We ordered a side of guac, 3 beer batter fried fish tacos, and birria tacos. I also ordered a drink. We opened the bag and I got a flattop grilled fish as opposed to the beer batter fried fish tacos like I ordered. I didn't want to wait for my food again but it was rather disappointing that we went through the effort of going through the ordering options for it to still not come out right. My husband had the birria tacos and mentioned that that weren't bad, just not one go out of his way for again. I went to try it and it was super dried out even after dipping into the consume which was lacking a bit in flavor. Then for the drink, they forgot to give it to us, and when we came in they gave us a 4 ounce cup for our 3.50 Jamaica aqua Fresca. When we asked the hostess she looked at us like we were speaking a foreign language and offered us an orange jarrito. All in all, we were rather disappointed with this experience but hope that another try down the line will be better.

While in town for a work seminar, the front desk assistant at my hotel recommended this place with…read morea personal rave review. So, I stopped in during the week, just after lunch time and found this little hole-in-the wall of a restaurant conveniently nestled in a shopping center next to the local Walmart. Even though I walked in and the restaurant was completely empty, the pure vibrancy of the decor and the cheerfulness of the staff encouraged me to stay. Not to mention that the aroma making its way out from the kitchen was absolutely mouth-watering. I took a seat at the bar while I perused the menu and was delighted in the simplicity of it. You know the food is about to be fire when the menu is simple and a restaurant focuses on what it does well. In addition to the excellent service, the food was absolutely phenomenal. I started off with some chips and salsa.... which was delightfully flavorful and perfectly crisp. Then, I had a bowl of the tortilla soup. Each spoonful was like deja vu. Each bite made me feel like I was in my grandmother's kitchen as a little girl all over again. The broth was perfectly seasoned and each bite came with a chunk of chicken and an assortment of veggies... truly perfecto! Once I was done with the appetizers, I made my decision to try two tacos from the menu. The first was a salmon taco--and it didn't TASTE FISHY. It was grilled to perfection and then paired with an unexpected yet delicious topping of crispy potato strings and chipotle aioli. I ate every bite of this. It was the perfect combination of crunch and flavor, I just couldn't get enough. Then I also ordered the carne asada a cabron taco. Simple, yet dynamically flavorful. I was so full at this point but took this one home to eat at a later time. Still as amazing as the day I ordered it i'm sure. While I neglected to have any desserts or margaritas here, I was assured that they are just as remarkable as anything else. I had a wonderful meal, excellent service and I greatly look forward to going back if i'm ever in the area again for work. 10/10 Highly recommend!!

But don't take it from this Chinese guy, but my Mexican friend said it was really good. The table got warm chips and salsa, and we ordered the guacamole as well. I like my guac chunky, and the guacamole here was perfect. The caldo de pollo was really flavorful. The chicken stock was fantastic and the amount of chicken, and veggies were good. I also ordered the chicken carnitas, which I thought would be more carnitas-like, but I guess this is how it's made. Overall, still very good, and the lunch special was plentiful. Service was great, the ambiance was like I was in Mexico (never been there before), with authentic Mexico ranchero music blaring in the dining area. Will come back and try the other items on the menu.

It seems like a hidden gem in my opinion, they have alcohol, a full menu or traditional Mexican cuisine and are very reasonably priced for what you get. There are plenty of tables for dining in. Our food came out very quickly and was pretty good, our waitress was also very friendly. I highly recommend the shrimp Diabla plate - a big portion that comes with tortillas, while spicy, not insanely spicy. Overall, highly recommended.
