Some friends who've lived in Latin America for 40 years visited so we wanted to go to the most…read moreauthentic (or at east most tasty) Mexican. Yelp ratings told us this happened to be close to our house to boot. My wife and I both had the taco salad with chicken (lots of it, btw). Both our guest had meat dishes, which I forgot to record. One was almost surely a steak fajita, the other had a ham (and chicken?) dish with rice and lettuce. All declared VERY good. Service was fast and friendly - our waitress spoke English and Spanish. Ambiance - a typical ethnic location. Nothing fancy. Don't let that stop you if you want good Mexican. Once more, Yelpers, you've helped us out in a pinch!

Went to lunch Easter Sunday with friends. Ordered the chicken soup. It came with rice and corn…read moretortillas. Pretty large bowl of soup. It contained various vegetables. The broth was seasoned well. Tasted even better the day after. I ate a lot of chips and salsa before lunch arrived. The chips are thin and crispy. So yummy. The service is always top notch. The place was packed with people. That is always a good sign. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Had to wait a little bit before being seated as they were cleaning the table. There is a bakery available with a lot of goodies. We did not try any Sunday since we were full from lunch. I will come back to try other entrees and have the chips and salsa. The bathroom was organized and clean.

First time trying this spot. I'm a sucker for popusas and birria. This is what we ordered:…read more 2 mixed, and 1 jalapeño with cheese Quesa Birria tacos Alpastor Tacos The food was great, all had great flavor alone. When adding the salsas provided, it just bursted with even more flavor. The service was great both ladies were very nice and welcoming. The spot is a grab and go, but they have a picnic style table there if you prefer to eat there. That being said, the food is amazing and I will definitely come back for some more . The food brings back memories of my godmother's cooking. Go try it out!

Best Flautas Ever! I…read morereally enjoy coming here. It's one of our favorite Mexican places now. Most of the things I've gotten here have been excellent. The flautas are just the best and it's my mom's favorite thing, too. Hubby has found his new fav burrito here so we come here often. I'm excited to try more stuff. The mixed drinks are pretty good as well. I don't know why but I cannot stand the corn tortillas here. They have a very off-putting smell to me. We tried the Margaritas Chicken Dip and I felt like there was way too much chicken and not enough queso. I think we will try the version without chicken next time and see if we like it better. I do love that this place has such an extensive menu because I'm always finding something different I want to try. We have both fallen in LOVE with the Gringo Quesadillas here. Joel prefers the chicken option but I am obsessed with the al pastor version. The steak version is meh (we got it by mistake once). The salsa is what really makes it. They bring a salsa for you to dip it in and put a little in the quesadilla itself. It's AMAZING. It's pretty much all we have been getting lately. The Pollo Borracho is good but it's got such a strong flavor that it's best eaten with tortillas to mellow it out a bit. The taco salad was pretty good. I really liked the flavor of the shell. It doesn't reheat that great but it's still decent. The baja taco had no flavor and fell apart to easily to eat. The quesetaco de puerco had too much fat on it. The quesetaco del pollo also had no flavor. The Chimichanga Casera tastes like nothing but tortilla and cheese. You can't even taste the meat. Same with the Fajita Quesadailla. I like the chicken option but the one with all the meats just mainly tastes like cheese. I disliked the Camarones Don Jose because they left the tails on the shrimp and the shrimp itself wasn't flavored, the bacon and cheese were just it. It was meh for me. The Pollo Bravo doesn't have much flavor other than cheese. I like onions and mushrooms but it felt like it needed more veggies. The Anaconda is fun and I would love to eat it with a group. Hubby and I liked it but it had too much rice inside to the point where it was dry. It benefitted from some queso. The shrimp fajitas come with the shells on them??? My sister got it and mentioned you can ask them to deshell it I think. Or she mentioned that she forgot to order something different. IDK but I would never want to eat that and have to fight for me food so I'll never get that.

The staffer seared us quickly and got our initial drink order. Chips were brought to the table, which were a bit stale but passable and salsa was also presented. The salsa is a bit thin for my liking but my grandson liked it. We proceeded to wait on the staffer to come back after dropping off drinks and then disappearing. We watched him walk into the parking lot and from there we didn't see the staffer for another 10 minutes. Smoke break? I don't know. We got margaritas; Yum! 4 of us dined and only one of us was unhappy with their food. The taco salad had massive amounts of runny beans which broke the taco shell down too quickly. I would suggest lining the taco bowl with lettuce. And thicken up the beans. The shrimp with queso and rice was delicious! I am rating 4/5 for mostly good food but weird service.
