Besides that the salsa with chips was very fresh and good on them for having the watery salsa and not the chunky one. The sopa de pollo was incredible, shredded chicken seasoned well and plenty of it, a few carrots and potatoes very soft and a few peppers, plus a fair amount of rice. The soup was great, well seasoned and almost a meal itself by its size. The tilapia de tres entree was way better then expected buried under juicy and tender shrimp and scallops was two large filets of tilapia, I mean seafood portions were very good and the scallops were not cooked into marbles like other places do. The sauce for the dish was best, it was spicy and smoky, way better than a garlic and butter sauce they do for the other seafood dishes. Refried beans were alright and the yellow rice was good, but wish I had more for that smoky sauce. Definitely amazing food and high quality. Nice to have a local spot.

It's just hard to get a good photograph because the lighting is constantly changing. Ivan has been our server a few times already. Today was a rough afternoon for him. He was the only one on, and the way it looked. You would think there were no other restaurants in the area. It was busy! But, being the professional is; he handled it very well. The menu and photographs are on a tablet. Pick out what you like and it comes to the table, it will look exactly like it does in the photograph. The food is very well seasoned, it's not excessively piquant nor spicy. You can taste the main ingredients. Plating is done aesthetically. Portions are more than ample. The dinner plates are imported and made in Mexico. Nice touch. On several occasions, I've seen families there with three generations, enjoying their meal. It's family friendly. Fortaleza has an App and a customer loyalty program. There is a spacious private parking lot in front, and the parking is free.

We found this Mexican restaurant in a small town near Middletown while searching on an app for…read moresomething different. From the outside, it looked like a place that has been around for many years. It's not falling apart, but it definitely feels a bit outdated and like it hasn't been updated in a long time. When we walked in, it was almost empty. There was only one waiter and just one table for four or five people seated. No one else was there, so at first I thought, "uh oh, this might not be good." Surprisingly, the food was actually very good. I ordered the steak fajitas, and compared to many Mexican restaurants, they were using real pieces of meat instead of the cheap cuts you sometimes get. The meat was tender and flavorful. My companion ordered another Mexican dish with the same type of beef, and it was also good. So on the food side, it was a pleasant surprise. The service was fine, but very quiet and a bit dull. The waiter didn't have much energy, almost like he was tired or not very engaged. The place itself also lacked atmosphere. The typical slow Mexican music was playing, nothing lively, and the restaurant just felt empty and without much energy. In the end, the food was good and the service was okay, but the overall vibe felt flat. It's the kind of place you're glad you tried once, but it doesn't really make you excited to come back.

The tamales came out as a tamale roll with the shredded beef on top. Okay I get it, gives the chef more flexibility to serve up pork, chicken, and beef tamales. It's was very good, just a bit odd it wasn't stuffed. But the taste was there and it was tasty and delicious! Then I had the Chayote. First time but definitely not the last! This was Mexican vegetables filled with corn, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and chayote topped with cheese. A chayote is a tasty squash that is a cross between zucchini and cucumber! It's very good and done nicely. All the ingredients are fresh. The guacamole was freshly made and delicious! As was there fresh chips and salsa. Great job. The employees were all very nice also.

I started with a strawberry margarita which had no color to it and hardy tasted like strawberry. I wound up sending it back and noting to the bartender about my concerns. He offered to make me another one but I declined. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. The dish presented nicely and the rice and bean that accompanied the dish was very nice, as was the mole sauce but the chicken was so dry. It may have been boiled but really dry. I should have asked for more mole sauce but I was very hungry and pushed through. I should not have to compromise with this food fare as this is a common dish, nevertheless I did and may not be returning. I know many people who frequent this establishment and I don't think this is the status quo at least I hope not. Maybe they will reach out to me and see if they can make it up.
