    Taco Salad
    Duke S.

    Underrated spot that is tucked away in the corner of a plaza. Small and unassuming it's definitely worth giving this place a shot. They were very quick to help and serve us for an early dinner. They do close early (6:00) as they specialize more in brunch and lunch so plan accordingly. But the taco salad was a great portion size for the price and had tons of all the toppings/garnishes.

    Got the breakfast burrito for $13 and although it's on the smaller side in comparison to other restaurants, the flavor was great! It's definitely on the dryer side and I would ask for an extra cup of hot sauce on the side.

    Cheese. Enchiladas

    Amazing service , amazing food. You can see the kitchen and watch the amazing chef cook, I love it here . This is my first time . Their salsa and chips are super fresh. I'm definitely come back. They have a nice patio area that's definitely a vibe . It's a smaller restaurant in a grocery parking lot . AMAZING. Rice and beans are perfection

    I stopped off here this morning to pick up an early meal. I was the only there for a short period and the food was prepared quickly and I was out quickly. I do wish the staff were a little less grumpy though, my mood was down 20% after that interaction. The food was a good portion and decent.

    I tried the chicken regular tacos and thought it was decent. The meat maintained moisture and was well seasoned. It came with corn tacos and the typical fixings (onions, cilantro, etc.). I asked for a side of their green salsa, which had a pretty good kick. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The food was prepared quickly and service was prompt.

    Al pastor Torta

    I go here for the Al Pastor torta. I get a Tamarindo Jarritos with it, and it legit makes my whole day. The torta is so good. I'm a gringa, so I don't know how the al pastor compares to other places or styles, but I love it. Small business run by a chef and waitress. They work hard and deserve the community's support. Good, clean small joint that cares about its customers. I live and work nearby, and I love that this reliable spot is open every day from 9:00 to 6:00, so I can come by any day for lunch!

    Awesome breakfast burritos bacon eggs potatoes and cheese don't forget the salsa.thanks

    Regular Burrito (chicken).

    I've been to this plaza less than 5x. I did not know a taqueria is located here. It was a Friday and I promised Tess I would get her poke for dinner. I knew Gavin and I would get Mexican but I didn't know from where. I wanted to get the poke out of the way first but serendipity presented itself when we parked. Flamingo's was 3-4 doors down from poke. SCORE! Gavin ordered a regular chicken burrito and I ordered the chile verde and super nachos. I can't speak for Gavin but he enjoyed both halves of his burritos, no complaints whatsoever. I inhaled the chile verde that same evening; the pork was tender and paired perfectly w/ their fluffy rice! I did not like the super nachos... the top of the nachos was good but once you've eaten everything at the top, the rest was rather dry and flavorless. Skip the nachos. Get the chile verde. They have outdoor dining as well.

    a sign for a mexican takeout

    Located right next door to Lions market for some reason I had the hardest time spotting their sign "no joke" anyhooo wifey and I managed to find them. When I first walked I noticed the place looks unkempt, normally I would have walked out at this point but after looking at all posted food pictures I decided to give it a go. Now the lady that took our order seem very stern, no smile and was very direct. I ordered a chorizo and egg with potatoes and cheese breakfast burrito, I asked her if i could have bacon with it? She said... no, one meat only, beacon extra. I was thinking to myself, self what did you get yourself into? I just smiled and said that is fine with me, please add beacon. I also ordered a horchata drink. A couple minutes later she came back to the table with some chips and watery salsa and the Horchata. "This review sounds like it's going downhill doesn't it? Actually here's where everything completely turns around. I took a sip of the horchata and my taste buds exploded!! It had such a beautiful cinnamon taste (little on the sweeter side but sooo good" honestly I don't think I've ever had Horchata that was even remotely as good as this! About 10 minutes later my breakfast burrito showed up cut in half. With a side of the same watery salsa. when I added the salsa to the burrito it had a really mild smoky flavor, simply delicious. And my breakfast? Oh...... my..... gosh!! Everything about it was freaking amazing!! The big chunks of potatoes tasted better than the best home fries! The burrito had a light chorizo flavor with a beautiful bacon aftertaste, and was perfectly juicy. It has been years since I've had A breakfast burrito so good, I'm talking like over 30 years!! Yah man, that good. I think the lady over herd me having a food-gasm. Yah man I was making some noise!! I must have told her 5 times how good it was, she just smiled the shot me that stern look again lol, I really think she's a softy on the inside because she asked me if I wanted A refill on my Horchata or if I wanted any water? I said no as I was quite satisfied plus I couldn't see cuz myzz eyezzz were still rolled up in the back of my head C; bottom line is I would give them 5 if they spend some time cleaning the place and tidying up a bit. But the food 5 stars all day every day!!

    Super burrito minus beans pico and sour cream
    Denise L.

    Friend and I were craving burritos so made our way to this taqueria, part of a decent sized plaza off Saratoga. It's clean and nice, waitress was attentive. Their menu is pretty extensive, with even breakfast items! However, we both got the carne asada super burrito, and I omitted the beans, pico and sour cream. We were given a handful of chips and salsa, salsa was pretty good. We also asked for a spicier salsa for our burritos. I liked how the tortilla came grilled. We did get some cartilage in our carne asada, but tends to be normal at times. The burrito was good, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it.

I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

We arrived at approximately 8:26 p.m. When we checked in, I specifically requested to be seated indoors. The host, a young man, informed us that the wait would be approximately 10-15 minutes. When our table was ready, however, we were seated outside despite my clear request to sit inside. Throughout this time, there appeared to be an available table indoors. Our server, Mariana, was courteous and attentive, greeting us within two minutes of being seated. We placed our appetizer order at approximately 8:29 p.m., but did not receive it until around 9:00 p.m., resulting in a wait of roughly 30 minutes. To Mariana's credit, she communicated that there was a delay in the kitchen and kept us informed. However, our main entrées did not arrive until approximately 9:27 p.m. I remained patient and understanding throughout the evening. Having worked as both a server and bartender during my undergraduate studies, I understand that delays can happen. Nevertheless, the length of the wait was excessive, particularly given the apparent lack of managerial intervention. The manager on duty appeared to be walking the floor but did not seem to address the situation or assist in resolving service delays. Overall, while our server provided professional service under difficult circumstances, the restaurant's seating management and food service times fell well below expectations.

This made it so seamless to reserve here. Our group got there at opening and our table was ready and most of the group was already seated when we got there. Drink orders were flowing as the waitress caught up to me and I got a cafe de olla. We browsed the menu and the more I looked the harder it was to pick one thing. I ended up choosing chilaquiles with a bandera sauce and carne asada as the added protein. The rest of the table got all different types of dishes from carne en su jugo to birria to omelettes. While we enjoyed each other's company sipping on our cafecito I enjoyed the ambiance of the space. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Since it was opening time it wasn't as loud as I imagine it can get in there. The sun did shine on the faces of those facing the windows which was not enjoyable for them. There was no way to cover the sun either since it was coming in from the top windows with no shade. My food came out along with the rest of the plates and we went right in to enjoy them. My favorite chilaquiles was covered in the white sauce. The red and green were good but the white sauce was my favorite. The carne was cooked well but I could taste it wasn't marinated or lacked flavor. I didn't get a knife to cut the meat so it was very difficult to enjoy a piece with my chilaquiles. It was hard to cut with a butter knife. I thought it would be a piece of steak but it was a piece of carne asada. Eggs were scrambled and cooked well. The whole plate was filling, had flavor, and was a good portion. The cafe de olla had a good flavor but a tad sweet for my preference. The space in here is a vibe. A fun place to enjoy large gatherings. I came for breakfast but will update when I come back to visit for dinner. Bathrooms are clean. Staff was welcoming and efficient in taking care of our group. Hospitality was a 10/10. Parking in the am was a breeze but at prime time I can see it being a complete nightmare so plan accordingly. I enjoyed my visit and will come back to check out the dinner menu.
