    Fajita Salad Chicken Salad

    Last night's deliciousness. Uber-ate last night; we order from them quite often, and the food is usually devoured before I have a chance to get photos. The taste, price-point, portion size for the price-point-- all, on point!

    Chicken Chimichangas

    I debated for a while about this review and giving it either a 2 or 3 as it was more of a 2.5. Service was slow and the waitress didn't come back to check on us between taking our order and bringing out our food. They only had two tables in the dining room including the one we were occupying. She was busy with doing to-go orders but it would have been nice for her to check on us. Margarita was large but not very strong! Now the food was fine. I got the grilled chicken which came with tortillas (corn or flour), rice and beans, and a salad. The dressing that came with the salad was good. The chicken was seasoned well and made a nice little taco. I gave my beans to my husband as I'm not a refried beans fan and he loved them. Rice was delicious! Husband has one beef and one chicken chimichanga. It came with rice, salad and guacamole. It was all good.

    The place wasn't fancy but it was authentic. Great portions and flavorful. With a mixture of Latin food and decor, the most pronounced flavor was Central American. It was lunch time and we saw many people pick up or workers have their lunch meal there. Our waitress was Spanish speaking and pretty fast. I ordered a very tasty chicken salad and it didn't disappoint with its generous portion and even with a generous sour cream scoop on top. I wanted to try the Peruvian option but they no longer had the pollo a la huancaina available and that day they didn't have any pisco which is one of my favorite alcoholic beverages to have when it's on the menu. You won't leave here hungry and they make sure of that by even having a little Spanish super market right next door. Super affordable place to go to if you are hungry and want something rich in taste :) Enjoy !

    Best Latin food in Williamsburg. We eat here every trip to Williamsburg, which for us is once per year. Always great food, friendly service a great prices. Don't pay extra for the bigger places, get authentic delicious food a great price.

    Food had a great taste. Service slow. Peruvian chicken is 8 out of 10 Overall is a good place to eat and have fun.

    Pupusas

    We went for lunch but didn't want to get their buffet so we looked at their rather extensive menu. Decided on Torta lengua for hubby and 3 different pupusas for me, chicharron, lochorro which is a Mexican flower with queso, and chicken with mozzarella. The chips with salsa were standard but when asked for the hot salsa they did provide a good one. Pupusas were greasy and rather flat, especially the chicharron one. The benies were the authentic atmosphere as most of the clients were Mexican and Mexican music was playing as well as the server being obviously either Mexican or Latin American. Horchata was served so that was delightful to see. Next door is a grocery store selling Mexican goods. We stopped in and purchased a couple of items.

    Located in a strip mall it will look shady but looks are deceiving! Trusted my Yelpers with the 4 star reviews and it lived up to the rating. Food was fresh and meat was all seasoned perfectly! The beef nachos were really good and my fajita burrito was on point!

    The food was delicious. The only thing we didn't like was that our table was dirty and we had to sit on one side of the booth. They need to hire more people to clean other then the two we saw. Other then that, customer service was amazing and the one girl that was handling everything, was quick. She didn't come back to ask us if we wanted anything but that makes sense because she had to handle other things. Get more help. But the food, DELICIOUS!

    They recently released a new menu and I was super excited for it but most of the dishes fell short…read moreas well as the customer service! The one standout was their take on a Crunchwrap supreme (their take from Taco Bell and it was good! The chalupas were burnt and hardly had any meat in both of them The chicken was good but when I mentioned that it was overly fried the man behind the counter did not care at all and just looked at me. I just ate the little bit of meat out of it, couldn't even eat the shell! Not worth $8 for one! The other taco was a chicken mole and it wasn't bad but for most street tacos they give you two tortillas to hold it all together. Only one and it all fell apart. Will not be returning!

    It was adequate but nothing to write home about…read more Mainly I question the value. We were visiting from DC, which is objectively a more expensive area, and yet the price per taco was higher than individual tacos at our favorite taco chain in DC, especially for the shrimp and, especially curiously, the cauliflower. And then the portions of shrimp and cauliflower in those tacos was pretty disappointing. Also, very fried. Nachos and quesadillas seemed like a better value than tacos so, while my husband got the aforementioned tacos, I got the nachos without any added protein. Much better value - huge portion at a small price. Some odd choices though. There was an appropriate amount of cheese (beer cheese, which seemed appropriate given its location inside a beer hall) but a really small amount of other toppings (beans, corn, pico I think?) relative to the huge amount of raw jalapeño slices. The dish relies really heavily on jalapeño for flavor and freshness, and I like jalapeño, but these woud be more appropriately described as "jalapeño and cheese on chips" than nachos, IMO. If you love raw jalapeño you'll be in heaven but for those who are accustomed to jalapeños being an accent, this is A LOT. It was like the primary ingredient after chips, even above cheese. All in all, it's fine if you're in the area and want tacos or need food with your beer but is it somewhere I would go out of my way to visit? Probably not.
