    Chilaquiles Rojas con Huevo
    Brittany B.

    This is one of those hole in the wall kind of places. The area in general doesn't have much around but we were lucky to stop in to give it a try and wow it was delicious. This is probably the most authentic Mexican food that I've had in south Florida. I ordered the chilaquiles which had everyone else at the table wishing they had ordered the same. Not to mention, for the price, there was sooo much food! I would definitely return if im ever in the area and I recommend it to anyone looking for real Mexican food and not the Americanized version.

    If you want real authentic Mexican food this is the place to come and have breakfast. Very friendly family oriented and the service is great. A back to the home land culture feeling. The coffee is the best just like abuelita does it back in Mexico. If I can give it 10 stars I would.

    This place is very authentic. Our server spoke perfect English. There were man Mexicans dining the day we were there, which is always a good sign. They bring you chips and pico de gallo. If you request more, it cost $1 (they did not tell us this). The corn tortillas on the tacos tasted fresh. The tacos are topped with onion and cilantro. The pinto beans did not have much flavor. The meat was flavorful. I had the barbacoa, steak, and pork tacos. The pork taco comes with pineapple. They have a salsa bar. Be careful....the sauces are very HOT. We ordered a horchata to cool off our mouths! The horchata is made with rice powder. There is a TV showing sports. There are Mexican goodies by the front counter for purchase. There is a small attached parking lot.

    If you're looking for an authentic Mexican experience, this is the place to go to. My Mexican friend told me about how the food here reminded her how her dad and even grandmother made Mexican food years ago when she was growing up. Not only is it good and a very authentic experience, but your wallet will definitely be grateful. Very inexpensive location. We got 4 tacos, menudo, drinks, 6 tamales, another order of menudo to go, and we spent just over $40 Certain restaurants serve menudo only on certain days, this place serves it everyday and makes a fresh batch every morning starting at 5 am when they open. They're very open to requests and suggestions. I asked if they would mix chorizo with their refried beans and they said that's totally fine. They'll do pretty much anything off menu if they have the ingredients. We had three crunchy tacos and all were delicious. Barbacoa, chorizo, and al pastor (pork). They serve it with refried beans and rice which was also prepared fantastically. I had all that with an extremely refreshing glass of horchata that was TOO good. We also had the menudo which had a great spice to it, really warms you up and may even cause some tears and a stuffy nose. We even asked about their molé and they actually gave us samples!!! Fantastic little restaurant/cafe. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nostalgic experience or if you're completely ignorant of Mexican cuisine, then this is the place to check out!

    Chips and pico de gallo along with some horchata .

    Full house on a Friday night but no wait to be seated . Since it was pretty busy did take sometime to get our food . But again it's a Friday night , that's expected . Waitress was attending . Horchata was REALLY good. First time trying it and I loved it. Got the "bistec a la mexicana" meat is really savory . Hubby got the enchiladas verde chicken they were okay , a bit greasy. Also got chips And pico de Gallo , it's REAL Spicy . 4 stars just cause eh not really a Mexican food fan or maybe just cause I wasn't expecting the dish of food I received (probably should've googled it first -my fault lol)

    Solid restaurant, the service was on point, and there was about 10min ticket time. I ordered the fajitas. If I lived out here I'd definitely frequent this place...

    The beautiful new tables & Covid friendly (hands free) menu.

    I've been here twice (both times were far apart since I always like to try new places). Both times I came the food was yummy & the service was great!! There was one difference when I came this past weekend the entire place was renovated. It looks so great for a small mom & pop, it's a hidden gem off US1 (don't judge a book by it's cover or in this case the "area") It's been a little chilly this Christmas & I know they do Atole Champurrado de Chocolate so I had to finally try it....it was yum I'm a sweet tooth so although I do wish it was sweeter, it is how it should taste. The huevos Mexicanos were a great breakfast & the tacos yum (they use authentic Mexican cheese on the tacos). All around very delicious, friendly & fast service. I'd try it out if I were you. #Supportsmall #Familybusiness

    Still so goooood! Barbacoa tacos and horchata-I don't ever eat other dishes because I love them so much!!

    it's a very small place. Probably enough seating for 20 people or so. We ordered 2 very simple things. 2 steak tacos and a burrito. The tacos came out plain. Just the tortilla and steak. There is a little buffet station where you pout on some extras, but, there was not much there. No cheeses or tomatoes at all. The burrito looked ok. But while eating it, I came across pieces of really hard chicken and chicken bones. I don't believe I will be back.

The place was busy, with a steady flow of people coming and going, which is usually a good sign. Once inside, we were greeted right away and the service was incredibly friendly and fast throughout our visit. The atmosphere had the familiar feel of a traditional Mexican restaurant, but with a genuine family owned, mom & pop charm that made it feel welcoming and authentic. I ordered the Mexican steak with jalapeños, while my fiancée went with the flautas. Both dishes were excellent and fresh, flavorful, and well seasoned without being overdone. The steak was cooked just right and had plenty of flavor. My fiancée especially loved the yellow rice and kept talking about it long after we left. Overall, this was one of those unexpected finds that turns into a place you'll want to come back to. Great food, friendly people, and a welcoming atmosphere. It would be worth the hour drive back here from fort lauderdale. We'll definitely be returning.

I'm not going to lie the food has always been good, which is why we kept coming back despite the drive. The waitresses know us by now. It's always me, my mom, and my husband, and if one of the three of us is missing they actually ask where the other person is. That's how regular we are. Because it's a long drive for us, we usually bring a small lunch box with water bottles and Coke Zero for the trip. Today, under the guise of offering us ice for our lunch box, our waitress opened our lunch box, looked through it, and then shook her head at someone else like she was signaling "no, not here." We were honestly stunned. We paid and as we were leaving I told her, "If you wanted to check my lunch box for alcohol, you could have just asked." She immediately started saying "No, no, I was just curious because I want to start driving around with one too," and I told her flat out, "No you weren't." If I wanted to get drunk, I certainly wouldn't pick this place to do it. I have honestly never felt so disrespected. TSA doesn't even go through my bags like that. The rose-colored glasses are officially off. Again, the food is good, but I'm also not blind to the fact that this is a hot trailer on the side of Krome where you're constantly fighting flies around your food while you eat. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants where I can order a Coke Zero in air conditioning, or I can find another food truck,they're a dime a dozen.
