    2nd visit to Ay Mi Madre and I hate to say it... my first experience cleared this one by a mile…read more This was a Cinco de Mayo run with friends, so the company was 10/10, but the rest? Service was definitely underwhelming this round, and honestly the food didn't hold up either. I'm a Birria girl through and through and I played it safe with what what I know. The birria tacos came a bit OVERstuffed for me and they fell apart immediately, and there was zero real flavor. My margarita was giving straight strawberry syrup with a splash of "hope." Wait time for initial service was 30+ minutes, and we were told they were short-staffed. Our server was on day 2, so no shade to him at all -- that was a management/setup issue. It just felt like no one was really helping control the chaos or wait times. After eating, we still waited another 30 minutes just to get our checks. Not to mention, there was an extra margarita on my tab that I didn't order. Between the noise level and language barriers, I ended up using a translator app just to clear it up... which honestly is my sign to start my Spanish lessons ASAP. Overall, I won't pull up for the party nights but maybe a chill Sunday visit would hit better, and I'll definitely be trying a different menu item until those birria tacos redeem themselves

The mural was giving Wynwood/Miami vibes and I love a reminder of home! We split the Birria Pizza which was definitely enough for two. It was delicious and cheesy and so well seasoned! We also got the guacamole which sadly was lacking salt but once we tracked down a salt shaker on another table it was delicious! The chips were also fab! Service was quick and everyone was kind and helpful! We will be back!

From the delightful and freshly prepared Pastelitos to the pupusas, this place has it going on! The flavors are so fuera de serie! The service is so friendly and fast as well. The prices are also very good. It's a cute little plain-ish spot without a lot of decorations, but there's always nice music playing in the background. I also love the fact that the place is owned by a Pastor and his family! They are always so kind and helpful. They have authentic Salvadoran food, which is very difficult to find here.

    This small place is known for the Pupusas they serve, and the fact that they only accept cash! The…read morerestaurant is located in a very shabby, aged strip center well off of N. Point, providing no street visibility, and a rough parking lot! The inside mirrors the outside, worn but clean and with a decent amount of seating - booths and tables, functional if not comfortable! Bibical verses adorn the wall, obviously no fear here of standing up for what you believe in an increasingly secular society - courage should always be acknowledged, IMHO! I ordered the aforementioned Pupusas - 4 Cheese and Pork for $11.50 with Crudito included! These were good, not great, Pupusa - under-seasoned for my tastes (added a Rick Bayless (you must know who he is) measure of salt) and it was were I needed it to be - but still weak! Unfortunately the Crudito was very weak, barely fermented - a great side when done right, not the case here! This was not bad food, but there is better available, even as close as Los Primos, only several miles away! The combination of under-seasoning, lack of pork, and uneven grilling makes this more than a bit off the charts for best of show!

The seasoning had a unique Mexican-inspired flavor that really set it apart from the typical chicken sandwiches you get everywhere else. I haven't had a chance to try their other chicken yet, but after this visit, I'll definitely be back. If it's anything like the sandwich, I'm looking forward to it. One thing that really stood out to me was how clean the restaurant was. I even noticed the staff cleaning behind the counter and in the back while I was there. It's always nice to see a restaurant that takes pride in keeping everything clean. Great food, friendly atmosphere, and a very clean restaurant. I'm glad I gave it a try!

I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, a side of beans, and a drink. The sandwich was okay--nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out. The beans were actually pretty good and may have been the highlight of the meal. The only thing that surprised me was the price. The meal came to about $14, which felt a little expensive for a fast-food lunch. Overall, it was a solid experience with good service and a clean restaurant, but the food and value probably wouldn't have me going out of my way to return.

    This place just opened for business, and by just opened, I mean the drive thru isn't functional…read moreyet. The menu boards were still being wired and monitors adjusted. This place is a little food counter inside of a Mobil has station on Akron Drive, directly across the street from Mountain Fried Chicken. The owner was incredibly friendly and was thrilled that I found his restaurant on Yelp, and asked me to please write a review, which I planned on doing anyway. Gas station restaurants can be hit or miss, so it's always risky. We were lured to try this placed because they serve Columbian Empanadas. This is their specialty and it's what I recommend you try. They had two options, chicken or beef. The dough had a great texture and fresh crunch as they just came out of the fryer. The filling was ground beef with seasoned rice and the other had shredded chicken and potatoes. Both were very good, worthy of a solid 4 stars, only losing a point for the sauce. I was hoping for a traditional aji or encurtido but instead it was like 1,000 Island dressing. It tasted like tarter sauce with a splash of ketchup. They do have other salsas, I will ask for one of those next time, but wanted to eat it the way they normally serve it for this first visit. Then we tried their tacos. Only 1 star for these. They didn't have chorizo or shredded chicken that were on the menu, so we got the only two available, grilled chicken and carne asada. The chicken was very fresh and juicy, but had zero flavor, not even salt. The pico de gallo was also lacking flavor, like lemon or lime. We asked for salsa verde with the tacos, which looked great, but again had no flavor like the citrusy flavor of tomatillos and cilantro. It had some heat but didn't enhance the bland taco. The carne asada was the same story, fresh grilled steak, but zero seasoning. They have sandwiches, Mexican food, pasta, rotisserie chicken, ribs, wings, burgers, a full breakfast sandwich menu and more. Hopefully they will dial it down to a few signature items that they do well and not try to be something for everyone. Or at least season up the other items. For now, stick to the empanadas. Perhaps everything else will improve as they get through the stress of opening a new business. We will be back to try them again.
