    Juice menu from bakery next door. Fresh juices!
    Ming-Jou C.

    Yummy Mexican food at great prices for the area. I got the mahi mahi tacos for $5 each. K for the nachos with carne asada, and we got the potato tacos for the kiddo. I enjoyed my mahi but the pico de gallo salsa they put on it was way too spicy for me. My husband even said it was too spicy for him on his nachos. My mouth was on fire but the fish was really good. Next door they have fresh juices and a Mexican bakery with cakes and fruit tarts and desserts. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The line was like 8 deep around 1:30 on a Saturday but it goes pretty fast and they make your food after you go down the line. Service was friendly. Would definitely go back but just adjust the salsa accordingly.

    Impressed with the long line of customers ! The orders were made infront of us and it helps we can see through the glass dividers. I love to see it cooked from fresh ingredients! Table seating was great! FIFA was showing and the place was organized and neat, despite of being full and customers in and out. The food was great, serving was generous, love every bite! Price was reasonable and worth it. I will definitely recommend this place if you're in the are!

    Staff: The team here was nice. We came in only for Mexican bread so we only encountered the staff on that side. Quality/Quantity: Wow! Then have a ton of Mexican bread that all remind me of my childhood. All of my favorites for sure. Got 8 to go and they were all fresh, delicious, and a real treat. Value; Fair Overall: I'll so be back.

    Another great visit to this spot These were good: Ceviche tostada Mahi mahi taco Breakfast taco combo: Taco enchilada, Mboth chicken

    Mahi mahi burrito
    Bernadette Y.

    What a delicious place! Went for the first time and got 4 tamales, 2 beef and 2 green chicken, and a mahi mahi burrito. The chicken tamales were quite good. I look forward to trying the green pork - unfortunately, they had ran out by the time I ordered. The beef tamales were good, but didn't seem as filled as the chicken, and not as flavorful. As for the mahi mahi burrito, it was excellent! I ordered it with just rice and guacamole and it was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better burrito. The flavor of the mahi, with the rice and guac was delicious. I definitely think this place is worth a visit. I'll be going the next time I get a burrito craving... or a tamale craving. Or a beef soup craving. Or just Mexican food craving.

    These were hands down the best beef taquitos I've ever had! Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful meat on the inside. It was served fresh and piping hot. I also liked that it's a quick order-and-pay service, which made the whole experience super easy and convenient. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    Shrimp quesadilla
    Sherry T.

    I don't give 1 stars unless things go terribly wrong. Sadly, things did here. You will be treated as a second class citizen if you don't speak Spanish. 1. I was confused by the ordering situation. There's a line to go the Order section at the left. A person will take your order. You then step aside and wait until they call your food at the register. This is where things went wrong since the worker didn't speak English. I know maybe a total of 20 Spanish food-related words but this wasn't helpful. We're in a country where the primary language is English. If you work in a customer-facing role, you should at least know the basic English words for your job. If you don't, then let people order via a list, online, or point at photos. I asked if they had soup since I came for pozole. The sign said they only had it on the weekends and one of the workers said this too---or so they said. 2. Once my food was finished, the cashier confirmed my food. One order was made wrong so the worker had to remake it correctly. That was fine and made me wait longer as the dinner rush went on. You could see the chaos as everyone was running around filling orders. 3. Finally after having been there for half an hour, the order was finished so I could pay, but lo and behold, my first order that was set to the side disappeared. They offered to remake it, but I was done waiting. 4. I saw other orders had soup when they told me it was sold out for the day. Quelle surprise. At the end, the sad thing is that my one completed dish of shrimp quesadilla tasted good. The shrimp was well-seasoned with cilantro and a spicy sour cream. I can't come back here despite the cheap prices over this lack of customer service. I got one pithy "sorry" from the cashier as I left. You could have made up for this with goodwill with a free small food item or discount for my next visit. Sadly, I will warn anyone who doesn't speak Spanish to not come here. I went to El Campeon after since I was so unhappy that I didn't get the enchiladas from my disappeared meal where the ordering process and customer service were far better and what this place should have been.

    Fish taco, carnitas taco and a horchata
    Kevin L.

    The taco was large and packed with meat. The fish taco is made of mahi mahi and have a good fish flavor. The horchata has a rich flavor and not water down. The pork was lean. Salsa was not self service and the cashier will hand it out.

    Authentic Mexican fast service dishes. One of the local gems that have been in the area for years

    I came in here to look for my favorite Mexican candy called camote or tecamote but they don't have any, unfortunately. It's a cute market and taqueria. Everyone is very friendly!

The chicken tacos were VERY big, I came hungry and I have a large appetite to say the least and one of those tacos itself was pretty filling. Both salsas on it were delicious (they offer a red and green one)! I also threw on a little bit on onion, cilantro and rice and it was even better. Easily the best taco I have ever had. The quesadilla had the best chew on it that is hard to describe in words.....it was slightly crispy on the outside yet a little soft and the flavor on the cheese that was so perfect. The cheese even had that melted and chewy feel to it that just makes your head want to explode because it can't comprehend how something could be so good. The taquitos were so nice and crispy and had such a pleasant blend of all the flavors it packs in its shell, you really get all of them in each bite. They are so generous with their portions in it and fill up the tray all the way to the top. This place is a gift, run here don't walk.

Plenty of seating, they had indoor and outdoor. They also had a large bar with indoor and outdoor seating as well that was first come first serve and since we had to wait for table, we decided to go into the bar. We were greeted quickly and given chips and salsa and waters. The service was delightful from bussers to the bartender to the waiter ... just outstanding. Very attentive! We opted to order fresh guac, which was made at our table and absolutely delicious pairing with the chips and salsa. It was wonderful. We also shared the chicken fajitas. They were cooked well although I could've used a little more seasoning and came with our choice of corn or flour tortillas along with beans and rice as a side.

He also had leftovers. He ordered the pancakes with egg. Both platters are a good size portion. The staff is friendly and the establishment is clean. Total for both plates with only water was $42. I did feel like this Mexican restaurant was a little pricier than others I've been into, but again you do get good size portions.
