a plate of food on a table

Very friendly people and great Mexican food. They also do Taco Tuesdays which is a great value. I would recommend their carne asada, carnitas, tacos (of course), and also their chicken cheese nachos. Will return if I'm ever in Fairfield to visit family.

Ground Beef Tacos
Jessica C.

Food was delicious. Service was okay but it was taco Tuesday so they were pack. There was a little bit of communication issue between us and our waiter. We would order something and he'd run away to place the order even when we weren't done with our whole order. I don't like running a waiter at all but this trip was inevitable. He wouldn't listen to the whole order. The food was fantastic, fast, and crazy fresh even given how busy they were. ¢.99 Taco Tuesday! YAS! I got regular (lettuce and cheese) ground beef tacos they were fantastic. I'm not sure what kind of seasoning they use with their ground beef but it's really yummy. I also got a chimichanga, ground beef as well. So delicious. We had queso with our chips and salsa. It was delicious but very runny. All three of us ended up with queso on us. When we go out we tend to get appetizers then a main course and are to full to get dessert. We saved some room this time for some fried ice cream and churros! Both very tasty.

I might be biased because this place is down the street from me and I've eaten here more times than I can count. The service is always fast, friendly and accurate. Food is always warm and tasty and you can't go wrong with their chips and salsa! Their margaritas are delicious and well priced.

Pretty good food. Not gourmet by any means but good for the typical Mexican joint. The staff is always friendly.

The service was quick, they had music playing which was fine…read more La agua de Jamaica was sweet & de tamarindo. Los tacos were good. The burrito was more lettuce than meat, so that was disappointing. They had a variety of salsa for you to choose from. Overall good experience, if you're in town you can grab food here.

We have been eating that this restaurant for many, many years. It's definitely one of our…read morefavorites. If you can't speak at least a little Spanish you could run into some slight issues, but the food is delicious. They have the absolute best tres leche cake I've ever eaten. They offer both strawberry and peach flavors. HINT: I think it's cheaper if you go to the their mercado which is outside the restaurant, but still in the same building and purchase the cake. Especially if you're planning to take it home to eat later, like I do. I rarely have room for dessert after eating my dinner. If you ever need a large "sheet- style" cake for a special occasion you should really think about ordering the tres leche cake from here, but It does have chopped nuts on top, so if that's an issue make sure you ask them to leave them off. With nuts or without, your guests will be amazed. We REALLY miss the former Mercado. They used to serve delicious hot foods and had great prices on meats/chicken, house made salsas, etc., They got rid of that area to make more room in the restaurant for customers.

Friendly service and really great food! Don't let the unassuming exterior deter you! 6 of us…read moredined here and we really enjoyed it. Two of us are vegetarian and there weren't really any vegetarian options on the menu. We ordered quesadillas with no meat expecting plain cheese quesadillas, but we were pleasantly surprised to find them filled with flavorful grilled vegetables. Also, the complimentary chips and salsa were so good!

It's been awhile since I've eaten at this friendly family-owned restaurant, but OMG -- I either…read moredidn't remember exactly how fantastic their food was, or they've gotten even better in the interim. Yes, the interior was warm and comfortably-decorated, but it was the food that blew me away! I ordered chicken empanadas, and they turned out to be flaky pastries -- not too thick on the outside, and packed with well-seasoned flavorful chicken on the inside. The sope al pastor surprised me also -- the cornmeal disks were delicate on the inside and just-crisp-enough on the outside -- and then piled high with al pastor (pork), avocado slices, and other toppings. But is was the elote that was the real surprise -- it's usually been served to me as cut-off kernels in a bowl. But here they gave me the whole ear of corn -- and it was sweet, tender, and freshly cooked -- a little taste of summer on this freezing day. And then they topped it with the elote spices -- decorative squirts of mayo, chili sauce, and other seasonings. I could not stop eating it and immediately wanted another. All told, it was amazing, fresh, well-seasoned food made with love - and a little chili sauce!!
