    And more tacos
    Reginald G.

    It's been a while since I've had food from here and decided to give them another shot. I'm glad that I did! Their tacos are delicious. You can probably skip the pastor, but the carnitas and asada are flavorful! And they are not shy about loading them up either! You will get a large taco for about $2.80. Keeping it 100, that's hard to beat most places. It can be a short wait to get your food, as it's cooked to order. So if you're in a hurry, call ahead of time. I say give them a shot if you like Mexican food.

    Carne Asada Tacos
    Sheena P.

    Came to this place on my lunch break. The staff greeted me right away and the place was very clean. They offered a delicious salsa and chips complimentary. I ate carne asada tacos and a tostada both tasted great! They also have a mini bar inside with TVs. I'd come here again!

    I've been coming to this place for years. I've always thought the food was decent and the prices were too bad. Sometimes the service was a little slow but overall they've been good to me. I haven't been here for a couple month and decided to get the shrimp ceviche again today. It was good but not as good as before. It seemed like it was missing something, like a spice or something. It tasted a little bland this time. I noticed that there was a different cook in the back. He's not as good as the old cook. Don't get me wrong. It was good, just not as good as I've had in the past. I also noticed that they changed their menu and prices. But like everything, the prices were going to go up. I'd say stuff went up an extra $2, but I think they're still cheaper than other Mexican restaurants. Their prices were cheap before. It was like a hidden gem. I'm curious to see how much their bean and cheese burritos went up. Bean and cheese burritos are my usual. Service was great that day. I'm sort of a regular there and they recognize me when I stop in. I'll still continue to come here. They have a special place in my heart.

    The menu price is different from what they charge

    I'd give no stars if I had a choice. We walked in- the lady told us to have a seat and from there we were having to serve ourselves and had to ask for menus, had to ask for water, had to ask for napkins, even had to ask for the food items we had ordered because she never ordered it for us and takes your order based off memory and didn't wright anything down getting our order wrong- WATCH YOUR RECEIPT!!! They charged us tax twice and when we brought it up to them- they weren't trying to fix anything. The price on their menus is NOT the price they charge you! Horrible... they sure try to get you if your not looking!

    The food was above average and the service was good. I would eat there again. The server was nice and tended to our needs

    Attended another Mexican taqueria down the road for a YELP event and it was pure chaos so we stopped in here. What a find! From the start the male elder host was cute and helped me w/our Spanish. The server was adorable with a permanent smile! Food: molcajete was delicious and one of the best I've had in Reno. Service: splendid Decor: clean, organized, cheerful We will be back! The molcajete was enough for 3 and delicious with a great sauce.

    Authentic Mexican Food

    Wow, we have not gone to this place yet and saw a few poor reviews. Not sure why because this Mexican restaurant ROCKS!!! Now I am not an expert with food but every dish we had tasted wonderfully and the service was fast and friendly. Loved that the area we were sitting in turns into a disco/dance area. Guess we weren't at the right time. Super affordable food, great quantity in terms of size of plate and so happy we stopped in. Happy to visit again! I would highly recommend.

    Tacos
    Joana S.

    I happened to be by the neighborhood and saw this restaurant sandwiched between other business centers. I ordered 3 tacos de lengua (cow tongue) and 3 tacos de cabeza (cow head) and they were delicious. I wasn't able to take a picture of the tacos right when they came out, but I took the aftermath. These are some of the best tacos I've had here in Reno. The cabeza tacos were so juicy and tender. I will definitely be here again. The service was also awesome and hospitable.

    THIS PLACE DESERVES MORE STARS! THE FOOD IS FINGER LICKING DELICIOUS! The service is great! A1! The ambiance is unmatched! My partner and I love it here and I can't recommend it enough. I had fish last night was to die for like literally almost say my death bed with the bones but hey be careful! My partner ordered the menudo and he finished that all up! Get yourself some Mexican food here and a drink! You won't regret it!

Chili Relleno, cheese enchilada, chicken taco, beans and rice, and a regular Margarita. Each of the dishes had its own distinct flavor profile. The margarita had a very light refreshing taste that was very enjoyable. They go down easy so be careful The service was incredible DENISE is not only the manager but a server too. She was cheerful, kind, and very attractive to all our needs. We had a party of 8 with 3 small children and she was a CHAMP! The ambiance was amazing. Like a old mexican cantina with raw bric and painted family portraits of the Matriarch of the family that started the restaurant. All in all I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!

    Ordered the masterpiece…read more Chili relleno was rather bland. There was no seasoning and the outside fell off of the chili while the cheese inside fell out of the chili. So maybe a 5/10. The enchilada sauce was again rather bland though creamy. Likely a 6/10. Just did not appeared to be seasoned in any way. The taco was a 5/10. I liked how they achieved the crunchy corn tortilla, but again it was very bland. The rice was soggy and flavorless. The refried beans had some cheese . But once again, no seasoning of any kind. The flan was pretty well made, though they didn't bother giving me the whipped cream. Our waitress was hostile to us and we ended up having to go up to the register to pay at the end after 1.75 hours. I had ordered the flan after somebody else ordered and it had come out. I wanted to see what it looked like before deciding. The waitress looked at me like "really" like why did I not order it earlier. When I asked for silverware after getting it she just about snapped. She hadn't cleaned up the extra silverware on the table as is normally expected so she grabbed it and slammed it by me like she was losing it. The air of the place kind of gave off a toxicity like nobody wanted to be there, everyone was miserable, and the customers were treated as annoyances that needed to get out. The food came across as the kitchen having lost all passion for cooking and doing the absolute bare minimum. Felt like I was at a restaurant from kitchen nightmares and Gordon Ramsay was going to walk in at any second. I had terrible gas and pain after getting home even 5 hours later so I am pretty sure the chili relleno had gluten, though that's my fault. We ended up here because there were not many decent options open at 3:30 pm. It was a place nobody really wanted to go to and I do not imagine that we will ever find ourselves here ever again. Rather not feel like our waitress is about to attack us and the people at the register look at us like go away.

I was glad that I did finally drop in. Located in a little strip mall on Valley Road, it's an unassuming place from the outside. The inside is small, but comfortable and it felt very "homey". When I walked in, the first thing that hit me was the smell of delicious food wafting through the air. The tastes did not disappoint. We were greeted and sat promptly by a personable young man that brought us water. The owner then brought us our drinks...a margarita for my dining companion and a Mandarin Jarritos for me. My sip of the margarita tasted amazing! Great balance and flavor. We also received a basket of chips and salsa. You could tell that they were made fresh to order. The chips were crispy and hot. The salsa was outstanding...fresh cilantro...balanced combination of flavors with a nice, subtle kick of spiciness at the back end. Not too spicy...just right. I usually have to ask for something hotter...not in this case. The food was amazing! My dining companion ordered the Chile Relleno plate and I got the Molcajete. The prices are outstanding and the amount of food? Huge plates! My Molcajete was sizzling hot and overflowing with chicken, beef, shrimp, nopales and ground beef mixed with veggies. A large plate of refried beans and spanish rice also accompanied this presentation. Fresh, hot, delicious corn tortillas rounded out each of our orders. We were also given a couple of squeeze bottles of sauces...green and red...to add to our meals if we wanted. Freshly made and the bottles were presented in a plastic tub filled with ice to keep them cold. Great addition to the already amazing food! There's also a nice selection of Mexican hot sauces on the table for you to choose from. We both took to-go boxes...so much food! Mine lasted for 2 more meals! I plan to return on a regular basis...this is now one of my favorite local places for great Mexican food. As always, I suggest that you visit to see what YOU think...
