Their decor was good and they have tv playing in the background and music playing out loud. Our waiter was very nice and very quick. We ordered a Chicken empanada, Chipotle Shrimp tacos and Flautas. The Chipotle Shrimp tacos were a special they were having. They were okay, but wouldn't order it again. I think I didn't like the cheese sauce with the shrimp. Everyone is different. The rice and beans were very good and the Flautas were good. We weren't too impressed with the Chicken Empanada. Although we didn't have drinks, I noticed they have a nice bar and many patrons were ordering a variety of drinks. I hope to visit again soon to try out something more traditional and possibly drinks!

The highlight of the meal was definitely the churros with chocolate, they were excellent and easily the star of the meal. My enchiladas were also very good. However, I felt that both the rice and the pico de gallo lacked flavor. The rice could have used a bit more seasoning, and the pico de gallo would have benefited from some salt and lime. One thing that took away from the experience was the music. If you understand Spanish, some of the reggaeton songs being played contained language that was not very pleasant to hear while dining. Given the restaurant's theme, I think more traditional Mexican music would create a more enjoyable atmosphere. We visited before attending a concert, and while the service was great and the churros were outstanding, the food and atmosphere left room for improvement. Update: Adding because I forgot before that the chicken fingers were terrible and this was confirmed by the 2 chicken fingers eaters 7 and 9 year old and mom.

She remembered everyone's orders (without writing anything down) except my daughter's (ordered a cheese quesadilla & got grilled cheese). I didn't say anything because it was a 50/50 of her eating it anyway. We got the baby chimichangas for an app & they were pretty good! My husband enjoyed his enchilada meal and I loved my crispy chicken salad. The avocado on my salad was fresh & abundant & the fresh bacon was a nice addition, too. The portions were large and I left full. There were 7 of us eating and it seems they brought food out as it was made which meant no one's meal got cold. We would rather be served that way anyway. The only complaint was at the end of the meal, we declined dessert & asked for the check but the waitress disappeared. We didn't get the check for a long time, which would have been fine if the table was only adults. But we had two kids who were turning into pumpkins. Overall, I'd definitely go back and maybe try an alcoholic drink.

Located in the Canal District, Mexitown Bar & Grill opened recently serving up Mexican fusion fare…read moreand a full cocktail bar. They also have happy hour specials (4pm to7pm) and Taco Tuesday ($20 AYCE in a 60 minute time frame). The place has a modern dining atmosphere with tables & booth seating and seating up at tte full service bar with flatscreen TV. The background music is very loud. I stopped by Mexitown for a late evening dinner, just after 9pm when on-street parking becomes free. The place wasn't too busy on a Thursday night and I was able to seat myself at an open table. There are QR codes at each table to scan for menu. The server brought out a glass of ice water and I placed my order for the Tacos (Chicken) Al Pastor ($20 plus tax) with rice & beans, which was served in 10 minutes. The 3 soft shell corn tortillas were filled with tender grilled marinated strips of pastor chicken & diced pinapple, pico de gallo & sour cream on the side. The Mexican rice was very soft with traces of peas and green beans. The beans had a salty flavor. After I was done, I requested the check which was $21.40 with tax and before tip. Overall, the tacos were pretty good tasting, but also having lettuce & cheese on the tacos would've been great. If I was hungry, I would've ordered the churros rellenos for dessert. The service here was adequate with one server taking care of three tables. I would give this place another visit to try out other food on the menu like cerviche, enchiladas, and fajitas.

Torito Mexican Restaurant (Lincoln St.) ​Rating: (and a…read morenap) ​If you are looking for a quiet, low-key evening where you can hear your own thoughts, stay away from the Fajitas at Torito. I ordered the steak and chicken combo, and I'm pretty sure they didn't bring it out on a plate--they brought it out on a tectonic plate. The sizzle was so loud I had to use hand signals to communicate with my date for the first three minutes. I felt like a celebrity entering a press conference, except instead of camera flashes, I was being blinded by delicious, onion-scented steam. ​The fajitas are phenomenal. The meat was so tender I'm convinced the chef sings it lullabies before it hits the grill. ​The Margarita Situation ​Then, let's talk about the Margaritas. I don't know what kind of structural engineering goes into these things, but they absolutely rock. ​Size: Somewhere between "Large" and "Fishbowl." ​Potency: One sip and I forgot my middle name; two sips and I was ready to audition for a Mariachi band. ​Taste: Perfectly balanced. Not that neon-green syrup you find at the grocery store, but the real deal. ​The Verdict ​By the time I finished, I was 40% salsa and 60% fajita by body weight. If you see someone rolling down Lincoln Street like a human burrito later tonight, mind your business--that's just me living my best life. ​Pro Tip: Wear your "eating pants" (the ones with the elastic waistband). You're going to need the extra room.
