    Tostilocos
    Viana R.

    So this spot has been my go to for really late night meals for months now. At first I was actually ordering the quesadillas and empanadas but after a while i gravitated towards the tostilocos and large fruit box. And the short version is the quality has gone way down in my opinion.. Because I have gravitated towards the fruit and tostilocos my review is about those two items specifically. The other night when I ordered these two items they really just fell flat in my opinion. The tostilocos is supposed to have cueritos, cucumber, jicama, lime juice, hot sauce, chamoy, tajin Chile and Japanese peanuts. What I've been getting the past 3 times I've ordered this is everything minus the cucumber and Japanese peanuts. At first I thought 'they must be out of the peanuts and that's why they put regular peanuts' but as I've ordered the same item multiple times now over the course of a month It seems they've made the switch from the Japanese peanuts to regular while still advertising the Japanese. It's not a huge deal of course but I find that the Japanese peanuts add a really good contrasting crunch to everything else so it's disappointing to not get it time after time. Japanese peanuts also cost more than regular peanuts so if they're making the change then the cost should go down as well, but it's stayed the same. Specific to this last time for the tostilocos as shown in my pictures, it looks like they just dump the cueritos straight from the jar into the tray now. It's absolutely SLIMEY on the bottom, just a thick layer of slime under everything, it was completely off putting. At first I thought I was being over dramatic, but even my husband couldn't eat it after seeing all that clear goop at the bottom. The second item I've been buying for months now while watching the quality deteriorate is the fruit box. Normally the fruit is is fresh, perfect sized pieces and juicy. What I've been getting lately is....not. My absolute favorite part of this box is that even though it costs $14 you can add as many different fruits as you want and the cost doesn't fluctuate! This has been amazing because I load it up with all kinds of fruit and if they don't have something they just don't add it. The cost stays the same though, there's pros and cons but considering they've always had the fruit I want it's worked for me. My issue now stems from them including the mango when it's not even close to ripe. Idk if it's not in season or what but if that's the case- REMOVE IT. I posted a photo of my last order of the fruit box and you can clearly see on the left side is ALL UNRIPE MANGO. That's 1/3 of the box by itself!! So I'm getting charged $14 now for large chunks of fruit I can't eat instead of them just removing it like they used to and adding extra of the fruit that is ripe. I hope the quality of these two items goes back up because these are the two things that have me placing those late night orders often!

    I got Carne Asada Tacos, small quesabirria tacos, spicy corn and Empanadas!  10/10!! Food came fast and delicious

    I'm not sure if this is how they always operate. Unfortunately for me, lol it took me 3 hours to get 2 orders of empanadas, then when it's dropped off ... it's only 1 order. Yeah they gave me more sour cream than food. Not sure if they had a bad day, or a rough 2021.... This is not the way to bring in new year

    Regular fruit box with watermelon (seeds), pineapple, mango, cantaloupe, jicama, chamoy and Valentina - very sweet & good,

    Review for the quesabirria tacos (2 small and 1 regular size ) and regular fruit box with chamoy and Valentina through doordash. Really good! I have been on a quesabirria quest and so far have tried them at 5 places. This was second best, almost the best on the list. The fruit was definitely the best, you can never find that through delivery services too! Quesabirrria tacos- the small one its only a little smaller than the regular but it has two corn shells instead of one. I preferred the regular. The meat was really flavorful and tender, not dry, that stood out to me right away. Good ratio of cheese to meat and onions. Consume- I wish it came with the quesabirria tacos but that's ok, really good flavor, came piping hot and not too salty . yum I got the 8oz (which was plenty for my food) but will get larger next time so I can have some for breakfast the next day! Regular fruit box- with mango, jicama, pineapple, cantaloupe melon, watermelon, (had seeds) chamoy and Valentina, good amount of sauce (not too much or too little) . The fruit was SO SWEET , I was really impressed. Good amount too. Lots of salsas and limes were a plus too! I wish I had gotten a side of chips for the leftover salsa. Will definitely come back. I am looking forward to trying other things.

    Carnitas tacos and horchata Soooo good

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it.

I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

Unfortunately inflation and the economy has changed the prices and food sizes, but at least it still tastes good. Some of my favorites here over the years have been the salmon tacos, Esquites, Enchiladas De Camarone and suizas, and the bacon guac. I used to not bat an eye and order whatever I wanted, but now I do have to think a little bit more so that the bill doesn't get too high.

The prices are high, but hopefully all their people are making a good living and the portions are enough for our appetites at least. I had the shrimp enchiladas, and my wife had the vegetarian tacos with a side order of scrambled eggs. There was nearly a mixup as the waiter thought we wanted to order an egg taco and that's considerably more expensive but we got it straightened out with the maitre D. We also shared a Paloma cocktail with which has a pretty color and delightful taste.

This made it so seamless to reserve here. Our group got there at opening and our table was ready and most of the group was already seated when we got there. Drink orders were flowing as the waitress caught up to me and I got a cafe de olla. We browsed the menu and the more I looked the harder it was to pick one thing. I ended up choosing chilaquiles with a bandera sauce and carne asada as the added protein. The rest of the table got all different types of dishes from carne en su jugo to birria to omelettes. While we enjoyed each other's company sipping on our cafecito I enjoyed the ambiance of the space. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Since it was opening time it wasn't as loud as I imagine it can get in there. The sun did shine on the faces of those facing the windows which was not enjoyable for them. There was no way to cover the sun either since it was coming in from the top windows with no shade. My food came out along with the rest of the plates and we went right in to enjoy them. My favorite chilaquiles was covered in the white sauce. The red and green were good but the white sauce was my favorite. The carne was cooked well but I could taste it wasn't marinated or lacked flavor. I didn't get a knife to cut the meat so it was very difficult to enjoy a piece with my chilaquiles. It was hard to cut with a butter knife. I thought it would be a piece of steak but it was a piece of carne asada. Eggs were scrambled and cooked well. The whole plate was filling, had flavor, and was a good portion. The cafe de olla had a good flavor but a tad sweet for my preference. The space in here is a vibe. A fun place to enjoy large gatherings. I came for breakfast but will update when I come back to visit for dinner. Bathrooms are clean. Staff was welcoming and efficient in taking care of our group. Hospitality was a 10/10. Parking in the am was a breeze but at prime time I can see it being a complete nightmare so plan accordingly. I enjoyed my visit and will come back to check out the dinner menu.
