This review is solely based upon my experience only!…read more I was here about a month ago and it was reallllly quiet. The food was tasty but no seasoned very much. The facility is verryyyyy clean. I give it this many stars because they really don't have a lunch special. Staff is nice and very pleasant and earns your business by simply speaking when you walk through the door. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a lunch that is around 7 bucks and change for 2 tacos that comes with only cilantro/onion mix only. Not extravagant but not dead for sure.

Agree with the other reviews re: the not-so-friendly service but ignored it and ordered not only the chicken soup but also some grilled chicken - why not, and I love leftovers anyway. COMPLIMENTARY CHIPS AND SALSA Chips tasted more like broken hard taco shells - very thick. Salsa was ok. CHICKEN SOUP - $6.99 First wow, not an appetizing looking soup and could've used a tad more salt. Chicken, potatoes, cabbage and maybe a couple carrot slices. Arrived lukewarm too. I asked the server if I could get some cilantro - she directed me to the condiment bar where they had salsas, pico de gallo, cilantro, chopped onions, cucumbers and radish. I piled on the cilantro and onions in my soup and it tasted 100x better. My soup also came w/ corn tortilla and Mexican rice. After reheating the leftovers later and adding avocado, enjoyed the soup much better. 1/4 GRILLED CHICKEN - $6.79 Chicken leg, thigh, Mexican rice, refried beans and corn tortilla. Chicken skin tasted good, lol - but overall meal was just ok. Thigh had hardly any meat and what meat was there was crispy as you can see from the photo. Overall food was ok but not in a hurry to return. The 70 health score didn't excite me either.

The food here is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. I recommend the place for Mexican food…read more Portions are generous, too. The service is quite capable. The staff will take care of you.

On the one hand, they do not have a lot of parking, but on the other hand, most of their customers were there on foot as Weir most of the customers for the other businesses in the strip. We walked in and were able to order within about two minutes. The menus were easy to understand with pictures for everything and the staff made things easy as well. As we ordered and I asked for the Birria Burrito, they asked which one. I let them know that I had seen a video on TikTok about their Birria burrito, but that I hadn't seen it on their menu and that was what I wanted to order. They said it was the Birria Cali and that it was very popular lately. I mean, yeah- the video made it look phenomenal and the audio with it was funny. I had also, previously, seen a video about their Machete and wanted to order that because it looked awesome as well. They had 2! One Birria (beef) and the other was Governado (shrimp). We went for the Birria- of course. Honestly, the Birria Burrito had plenty of flavor and more variety in flavor due to the various fillings- Mexican crema, lettuce, guacamole, potatoes (surprising, but honestly VERY good), plenty of cheese, and the Birria (and the sauce is poured right in- which I think could be avoided). It was delicious, but it shouldn't have been served on the paper as the paper began to rip when I started cutting up the burrito. I had wanted to eat the burrito like a burrito, but the moment that I picked it up, it became nearly impossible. The burrito completely opened up and all the fillings started pouring out onto the paper. I was able to wrap it up again with about half the fillings, but the burrito tortilla was so wet that it was just a huge mess. I ended up eating half of the burrito with a fork. I don't know why they didn't serve it on a plate. The Birria Machete was super flavorful and simple, just Beria meat and cheese with a cup of their dipping Birria soup. It was also nearly 2 feet long! Very cool. I began to wonder if the corn tortillas for the Birria Machete were made in store. I asked- and they said they do make it themselves! The corn tortillas were the most flavorful corn tortillas I've ever had! They had texture and they were clearly NOT the type of corn tortillas that I get at most places, those premade floppy unflavorful corn tortillas like the ones you get in the pack of 150 at the grocery store. When I find out, I will let you know because the texture and flavor of the corn tortilla on the Machete was phenomenal. The place was packed when we got there. It was packed when we left. Clearly, they get plenty of business. Everyone around us seemed happy and content with their food and so were we. I will definitely be back for another Machete to try some other things as well. Give them a shot if you haven't been.

Then the menu prices become inflated without any notice. But for one of the "upgrades" or whatever the reasoning for the extra charge, it was only shredded lettuce along with a small dollop of sour cream and guacamole. It was rather sad. It's something you'd get standard at a chain restaurant like El Sombrero. Oh. If you get the consome, it will be an extra charge of $2.45. And they won't tell you that. But other than that, the food was good! I really liked how they had a separate birrias menu. Make sure you bring wet wipes because your hands will be oily. The birria sliders were delicious. Our strange total came out to be $16.90. Even with the $2.45 consome factored in, the total isn't $15.40. Since they were sliders, it's rather small. They're the size of the square dinner rolls but packed full of cheese, oil, and half chicken and beef. The beef was slightly more tasty compared to the chicken but both was just soaked with their variety of flavors. The birria quesadillas were $17.40. Even with the extra $2.45 with the consome, their math is not equaling $15.95 -- whacky! As for the taste profile, deliciousness. These three quesadillas were pretty massive. And like my sliders, they were equally oily and messy to consume. The horchata was really tasty. For a large, it was $6.75. It tasted different from other places. There was a nice rice flavor to it and less of the cinnamon flavor. Would I visit again? I think not. Good food. Prices were bleh, especially how it seems like we were charged more than their menu prices.

Looked like…read moremany were getting the soups which looked really good esp. the chicken soup - note to self to get for next time or when I'm not feeling well. Instead I took the cheap route and ordered 3 mini-tacos - $1.49 each ... asada (very good), pollo (very good), carnitas (ok). They use the double corn tortillas which were very good, and absolutely no toppings - b/c you can add whatever you want from the condiment bar. I selected the chopped cilantro, white onions, pico de gallo, and green avocado salsa. 3 tacos were plenty for my lunch, and I got a horchata from La Palapa del Talpa nearby. FYI the cashier didn't speak English but she seemed to understand me :) Definitely will be back to the try the chicken soup and other dishes. Oh and they have Taco Tuesdays - just $.99 for the mini tacos!

The price wasn't listed on the menu, but it appeared that everything else under the breakfast list was OKAY in price. They were good, don't get me wrong. But guys, I paid $20 for a agua fresca and plate of green chilaquiles with rice, beans, and a thin piece of overcooked steak. I would have expected a larger variety of meats, some eggs, or something additional on the plate to make me feel like I paid a fair price. To my dismay, none of that. WAY overpriced. I'll be going somewhere else next time so that I get what I pay for like Tacos El Sabor in Acworth. They serve the chilaquiles, steak and eggs for $8.
