    Regular nachos
    Chesa M.

    Best nachos. The nachos have lots of meat and jalapeños. Tacos are pretty basic, birrias are good too. Service is always nice. It is a little hot in the restaurant, you'll have to go towards the back for air conditioning.

    Half of the steak nachos. Really good portions. Perfect for sharing!

    Please expect to wait, and please do not get upset that you have to do so. This is a smaller establishment with few employees, so it takes a while for you to get your food. We waited more than twenty minutes, but our food didn't come out cold, and I really enjoyed it. Tacos come in two forms: 1) corn tortilla with cilantro and onions and 2) flour tortilla with cheese and lettuce. Steak fajita nachos: these were pretty big so one person can definitely get full off of these. Every chip gets covered in queso; EVEN THE BOTTOM ONES. No complaints there. Plenty of sautéed onions and peppers. I wish they had a salsa for this because they can lack a little in flavor. We had to use what little salsa verde and chipotle salsa leftover for them but it wasn't enough. Tacos al pastor: pretty typical. Not bad but not great. Recommend on corn with cilantro:onion. Shredded chicken taco: on Tuesdays, the chicken and ground beef tacos are 0.99. It's a good deal. I'd recommend them on flour with cheese and lettuce. Fish taco: surprisingly good. It's not fried but they manage to get a beautiful crust on it on the flat top. I recommend them on flour with cheese and lettuce. Tacos de lengua: tied with fish tacos for the best. These also take a trip to the flat top until they're charred. It gives them this beautiful crisp that goes great along with the corn tortilla and cilantro and onion. Cons: not enough salsa given (salsa verde is goooood)

    I found this spot by accident and it was pretty good. The staff aren't super friendly but no big deal. The food is pretty tasty and reasonably priced, great spot if you want to order take out on a chill night.

    Went expecting great things. It was ok. Meat was very fatty. And it was kind of expensive for what you get.

    Every time I travel to the area I pass this restaurant and say, "I need to try this place." Finally…read moregot the chance to try it, and I don't know if the built up anticipation caused me to expect more or the restaurant just didn't meet some minimum standards. The host who sat us was friendly enough. The restaurant is spacious with the expected Mexican decorations. Our table was not clean, and the host didn't notice. I asked the next person who came by to clean it, and she was happy to do it. It gave me hope that this was a minor issue, and we'd enjoy the rest. Unfortunately, it was the least of the issues. The server kept forgetting things we asked for and disappeared. We never got a refill on anything. He came back and apologized, but it seemed disingenuous. We were happy to leave, and unfortunately, we might not return - at least until we forget about this experience. Like: Quesadilla (flavorful steak, but one side did not have any on it); cheese dip (didn't get a refill on chips) Dislike: Hawaiian fajitas (great flavor; steak was tough with gristles); service (kept forgetting things, didn't refill anything, disappeared)

    We ordered take out, so take this with a grain of salt. I ordered the number 4. Tacos Ala Mexicana,…read moreand was disappointed in the amount of meat given the price was $21 for 4 tacos. Probably not worth the cost in my opinion.

We just went 11/29 at about 6:00 and I just don't know what happened to my favorite Mexican restaurant. I'm just so sad and disappointed!! Was it from the recent closing and reopening that things had to change? I just don't know. So when we walked in, it smelled of Fabuloso cleaning product. Why do Mexican restaurants use Fabuloso at all to clean?? Like I knew I would be tasting that while I ate, and I was right. That's all I could smell and taste. Next the table was crusty. They came to clean and what a surprise, Fabuloso. Food was okay. My meat wasn't really hot. The tortilla chips tasted of rank oil. Like the oil they cook the chips in needs to be changed. We didn't even finish the basket and we can eat some chips and salsa. My husband went to the bathroom and he said the bathroom was disgusting. They clearly didn't use the Fabuloso in there. We were in and out in 30 mins. It was the most disappointing meal. Also did take my meat home and when I got home my whole bag and napkins smelled like Fabuloso. I ended up trashing the whole meal. I don't know if I'll go back after this. I'm so sad because I loved this place. And if you're a Mexican restaurant owner, stop using Fabuloso to clean.
