The flavor is spot on - the green & red sauce add a good amount of spice to offset the richness of the meat. We also had the street corn which is creamy & delicious. We had a 1/2 lb of Chicherones - they were high quality pork belly - crispy on the edges & fatty in the middle. I prefer the cracklins, but these were delicious. We had 1 other taco entree, but the name escapes me now. I was assured it was also delicious. I definitely recommend this place. Don't think you'll get away cheap from this place because you won't... but I must say it was worth every penny!! The staff is very friendly too. We will definitely go back.

I was actually in the mood for breakfast burrito and i also order a bunch of other items to try them. Everything was tasty and delicious. The breakfast was decently sized. The taco meat were great, and the churros were so delicious. What i like about this place is the price... felt like its extremely affordable for what you get. Guess this place makes money off the volumes. what's surprising is that, they have taco tuesdays. only 99 cents, which is insane with inflation. i legit thought all tacos places got rid of 99 cent tacos. Good to know they still have it around. The workers are very nice and friendly. They also have live music, at least when i went.

Little ones had a blast on the outdoor play area that families have direct access to their kids out on the patio space. I believe this used to be a daycare that was closed down during the pandemic and the owners then bought it and turned it into a restaurant. Rare to find an exposed playground at a sit down restaurant. A+ for that alone. The mango margarita is refreshing and not too sweet; I enjoyed the happy hour pricing. Fajitas were fine. We would definitely get their tres leches and sopapolllas again! All in all I highly recommend for parents looking for a spot for their kids under the age of five.

On the plus side, It has plenty of parking and a large lobby in case there is a wait. As far as food goes, the chips and salsa are fresh but pretty standard, there is nothing really to make these stand out. They are alright. This most recent visit I got a Paola's Plate with 3 different enchiladas. It had been about 2 years since I had last been to Mena's, but I don't remember it being so heavy. Out of the dish, the sour cream enchilada was the best one, but the queso on the soft cheese taco was too heavy and the chile con carne on the cheese enchilada was almost inedible. Service here is typically pretty transactional. We really felt like we were an obstacle to our waiter getting to do something else.

Maybe that was for larger parties, not sure. Our server did his job adequately but did not take my car order after I ordered a water to start and never asked if I wanted anything else to drink even after my whole party ordered beers and cocktails. The food was hit and miss. The Al Pastor was tasty but on the greasy side, the Spanish rice was very tomato sauce forward but was cooked to a perfect tenderness. The salsas were good and the side salad that came with my tacos and the charro beans were delicious. Easily the 2 stars of my plate. I would go for the Nachos if you are gna do the Al Pastor and skip the tacos as the greasiness made the tortillas very soggy and fall apart. They also do not give limes on the side but they do give cilantro and onion as well as a spicy sauce to put on top if you want it. I would give this place another shot and try the enchiladas or chimichanga next time.

It had a cute patio (it was too cold at the time) and inside is somewhat intimate with how dimly lit it is. Service was pretty straightforward, we ordered and we were checked on consistently. I had ordered Manuel's enchiladas and they were so perfectly saucy. I like that there was a variety because I can never make up my mind on what I want. We finished off with the coconut flan and it was everything I wanted. The coconut flavor and flakes added a whole different level to flan for me. I've never had it this way before. I look forward to having it again!

Let me tell you they were cooked really well. Crispy on the outside and a little chewy on the inside which is perfect for me. Tortillas were ok but didn't seem homemade. Overall they were tasty. Salsa was decent. Simple taco. My meal order was the pork in green chili sauce meal. This was actually pretty good and the beans and rice were flavorful. The flour tortillas didn't seem like they came out of a bag. I washed it all down with a horchata that was good but maybe missing cinnamon. Final review is this place was good but nothing over the top. I might go back to try something else and see if the menu is consistent.

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5. Loved the decor near the restrooms and patio too.
