    This place is a hidden gem in the high desert! The Mexican food is freshly made and you can add hot Cheetos to pretty much anything which is my favorite! The staff is a friendly family that cares and it's good to support small business! Definitely coming back!

    Love thier food! Always so friendly and helpful. I truly admire a hard working family like this. From the variety of options to the cute decor it's a hole in the hole you'd dream of. I have yet to try something I don't like and have frequented the restaurant a since I moved.

    Tacos plate

    I was supposed to get the tacos plate with guacamole and no beans and this is what I get

    Lengua burrito is filled with rice and a lot of meat but very little beans. Not the best tasting anyway.

    Lengua burrito has a lot of tender meat but is filled with rice and only has a little smear of beans. Overall not the best tasting anyway. I didn't care for it.

    The tacos were priced at almost $3. The tortillas were literally for one bite. I spent close to 30 and did not get full at all.

    Very tasty burritos. The burritos taste exactly like El Montecito as does the salsa. Not sure how they did it, but good job.

    The food at Tacos Mexico is overall really good…read more During our recent visit, my family ordered food and two large Jamaica drinks and one small Tamarindo drink. Before leaving, we wanted refills. I was already aware that refills are charged, and I have no issue paying for a refill when that is the restaurant's policy. What caught me off guard, however, was being charged $3.00 for the refill of the small drink as well. I asked the cashier if I was being charged the correct amount since the original drink was a small, and I was told that they only have one refill option, which is $3.00, regardless of the size of the original drink. While $3.00 may not seem like a significant amount, it's really about the principle and transparency. If a customer purchases a smaller drink, it seems reasonable that the refill price would reflect the size of the drink, or at minimum that this policy would be clearly communicated beforehand. This is especially worth mentioning because the restaurant already charges additional fees for using debit/credit card services, so these extra charges can start to add up quickly. Again, the food is good, and I'm not against paying reasonable prices for quality food and drinks. I simply feel this particular policy should be re-evaluated or made more transparent to customers. Small details like this can make a big difference in the overall customer experience. Hopefully, management will take this feedback into consideration.

    A sudden drop in blood sugar brought me in and I was craving fish tacos anyways. They have Ensenada…read moreStyle seafood tacos here. I ordered two fish, one grilled shrimp taco and one potato taco. The food came out quickly and was plated beautifully with both lemon and lime wedges. I was asked if I would like a mild, medium, or hot salsa. I chose the medium one but it had only just a little hint of a kick. It was a good tasting accompaniment for the seafood. The beer batter was crispy on the fish. There is plenty of shredded cabbage and a good crema on the tacos. Fish was very fresh and clean tasting. The grilled shrimp was seasoned well but were small and a bit dry. I would probably try the beer battered shrimp next time. Potato taco was crunchy and the filling tasted good. Altogether, the food was very delicious and left me feeling light. Service was very welcoming and friendly. Bar and dining areas were inviting and clean. One of my favorite songs, The Smiths' "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" was playing on the stereo so that was very nice while dining. I will certainly return to try the other items on the menu.

    My wife was craving some shrimp tacos so we decided to drop by here to give it a try…read more We were greeted right away and offered to sit anywhere we'd like, we sat down and they took our drink order and came back with our drinks and asked us if we were ready to order our food, we order 2 fish tacos and two shrimp tacos, and two beers. We also ordered the chips and salsa. The fish and shrimp tacos came with limes and sides of different house made salsas which were really good. We were ready to cash out and asked for the check, after we got the check we told them we wanted another taco each and another round of beers! The service was great, the place is really clean and they have a bar serving beers on tap. They play different types of music like Banda and oldies. They served my favorite beer, 805!! I'd recommend this place and definitely come back here again!
