    Love this place! Inexpensive, fresh ingredients and most importantly authentic homemade Mexican food!

    Great place, casual so can come in any attire. I've been coming here for years since their previous location. I always bring my friends here whenever they ask for great Mexican food. Very affordable and always fresh food.

    The menu

    No thank you. If I had to describe this Nicamex restaurant, lackluster would be my adjective. I had eggs ranchero style which was nothing more than three hard fried eggs drowned in salsa. It came with lukewarm refried beans and cold bland rice. The highlight of the meal was the spicy salsa. I was the only person in the joint and it took 20 minutes to prepare my meal. I ordered at the desk by the front door and was told I could have a seat at a table near the desk. About five minutes into waiting the guy who took my order walked to the back to talk to the lady that was behind the assembly line. He stayed beck there talking to her for the remainder of the time. She assembled everything and then the gentleman said, " your food is ready", he then continued on talking. My assumption was he was going to bring the food, but I guess he didn't want to interrupt his conversation again. I walked to the back, grabbed my food, and left, never to return again.

    Wow this Gorditas is big

    We stopped in on a whim and honestly weren't expecting much, but were pleasantly surprised from the…read moremoment we pulled into the parking lot. The place was busy, with a steady flow of people coming and going, which is usually a good sign. Once inside, we were greeted right away and the service was incredibly friendly and fast throughout our visit. The atmosphere had the familiar feel of a traditional Mexican restaurant, but with a genuine family owned, mom & pop charm that made it feel welcoming and authentic. I ordered the Mexican steak with jalapeños, while my fiancée went with the flautas. Both dishes were excellent and fresh, flavorful, and well seasoned without being overdone. The steak was cooked just right and had plenty of flavor. My fiancée especially loved the yellow rice and kept talking about it long after we left. Overall, this was one of those unexpected finds that turns into a place you'll want to come back to. Great food, friendly people, and a welcoming atmosphere. It would be worth the hour drive back here from fort lauderdale. We'll definitely be returning.

    I love this place. Lupita you are an amazing server. You've been there so many years and you even…read moreremembered our Dad Scott ! This was his favorite place and he'd go there for years and you remembered him. The food here is amazing. The service is pristine and the ambiance is so authentic just like their food and drinks. Love the quesadillas and tacos. It's definitely our go to. I'm recovering from ACL and meniscus surgery and can hardly sit comfortably but Lupita and staff went out of their way to help me feel comfortable! I'll be back soon.

I'm not going to lie the food has always been good, which is why we kept coming back despite the drive. The waitresses know us by now. It's always me, my mom, and my husband, and if one of the three of us is missing they actually ask where the other person is. That's how regular we are. Because it's a long drive for us, we usually bring a small lunch box with water bottles and Coke Zero for the trip. Today, under the guise of offering us ice for our lunch box, our waitress opened our lunch box, looked through it, and then shook her head at someone else like she was signaling "no, not here." We were honestly stunned. We paid and as we were leaving I told her, "If you wanted to check my lunch box for alcohol, you could have just asked." She immediately started saying "No, no, I was just curious because I want to start driving around with one too," and I told her flat out, "No you weren't." If I wanted to get drunk, I certainly wouldn't pick this place to do it. I have honestly never felt so disrespected. TSA doesn't even go through my bags like that. The rose-colored glasses are officially off. Again, the food is good, but I'm also not blind to the fact that this is a hot trailer on the side of Krome where you're constantly fighting flies around your food while you eat. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants where I can order a Coke Zero in air conditioning, or I can find another food truck,they're a dime a dozen.
