    Pambazo
    Lauren N.

    The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. It is spaceous with ample seating. We were seated right away. They serve you homemade chiops and salsa. the salsa could use a little more cilantro and make it a little more juicy instead of chunky pico (just my opinion). We ordered the alambre with juicy seasoned meat, cheese and bacon. It was delicious. I had the pambazo with fried pork, cheese, cream, and lettuce. It was pretty good, but the bread fell apart. i prefer a torta to this. I would come back again to try a quesadilla.

    I really enjoyed this authentic Mexican restaurant. When you walk in, it looks more like a dance hall, so the vibe is definitely a little unusual, but don't let that fool you. The food is fantastic. I tried every taco and the chile relleno, and everything was absolutely delicious. The biggest surprise was the octopus taco. It was cooked perfectly, packed with meat, and easily better than the ones I've had at high-end Mexican spots that charge twice the price.

    Bistec & barbacoa tacos

    Grabbed tacos here after a day at Biscayne National Park and they hit the spot. We ordered the pollo, bistec, barbacoa, and fish tacos and each one was delicious. Honorable mention for the agua fresca which was the perfect refreshment for a sunny day!

    Delicious, Authentic, and Friendly Vibes!!! Do not be fooled by the area of the shopping center may look a bit sketchy at first but the staff are super welcoming and friendly. The food is was very fresh and tastes like real Mexican food no bs. I just love the freshness of the food and quality seems like it does not compare to other places I been too. Loved the music and they have a bar you can just go up (: Highly recommend!

    Tacos of: cabeza, lengua, cactus, tripe, octopus, grouper

    Being born and raised in Miami, I came into town with my little family to see the rest of the family for Easter. My girlfriend was looking for some cabeza tacos... and after searching on Yelp I found this restaurant. We got here, and immediately the service was AMAZING. We got greeted almost immediately after being seated and drinks were brought out shortly after. We just looked at the menu and were going to try an assortment of tacos just to try. The server, Bianca, recommended their grouper taco, and honestly at first we weren't sure how it was going to be. But... it ended up being our favorite out of all of them. The whole experience was great and I would recommend this place to anyone. The whole environment of the restaurant was amazing as well.

    Found this online with good yelp reviews. The outside looks a bit sketchy looks run down, but you will forget that once you are inside. The staff greeted me and said I can take any seat I wish. Food was delicious and inexpensive. The horchata drink was heavenly tasty. If you are in the mood for authentic Mexican food, this place is the spot to go. Been here twice already.

    Tortilla soup.

    Just finished dinner and I was delighted with the service and food. This is not a fancy place but the great food is the selling point. The tacos were authentic and delicious. The barbacado were my favorite. The tortilla soup was plentiful and tasty. The dark Modelo came to the table ice cold. Our server gave us great service and menu recommendations. We will be back.

The place was busy, with a steady flow of people coming and going, which is usually a good sign. Once inside, we were greeted right away and the service was incredibly friendly and fast throughout our visit. The atmosphere had the familiar feel of a traditional Mexican restaurant, but with a genuine family owned, mom & pop charm that made it feel welcoming and authentic. I ordered the Mexican steak with jalapeños, while my fiancée went with the flautas. Both dishes were excellent and fresh, flavorful, and well seasoned without being overdone. The steak was cooked just right and had plenty of flavor. My fiancée especially loved the yellow rice and kept talking about it long after we left. Overall, this was one of those unexpected finds that turns into a place you'll want to come back to. Great food, friendly people, and a welcoming atmosphere. It would be worth the hour drive back here from fort lauderdale. We'll definitely be returning.

I'm not going to lie the food has always been good, which is why we kept coming back despite the drive. The waitresses know us by now. It's always me, my mom, and my husband, and if one of the three of us is missing they actually ask where the other person is. That's how regular we are. Because it's a long drive for us, we usually bring a small lunch box with water bottles and Coke Zero for the trip. Today, under the guise of offering us ice for our lunch box, our waitress opened our lunch box, looked through it, and then shook her head at someone else like she was signaling "no, not here." We were honestly stunned. We paid and as we were leaving I told her, "If you wanted to check my lunch box for alcohol, you could have just asked." She immediately started saying "No, no, I was just curious because I want to start driving around with one too," and I told her flat out, "No you weren't." If I wanted to get drunk, I certainly wouldn't pick this place to do it. I have honestly never felt so disrespected. TSA doesn't even go through my bags like that. The rose-colored glasses are officially off. Again, the food is good, but I'm also not blind to the fact that this is a hot trailer on the side of Krome where you're constantly fighting flies around your food while you eat. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants where I can order a Coke Zero in air conditioning, or I can find another food truck,they're a dime a dozen.

So I did it with chicken instead. My daughter ordered the chicken tenders and French fries. My plate was huge! It turned into three or four meals! My daughter ate all of her chicken tenders except some of the breading. They were a little overly breaded. I like the condiment bar. But only one person can serve themselves at a time there and there was a guy up there when I got my food and I wanted to go up and add some toppings to my plate. He was filling up about 8 little cups and just looking around. After waiting a few minutes I asked him if he was done since he was just looking. He said he wasn't, but He let me in to grab my stuff. By the time we left around 2pm the restaurant there weren't any open tables. The waitress was nice. I would return.
