I came across this place through Yelp, and thought we should give it a try as their reviews looked good. So glad we came here! The workers were nice! The inside was although was on the smaller side, had plenty of seating as well seating outside with I believe 2 or 3 picnic tables. We ordered: 3 Birria Tacos- this was our favourite. The inside was filled with lots of meat and the consome was refreshing. 3 traditional taco (fish, chicken and pork)- pie favourite was the pork. They were filled generously and had lots of flavour. This is definitely worth the drive even if you live far out.

The person who took our…read moreorder over the phone was very friendly, but that's about all this place has going for them unfortunately. We ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl (risky, but it sounded so good so we took a chance). Not amazing but decent flavors and seemingly fresh. We also ended up with 5 different types of tacos, listed in order from best to worst: fish, chorizo, al pastor, cauliflower/black bean, and classic ground beef. The fish was the best by far. A little dry and could have used a touch of salt but overall good flavors and textures. The ground beef was inedible. Our kids LOVE beef tacos and would hardly touch them. When I tried a bite I literally spit it out (like a child, I know, but it was that bad). All the other tacos were fine. Nothing good or bad enough to note. The tacos came with rice and refried black beans. The rice was alright. The black beans were like a thick scoop of cookie dough. Ok in flavor but thick and dry and pasty and pretty unappetizing to look at. I would like to note, however, that we probably should have expected this, as I've never heard of a Mexican named Hugo. Next morning update: my husband and I have each had multiple bathroom trips (we'll just leave it at that ... ), and our children, who refused to eat the food, have had none. Pretty sure that says it all.

But it was a Saturday night and they only appeared to have two front-of-house staff so we felt badly asking for anything. I do not believe they currently have a liquor license yet. Not sure if it's something they are pursuing. Like I said, food was extremely tasty.... However, and this is a big however... portions were not reasonable to price. Prices were on the high side of average for a night out, but not uncalled for... portions on adult food were a little smaller than typical, but the food tasted fresh so I gave it a pass. Kids plates were soooo unreasonably small, especially for the price. Would likely go back for lunch, probably not as a dinner.

The chips and salsa are always fresh, the guacamole is always on point, even for someone like me who generally doesn't eat it much, and the carne asada tacos are the real deal, served with fresh pico and a solid side of rice and beans. If you're in the Niagara Falls area and want a great Mexican meal with genuine hospitality, give this place a shot.

When I went inside to pick it up, I noticed the space was decorated with colorful Mexican accents and had a warm, welcoming feel. Everything looked clean and well kept, which I always appreciate. Service was quick and the pickup process was smooth. I ordered the chicken tacos and guacamole. The guacamole was made in a way I have never had before, and I actually really enjoyed it. It had a different twist that worked well. The chicken tacos were good. If I am being picky, I usually prefer pulled chicken on my tacos, but I still enjoyed them overall. It was a nice, quick stop and I am glad we decided to grab food here while passing through.

We asked for more as we finished them before our entrees arrived. I later found out that the extra chips and salsa were not complimentary, which I feel like is different from most Mexican restaurants? The burrito entrees were very good. I had one chicken and one beef burrito. I thought the chicken was the better of the two, but also enjoyed the beef burrito. I had a bite of the beef tip burrito and it was also quite good. I would definitely come back again.

The owner stopped by the table and conversed a few other times he was walking by. Their complimentary chips and salsa are heavenly. The chips have a southwest seasoning of sorts, and the salsa is not your typical salsa... but a few bars above. We also ordered queso. It was TO DIE FOR. I need to go back already for more chips and dip. My fiancé ordered the tacos... his three were carne asada, adobo grilled shrimp, and the pork belly. He struggled to pick a favorite. He loved the sauce on the pork belly, and decided the carne asada was his favorite. I went with the shrimp fajitas. Very good sized meal. The shrimp were delicious. The Mexican rice was a bit different than usual Mexican rice... seemed more like a blend of other grains, and instead of your typical refried beans, they were just straight up pinto. LOTS of food. We went home beyond stuffed, and still wanting more chips.

It looked like there were only about 3 tables seated at the time and a few people at the bar. The restaurant has a cool vibe with bright colors and a VW bus in the middle that you can sit in! So neat! We chose to sit outside on the patio, which was a nice option to have. Once seated we were brought our menus and shortly there after complimentary chips and salsa. We each ordered a drink, one was a non-alcoholic grapefruit jalapeno refresher and the other was an alcoholic watermelon basil margarita. The NA one unfortunately didn't have any heat or flavor at all of the jalapeno in the actual drink, but it was ok. My friend enjoyed his watermelon drink, but only had one because it was a bit sweet. We ordered the Pozole Rojo, shrimp taco trio and shrimp fajitas. The Pozole Rojo was great and definitely my favorite part of the meal. It had a lot of pork in it and I enjoy the hominy corn, which you don't see on many menus. My friend really enjoyed the shrimp as did I; it was very well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The beans that came with the fajita were quite bland, which was disappointing. All in all, I would give them another shot.
