    Fajita (chicken, steak and shrimp)
    Arisa L.

    My husband and I visited the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon (around 12:30) and the place was empty. The service was fast and friendly. The music was blasting way too loud, I could barely hear my husband sitting right across the table in an empty restaurant. They have ample parking and the restaurant was big and clean (didn't go to the bathroom though). The chips we got in a beginning were a bit dry. Although I didn't take a picture, he had a burrito and loved it. I ordered the fajita (picture) and I didn't like it too much. It was under seasoned and bland. The biggest surprise was that the soda cost $4.50 each (so $9 just for 2 pops). It was a fountain soda and I think it's a bit too overpriced.

    Taco loco
    Rebecca M.

    The service was friendly. They were not prompt at all. I ended up getting up to request my check after a while. They had some sort of live music. It was festive for sure however it was very very loud! I ordered the taco loco. It was HUGE! The taste was just . A friend ordered the chimichanga with lobster it was really really good! Perfectly flakey.

    Tostada with fish, shrimp, octopus, avocado, pico de gallo, and lime and a piña colada. The seafood was very fresh.

    Furnace restaurant. It's very clean and I can tell the food is freshly prepared. I've been here twice and it's as good as the seafood that I ate in Cancun Mexico.

    Chicken Chimichangas with Beans, Cheese Dip and nachos.

    Food is awesome. My favorite for Mexican food Also got ala carte cheese enchiladas with onion. Tex mex reminds me of old time places like Don Pablo's and Casa Gallardos

    Sex on the beach
    Samantha F.

    Very good food, loved the lights! The sex on the beach was to die for but it was a little on the loud side. So make sure you are into that vibe. Our waitress was very night and quick paced for being busy. I absolutely enjoyed every bit of dinner. Would eat again

    Enchiladas Supremas
    Jessica A.

    The food was just ok. Their presentation is everything! LOOKS great but tastes bland. Very friendly service. They have Spanish culture karaoke. It's extremely loud. Good thing we just chose to eat outside. Very good vibes overall. One could definitely feel like they've traveled somewhere on vacation by being there.

    Service is always fast and the staff is very friendly. The food is very consistent and a great place to grab a quick lunch!

    We were very intrigued by the rating 4.8 stars (highest in the area) and read some of the reviews…read more We also were initially concerned by the first impression of this place; the place did not look open nor did it have any other customers. But Jafet greeted us with a friendly and polite manner and gave us a lot of information about the Mexican version of the cuisine (surprise!). We were impressed with the Michelada (with mango chamoy and dusting of Tajin) and Mezcalita (Mezcal with pineapple). So good. Step aside, Margarita! (Also not that popular or usual in Mexico) We ordered the Tacos Dorado and the recommended Mexico City Taco ("House Special") that had steak, refried beans, pickled cactus, and fries, wrapped in corn tortillas. We are amazed. Thank you Jafet, we will back for more Friday tacos!

I pull up and the parking lot is empty. Hmmm. Looks like an old Rax roast beef spot. Inside it had a festive vibe with a Mexican mix tape playing over the speakers. The gentleman takes my order and grab a booth. He takes your order and makes your food fresh! Fajita nachos Al Pastor with a Victoria beer. The Victoria draft came out in a frosty mug and it was cold cold. Yes!! As I'm waiting for my food, more customers start coming in. Made me feel better lol. I swear the music playing is a recording of a DJ at a wedding lol. Out come the nachos and they look amazing. He also brings a little stand for my cell phone so I can eat and watch YouTube. Never have I had that offered to me at any restaurant. His hustle, service and smile was appreciated. The nachos were really good. The marinated pork, cheese sauce, fresh chips, chunks of pineapple, sour cream and salsa verde just came together well. Bonus points for the cheese sauce. Not to mention I watched him prepare everything thru the glass counter. He's back there having fun then brings your food out with a smile. Love it. If it were super busy I don't know how he would keep up, but I appreciate his hustle. Yelp, your recommendation didn't disappoint. This was different than your typical sit down, chips and salsa, margarita special, blah blah experience. This was Cozumel in June, cruising around in the side-by-side, Oh look a cool roadside taco spot with an open center courtyard type of vibe. Minus the open courtyard. Check them out!

We have been loyal customers for…read moremore than 30 years following them as WE moved then they relocated to the Polaris area and yet we prioritize eatting at this family owned small business We visited on the perfect June day. Clouds are threatening rain but the day is in the 70's and inside/outside patio doors are open. After a warm greating, we were seated and our favorite chips and salsa were delivered . We are off to a great start! The salsa is house made with chunks of tomato, onion, peppers sourced from New Mexico and other spices that come together perfectly. This is one of those things you want a day old - it gives the flavors a chance to deepen and is the best salsa EVER. Our son joined us for lunch (which was a treat for us). BUT he is deeply committed to their kid's Mac & Cheese. (SMH) and the chips and salsa. Dont blame us; he was raised better than that! Hubs and I ordered the Lunch Shredded Beef Burrito. (Our favorite meal at Chili Verde.). The beef is fork tender and so flavorable. Wrapped in a fresh tortilla and served with your choice of red or green sauce on top. We opted to use that awesome salsa to top our burtito tableside. Lunch burritos include one side. Rice and beans are the default options but I ordered the corn and hubs ordered the mashed potatoes. Dinner includes 2 sides and a larger burrito. The mashed potatoes are hand-mashed with a few chunks here and there and lightly spiced. These potatoes are a family favorite. The corn is whole kernals seasoned with onions and bacon and lightly sweetened. This is my all time go-to! Hubs also recommends the pinto beans. Served as a whole bean served in a little gravy/liquid; the side dish is peppery and yummy. The secret is out about this restaurant and it is always busy. I recommend making a reservation through open table before you visit. I posted pics of today's lunch including our empty plates that we easily could have licked clean!

We each had different dishes-- Green Chile Stew, Three Sisters (I asked for a combo of chorizo and beef and they said, "Of course!"), Sandia Sopapilla with shredded beef. All were excellent and were attractively plated-- it wouldn't have mattered, but it was those little extras that really elevated the experience. We were also given a bowl of their latest salsa to try-- sweet and mildly spicy watermelon! We are regulars here and always enjoy the food and the pleasant ambiance, but this brunch was truly exceptional. We ended our meal with a plate of puffy Sopapillas with honey to share. Delicious! **This is New Mexican and NM-inspired food, not the same as Mexican or Tex-Mex.** If you're not familiar with it, you may ask for samples of sauces and meats before you order! NM cuisine is less about piles of cheese and taco shells and more about the flavors of their regional peppers (which they fly in fresh here!). It's a blend of Mexican, Spanish and Pueblo Indigenous foods, not American-Mexican. And yes, you still get great chips & salsa, but you're going to want to pass on the refills to make room for the stars of the meal-- the e
