    Torta del pollo
    Giovanni C.

    Torta de milensa pollo, OMGAAAAAA!!! Delicious!! The place is a hole in the wall but the sandwich! The chicken had some much good flavors on top of the combination of cheese, ham, avocado... heaven!!! Don't over order, sandwich was huge!!!! Cash only!!!! Taco Al pastor were blah! Nothing really special happening there, go with the torta!

    Fried talapia .. It was sizzling upon arrival!

    I've been here 3 times. First was an order for To-go. I had ordered three potato taquitos. I was disappointed they gave me a chicken taquito since I am a Pescatarian. But an honest mistake is ok. The second and third visits were for dining in and customer service were superb. i had the same waitress on both occasion. The staffs here speaks mostly Spanish, I need to polish up on my Spanish again. I highly recommend the fried whole talapia fish, guacamole with chips, and freshly squeezed orange juice.

    I live this kind of Mexican!

    Huge variety of Mexican food, which is hard to find in this area. Selection of hot sauce, green sauce and pico de gallo served with chips! Real Mexican really good.

    Pastor and sausage tacos are good tasting. The sausage tacos are a bit greasy and chicken a bit dry. Reasonably priced and quick.

    Unlike any other Mexican restaurant I've visited before. The restaurant is beautifully decorated…read moreand the food is nothing short of amazing. The staff/service were so welcoming. Definitely my new favorite restaurant for Mexican cuisine.

    I honestly can't believe how much this restaurant has declined. This used to be one of my favorite…read moreplaces, but after my most recent visit, I don't see myself ever coming back. The menu may be the same, but the food is not. Every dish we ordered lacked the quality and consistency that made this restaurant stand out. The flavors were flat, the seasoning was inconsistent, several dishes arrived lukewarm, and the presentation looked rushed. Nothing had the attention to detail or care that I remembered. It genuinely feels like the kitchen is being run differently. While the menu hasn't changed, the execution certainly has. The recipes may be the same on paper, but the food tastes completely different. The balance of flavors, the quality of the ingredients, and the consistency that once made this place special just aren't there anymore. You can tell the person leading the kitchen is no longer the same because the food no longer reflects the standards this restaurant used to be known for. For the prices they're charging, I expected so much better. Instead, I left disappointed and wondering what happened to a restaurant I used to recommend to everyone. Unfortunately, this visit convinced me not to come back. I sincerely hope they can get back to the level of quality they once had, but until then, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

    Charrito's NEVER disappoints. Went early on Cinco de Mayo and even thought they had a limited menu,…read moreeverything was still delicious. Tacos Al Pastor are always a hit. Guac wasn't made table side due to space and saving time but it was still prepared well. The service was great and we did not feel rushed r all. They had a live DJ and the outside was reserved only for drinks.

    I had excellent service here, the waiter was kind and gave great reccomendations. I think the food…read morehere is objectively good. I can tell it's made fresh and with quality ingredients. Margaritas and drinks here are even better. I just have mixed feelings about the prices. I understand the location is elite. It's a beautiful view, but for the prices they are charging, they should be giving more food. Three small steak tacos with no sides are $30. I got mole enchiladas and it only came with two. My food also came out with in 5 min, it tasted great but that was a little off putting. I burnt my mouth taking my first bite and I felt like I had no time to enjoy my drink. I also noticed everyone else around me got complimentary chips and salsa, but I didn't. That bothered me. Appetizers are at entree prices.. or family style. The guacamole alone is $30, table aide, but still...It just feels really steep and unessecary with the popularity of this place. It's great they have valet available as this area is difficult to find parking. Outside seating is closed at the moment, I asked when it will be available but there's no eta and that sucks because it's a main perk of this location. One entree and two drinks came out to $80. I'm giving 4 star because the food and drinks ARE GOOD. But my entire experience was really closer to a 3 and I'm really not planning on coming back unless it's a special occasion considering this last experience. Which dissapoints me because as a local I'd like to have this spot be more accessible to me and not just tourists.
