They provided us with large bowl of thin crispy chips and salsa. We also ordered the guac which was fresh and creamy and mild and more delicious chips, still warm. The menu offers a lot of variety and we ordered from the Lunch Menu. Our order came out quickly, and portions were large. I ordered a taco salad with fajita steak and I enjoyed the grilled steak, onions and peppers, hot off the grill and I will order fajitas on a future visit. My companions enjoyed their enchiladas, tamales and quesadillas. I will also have to order tacos next time. I did think there was a lot of ground beef on the lunch menu, although there are chicken, steak and pork dishes as well on the regular menu. Overall, this was a solid restaurant with typical Mexican dishes. The friendly staff were eager to please which shifted this from a four star to a five star. HP needs more restaurants in its downtown area so I wish Blue Margaritas much success.

There was a time Pre-Covid when this place served decent food but that time has passed. Sure the owner is super nice but the food is just plain bad and he should know better! He served me a steak that was probably taken from the back of the freezer bcoz it was rank and tasted like spoiled meat. That did it for me! You know once you get food poisoning anywhere you just can't go back. Tables and floors are sticky and need a deep clean. I can only imagine the condition of the kitchen. If I had to compare Tamales with Taco Bell, TB offers more authentic food. Plus you'll come away more satisfied (even with their lettuce recall ) and less change outta ur wallet. Go there instead!

Arriving at 5:30pm there were very few people seated, but it felt warm and lively nonetheless! Our waitress was knowledgeable and confident in her recommendations, many of which we took! Great guacamole, salsa, and decent chips (perhaps could have been fresher), really great soups (my first time trying Menudo), and flavorful entrees (fantastic enchiladas). Some of the steak was a bit chewy and the refried beans were a touch underseasoned, but those were minor dings! Drinks were balanced, prices were decent, and overall we really enjoyed our experience.

We stopped in at Pixca on a Friday night for dinner. When we arrived many tables were open but when…read morewe asked for a table for two the host paused like he wasn't sure he could fit us in. He did find a table and during the course of our meal there were non-stop arrivals with a few heading straight to the small bar so I'm thinking perhaps it has a strong flow of regular customers. The service was efficient and the dining room has a cozy bistro feel to it. The menu is seasonal. Nothing was calling out to me so I went with the burger and fries. Both were good. Overall we are glad we gave Pixca a try. Before we go again we'll make a reservation and check the menu to see what the current options are.

We arrived very early at a random time, probably right after opening. Everyone was so nice and service was great. The table started with the cornbread, moist and warm. Not as sweet as I personally like (I can't help it I'm southern) but delicious nonetheless. The eggplant hummus wasn't that great to me, loved the bread it came with but I think I would prefer typical chickpea hummus instead. Brussels were so good, probably the favorite thing I tried. For my entree I had a kale salad with added salmon. I liked the crunch and the light vinaigrette. My husband had the seafood risotto which was slightly undercooked. All and all a positive experience and I'd definitely go back if I was in the area.

Service is quick and the establishment is clean. It reminds me of my trips to Morelia! Do yourself a favor and go. I'd say it's worth a 20 mile drive! Note I almost never do 5 stars, so 4 is great.

Large group. Split checks. 30 min to closing time. The food was very good and presented well. Plenty of seasoning and garnish.

I came across the reviews of Guzman y Gomez on Yelp, and it sounded great, and we decided to try it. When I looked it up, I found out that if I ordered through the app we could start earning rewards, so we did this, and went inside to pick up the order and eat. Everything was ready and waiting in a large bag for us to pick up. We grabbed it at the pick up window, and went into the dining area to sit and eat. I ordered two tacos, and my husband got a burrito. With the tacos, I chose ground beef, and chose mild on the seasoning. They were very good, although I think next time I'll try spicy and see if I like that even better. But what set them apart was that the taco shells themselves had some taco seasoning on them that was delicious. The tacos also just had the basics, which is how I like them - meat, cheese, and salsa. And two were plenty for me, very substantial. My husband tried the ground beef burrito, which was huge. He could only eat half, and took the other half to eat later. He said he enjoyed it a lot. We were looking forward to going back, but I read just now that all the Chicago locations have closed as of today. That's a shame, because we really liked it a lot.

They have a lot of protein you can choose from like grilled chicken, sirloin, steak, Carnitas, shredded beef, brisket, seasoned ground beef, or sautéed vegetables with guacamole. The burritos is on the smaller side, but it packs a punch full of flavor. From the fries to the salsa to the fresh pico. Highly recommended the Cali burrito. They also have this salsas, cilantro, and jalapeño and spicy pickled carrots station where you can help yourself . They also serve liquor here . The decor inside definitely has the Spanish theme. From the art on the wall to the vines hanging down from the ceiling . The service is great. I love how they have the open kitchen where you can see them cook.
