We ordered a pretty standard breakfast and it came out in a timely fashion and was piping hot! The waitress was really sweet and our coffees weren't ever empty. I live the inside of this place because it has a large skylight in the middle of the restaurant so it really opens it up. Such a cool place and one that will be on our returning list for sure!

I came to this restaurant to order and pick up carryout dinner for two. I had been here a few years…read moreago. The parking lot was very crowded and of course that meant it was also crowded inside. A good sign! Ambiance is typical festive and colorful Mexican decor. I went to the host stand to get a menu and grabbed a seat at the bar, hoping to get a small margarita while I perused the menu and ordered. I didn't see a dedicated bartender and it seemed like wait staff grabbed drinks on their own for their tables. When I was finally able to flag down someone in the bar area, she was friendly and served me a basic margarita- pretty sure they are pre-mixed but not totally sure because I was still studying the menu. Solid margarita though. Ordered two chicken burritos, a chicken quesadilla and tortilla chicken soup. The wait time was reasonable and staff members were very nice despite how busy they were at prime dinner time. Upon arriving home, I ate half of the chicken quesadilla. It was delicious with lots of quality seasoned chicken I also cut off a piece of my mom's chicken burrito to try. Also delicious. My mom definitely enjoyed her chicken tortilla soup, which was loaded with shredded chicken and pico de gallo. We had lots of leftovers even though we ordered à la carte. Everything was delicious and I highly recommend this restaurant! I'm sure the experience would have been better dining inside. Also, next time will order dinner portions for more well rounded meals (e.g., quacemole and other sides). You may want to stop by for an early dinner because this restaurant has quite the following!! P.S. If you care about whether the refried beans contain lard, they do. And they don't have black beans as an option for those who don't want lard in their beans. Guess the lard is more authentic Mexican but not what I had hoped for...

My protein of choice was carne asada (which the waitress needed clarification that I wanted steak). Not promising. I guess part of this is my fault for ordering carryout Mexican food. Unless you're under the influence at a taco bell, with no better sense of judgement, it's just not a good idea. That said, I couldn't help myself because I REALLY wanted Mexican food for dinner and I didn't want to deal with San Marcos (see my prior review) and I didn't feel like driving to Waterville (Cocina de Carlos because I live in West Toledo and work downtown). El Nuevo Vallarta is really close to home and it was a really long day. Anyway, I digress... I go to the place and it's starting to get busy. Not a problem. I place my order and grab a seat at the bar. Food is in my hands in under 10 minutes! Homeward bound to and adult beverage and Mexican food!!! Oy... I finish my cocktail, feed the cat and grab my carryout. I sit down and open the container. Again, OY... It looked like they put the 3 items in the aluminum pan and liberally doused everything with salsa rojo. Maybe I should have used the word excessively? I had to look at the carryout menu I grabbed to remember what I ordered because one couldn't tell by appearance. The chili relleno tasted good, but it wasn't like any I'd had in the past. The ones I've had are stuffed with cheese then dredge in fluffy, beaten egg, then fried. I'm thinking this was maybe fried (or baked?) And was then covered with cheese and red salsa and some kind of cut up beef was placed on top. If it was steak, it was round steak. Really tough and no flavor. They did the burrito the same way. The taco was a repeat of the first 2 items. So, I ate all of the chili relleno (except for the really stringy stem end they didn't cut off) , half of the taco and a quarter of the burrito. The dinner came with chips that they made, but they didn't seem very fresh. The salsa was really good! So, I owe it to the place to go back and right another review. When that happens, I'll be sure to eat it there and get ground beef or chicken. It might be a while though...

Everything is flavor really well, I love how the wings still have a nice crispy outer breading and sauce as well flavor. I also enjoy that the green beans have smoked turkey instead of pork.

The catfish, and I know, cat food from a food truck. I saw coleslaw which gave me hope. Maybe the catfish would hit. Didn't. The catfish was a mm thick, tasted gamey and fishy, coated in this shake n bake gnarly breading. -5/5. Also. No sauce, and the side of the truck literally says, "we got sauce." False. They don't. The chicken wings were smaller than the shrimp, need I say more. All breading and nothing after that. 1/5. Shrimp was decent. But again, no sauce. And similar to the chicken, so much breading. And it's like, if the breading was hittin, I wouldn't have minded. But nah. Sad. No sauce. 2/5. The fries deserve no words. But they tasted starchy and like they came out of the ground. Soggy. No seasoning. Didn't even eat more than one and that's saying something bc ya girl loves a potato. -3/5. Not it. Finally the coleslaw. It was fine-- if it were purchased at Meijer. It was your generic coleslaw from a grocery but it tasted like chemicals and I can smell it from here. 1/5. The service was trash. Waited 40 minutes for a food truck. The price would've been fine but for what I got, I got played. $22 and a $4 tip. Regrets. Don't go here. You're better than this. Literally go anywhere else.

But it was, to me, kind of bland, as were the tomatoes and even the onion. Not bad, but when mild mayonnaise dominates the sandwich, it ain't my thing. But I'm a hot sauce enjoyer. To each their own. The fries were a bit better, lightly crisp flour-covered things, but again: kind of unexciting without ketchup. They were fine. The store's decor was mostly mom-n-pop nice, attractive and probably comfortable (I did takeout). The carpet was worn and maybe a bit grimy. I'm thinking that's because of the breakfast and lunch crowd the restaurant attracts, many of whom have been working hard at jobs that get their shoes dirty. No points off for that. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were good, and the portion they served me was just right for a hungry driver. Parking was easy and the store was easy to find and get to. Overall: fine. Not for me, but I can see why it gets four stars overall.

My man has been talking about this place forever and raved about the tacos. So now that they got on GrubHub I can get delivery because they have some very odd hours. We ordered a breakfast taco with chorizo and egg chips and quesabirria tacos and the man was extra hungry so he even added in a couple hot dogs with fries. Now at this point it was almost closing time and I always tell him do not order food when it's near closing but he wanted it so we got it. So we didn't get any queso with the chips which is a little bit of a big deal for me because I don't particularly like salsa so if I get chips I get queso so since I didn't get any queso the chips are still sitting on the counter 3 days later. The breakfast taco was okay. Way too much cilantro in there. He ate his quesabirria tacos and he seemed to be mostly pleased. The hot dog completely sucked. Just no flavor and we threw the second away. Fries needed salt added. But.. I would have never ordered it from here myself personally but I tried it because hey it's here. It really didn't taste very good and there's no option to take off like onions or anything if you order online. Something for lowrider to think about for their online orders. Not everybody wants onion and relish on their hot dog. I'm impressed with the place because I know they do a lot for the homeless community but as for the food it's just average to me I've had way better in Texas and out west.
