or mixer drinks. You can see that the picture has all of it clean and not used in the middle of the lunch day. They also were out of various ingredients to make some of the dishes. While this is occasionally the fault of just not knowing what you need by the manager that does the ordering... it is normally a bigger problem and one that points to a place that is financially failing. I hope that I am wrong and that they were just having an off day. The other reviews seem to point toward a fairly good restaurant so hopefully someday I'll be able to adjust this review.

A friend and I were in from out of town. A quick search and we found this place that was nearby. My…read morefirst impression of the place was it looked like maybe 20 years about it was a good place. The menu on the wall looked like it had been there for a while and may or may not be up to date. Staff seemed like they didn't care if you were there or not. The only drinks they had available was fountain water or a handful of bottled drinks in the fridge. They have a soda fountain but said that had not gotten their delivery. None of the drink mix machines had anything in them either. I ordered the Nachos with Carnitas, Chips were on the well done size and had some white melted cheese poured over them and the meat, that was it. No other toppings, flavors were alright.

My son and I just really…read morewanted some Mexican food, and he remembered walking by this place downtown with his friends and said it smelled amazing. So off we went! I'll have to admit, it does smell amazing outside. The enticing smell draws you in and the hospitality keeps you. The dining room is small but they have ample outdoor seating. On this day it was raining though so the dining room was filling quickly. We ordered two large horchatas, four Mexican style tacos (two chorizo and two carnitas). A Cheese quesadilla and Quesabirria Tacos. Our food came very quickly and I have to say, it was so good!! my only suggestion is everything needed more salt, however, I know everybody's salt preferences are different so it wasn't a big deal to just add salt to my dinner. I'm also sad they didn't have Pozole. One of my all-time favorite Mexican soups... or even Albondigas. Therefore, my search for a good Mexican soup continues. It was a little pricey, about $50 for two people, however the second most expensive thing was those big Horchata's... and honestly, they were worth it! This was definitely a big hit for us, and we will most definitely be back.

Even the onions and tomatoes were perfect. My fiancé doesn't even like onions/tomatoes, and he still loved it! - Carnitas tacos (4/5): these were good but not amazing. It came with red salsa on top. Rice and beans were great. We will definitely recommend this place to everyone, because authentic Mexican/Peruvian food is hard to find around here! 5 stars because the lomo saltado was that good!
