The birria tacos had a strong cinnamon flavor we couldn't get past. That was all it tasted like and I just don't like beef that tastes like cinnamon. I did ask the bartender if they used it and she said yes they cook the beef with cinnamon stick and cardamon which gives it that flavor. I asked bc I thought maybe I just got a bad batch. Also we ordered the jalapeno queso, didn't like that either it had a bacon flavoring. The chips were also soaked in grease so they get chewy and a weird texture. The dessert was the saving grace being I was still so hungry bc I couldn't eat the other things. Dessert was great. I would just recommend trying something different else if you go. Or maybe adding the flavor profile on the menu so people are aware before ordering.

One of the best in the area for Mexican.

She was there when we needed her, but wasn't overbearing. As my husband said....the only thing better than the service was the food. The chips and salsa are delicious. Just enough kick in the salsa to keep you going back for more. We ordered the carnitas burrito and the fried flautas. The burrito is as big as my head. And the taste? Everything was so delicious. I'm happy I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. And maybe even a midnight snack tonight. Prices are fantastic for the quantity but more importantly the QUALITY of the meal. ¡Muy bien!

Ordered a steak fajita burrito, but what i received were steak fajitas. Mistakes happen, he would have taken it back, but I had waited a LONG time already so I just kept it. However, it was pretty disappointing. Now I think fajitas are pretty boring anyway, but the steak was way overdone and yet everything was just warm. The beans and rice just warm. Here's hoping I don't get food poisoning . I don't know if this was typical quality for them, but I probably won't come back.

Silly me, I started speaking Spanish to the server and she didn't speak Spanish. The server shared she was new and I could kind of tell cause she really could not answer a lot of my questions. After reviewing the menu, and didn't see what I wanted or an à la cart section, I decided on chile relleno de queso and hubby got Fiesta Mi Tierra and a horchata. While we waited , we munched on the chips and salsa. The chips were tasty and had just enough salt. The salsa's were good and progressed in heat from mild to ouch. lol So, my husband hardly ever puts salt on anything. This time he kept reaching for the salt. I think he was salting the beans and rice. He said the proteins on his plate were very tasty. I had the same issue. The beans and rice had no flavor. The rice looked well cooked but no flavor. The relleno was ok. I think the homemade tortillas were the star of the meal.

I had a long day at work and did not feel like making dinner so I decided to grab a classic plate of enchiladas for takeout. Never really had enchilada like this but they were some of my favorites. Very rich red sauce. Well-cooked and tender chicken that had the perfect bite every time. The cheese was light and profuse. I finished the entire meal in one sitting although realistically this could feed 2 ppl. Although they could be misconstrued as sidekicks, the rice and beans were the star of the show. They were incredible and savory. I may just get these if I were alone.
