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.

The wait help are courteous, nice and cheery, and we see other patrons talking to them before departing, complete with hugs! I can say in all confidence that the food served here will never be that muck others enjoy going elsewhere to "eat", you know, that food is has little taste, has all that good artificial stuff that's bad for you and will eventually put you on the road to the extreme care of a hospital!

The gorgeous hand-painted murals throughout the restaurant create an authentic and inviting dining experience. We enjoyed the Tacorito special, which arrived hot and was absolutely delicious. My partner ordered the four Verde Enchiladas, and while they had a pleasant tanginess, they were packed with good flavor. Located just up the street from Niagara Falls, this restaurant is a perfect stop after a day of sightseeing. We were in Canada celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, and the staff made our afternoon extra special. They surprised us with delicious sangria and a personally signed anniversary card--a thoughtful gesture that meant so much to us. The outstanding food, beautiful ambiance, and genuine hospitality made this the perfect ending to our day in Canada. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Niagara Falls area.

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.

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 ordered the shrimp fajita to share. First a platter with refried beans, some lettuce salad, pico de gallo, Spanish rice, sour cream and a small scoop of guacamole was brought out. The wraps(3)came out wrapped in foil. Then the sizzling hot platter came out. There were a good number of nicely seasoned shrimp with sautéd peppers and onions, both red and green bell peppers, so quite colorful. The negative was that there was no serving utensil on either the platter with the rice, etc. or the sizzling one. Our waiter was very busy getting out the orders for the rest of our group, se we made due with our forks. A spoon would have made things much easier. By the way, the menu says one complimentary serving of chips and salsa, then a charge for refills. We were a table of eleven; our waiter brought out three bowls of chips and carafes of salsa. In looking around the table, and our friends' empty plates, I think a follow up trip might be necessary.

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.

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.
