We sat at the bar while we waited and ordered a delicious pitcher of raspberry house margaritas. We were seated and brought fresh chips and salsa. Portion sizes are large! My steak and cheese burrito was so good and I had leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day.

Wow. The wifey and I stopped here for a quick bite. Started with the guacamole, it was a huge…read moreportion, good, not great, but everything got better from there. The La Grandeza margarita was excellent. I got the birria tacos and a tamale and they were both fantastic. The tamale was soft and full of chicken and smothered in a mole style sauce. It was delicious. The birrias were crispy and the beef was tender and the dipping sauce was great. Not proud of this but when the tacos were gone I drank what was left of that birria sauce like I was downing a shot. It was soooooo good. All the people working here were super friendly. It's a nice little joint, cute but very casual. We will definitely be back!

I came in with my family for some delicious food; that is exactly what we got!…read more The inside of the restaurant is nicely decorated with beautiful murals which I enjoyed. The staff here was also nice and very helpful with the menu. I ordered the three tacos for $15. I got the carne asada, which is steak, avocado salsa, pico, and cotija cheese. Then I got two of the $1 upgrade tacos, which were the citrus shrimp taco, which is citrus shrimp, cabbage, pico, crema, and then the flyin' Hawaiian, which is huli chicken, pineapple salsa, scallion, and soy glaze. These tacos were spectacular! I loved every single one of them, and they are some of the best tacos I've had in Rochester. The chips and salsa that came with the tacos were also pretty good. For my drink, I ordered some pretty good horchata. My mom got the chimi carnitas burrito, and it was massive! It is a fried burrito, choice of carne asada, chili beef or carnitas, filled w/ pinto beans, Mexican cheese served w/ lettuce, avocado salsa, pico, crema I do have to say the entrance to the restaurant is extremely inaccessible on top of a hill with stairs, so I had to take off a star for that.

Love coming here for the 3 tacos for $15. I always get the carne asada tacos and the elote bowl…read more The tacos come with chips and I love dipping them in the elote which is so flavorful. The tacos are cooked to perfection and the meat is so juicy and tender. Service is great as your food comes out very fast. After you pay at the counter, you get a buzzer which lets you know when your food is ready. We sat outside this weekend where there's ample seating available, and the weather was perfect.

We decided to try a new place and i saw a pic of the Chili Relleno online and had to try it…read more The place is medium sized. The server was very helpful and attentive. The food was hot when it arrived and it did not disappoint. The chili was prepared differently from other places in town. The chili was un battered and placed on black beans in a bowl. Stuffed with cheese and topped with sauce. It was great. My partner got the carnitas and they came with grilled cheese and onions. They were pretty good too. Highly recommend trying Mecate. I'll definitely be back

By far the worst Mexican food I think I've ever had... or maybe the worst service... or both…read more We got there after a movie across the street around 3:45. Place was empty. We waited to be seated. Sat in the back area. Waited about 4 minutes for a venue. THEY only serve Pepsi products so I ordered water. The server appeared to be annoyed woth my water and lemon order. My friend got a Pepsi. Chips were average but fine but the salsa was bitter and tasteless and very watery. Tasted like the juice from a can of stewed tomatoes. Took 10 minutes to come back for the order. She didn't greet us ; just stood there with her pad and waited for us to order. Weird. We ordered a shredded chicken nachos to share. She rolled her eyes when I said to share and asked if "thats it?". Then left without a word. Rude doesn't even come close to what an awful server she was. Took 15 minutes for horrible nachos. Cold shredded chicken and very little of it, wilted shredded lettuce, white American cheese!!! Gross! Who has white American cheese on nachos??? And canned tasteless jalapeños. The tomatoes were pithy and tasted grain like they were old. More chips than toppings. I had to ask for a water refill. She just snatched it off the table and brought it back full. No words. She never came back to check on us or ask if we needed anything or if everything was okay. Not once. She dropped off the check and again said nothing but seemed annoyed. Awful experience. Yuck. Absolutely won't ever go again nor recommend.

I come from the central coast in California and grew up with migrant workers from Mexico. It's been hard finding a place that had authentic Mexican food since moving to Rochester but this place can not be more authentic. We had tacos (shrimp, al pastor and carne asada), fried plantains, guacamole, and much more. All fresh ingredients packed with delicious flavor. You must try this place!!!

This was my first time at Chuy's Taqueria and it was enjoyable. They offer both dine-in and takeout…read moreoptions, with indoor and outdoor seating available. I chose to order takeout. I was craving the shrimp tacos; however, since they only came with flour tortillas and I preferred corn, I decided on the Mexican bowl with shrimp instead. I also ordered a pineapple Jarritos. The wait was short, and when my order was ready, it arrived hot and fresh. My only gripe was that I wished there was more shrimp in the bowl, but overall, I liked it.

Ok. To be fair, we eat a lot of Mexican food and we don't get the most popular thing. If you just…read morewant a taco or enchilada, this might still be a good place. But the carnitas were not good. It kinda seemed like someone put them in an oven to heat and then forgot about them. Which might be why we waited 45 minutes after ordering. Hubbo liked his choripollo fine but it wasn't his favorite. We did get PLENTY of chips (crispy!) and salsa (good spice level!) and drink refills. They have a good shared system for tasks like that. We also got queso with ground beef for the chips. That was pretty good. We would try it again because we're curious about the chimichangas.

Definitely add on a side of their cheese sauce, it's so creamy and flavorful. My husband and I got the fajitas, and the portion size was enough for 3 meals! The shrimp was cooked just right with flavorful peppers, onions, and seasoning. Too full for dessert this time out, but always look forward to trying their seasonal, rotating tres leche cakes. Prices were very reasonable for portions. Service was prompt, efficient, and thoughtful. Highly recommend!

I usually have to wait a few minutes for it to cool down. It does not disappoint. My GF is more adventurous and orders something different each time, i must admit her choices do look pretty good. This time she got enchiladas and double beans. My grandson loves their chips and salsa. Even though it's a little spicy for him. He devours it. For his meal he gets 3 tacos. They are classic Texas style tacos. You get good sized portions and everything has tasted good. It's definitely one of the better Mexican food in ROC.

She was happy to answer any questions we had about the menu and gave great recommendations. We each ordered two tacos and we were surprised by how large they were. I ordered the 3 B's Taco and Sober Spicy Shrimp Taco. The flavor combinations were strong and delivered exactly what was described in the menu. I was given a 3rd taco because the Spicy Shrimp taco delivered was not double wrapped (hard shell and soft shell) as I ordered it. I thought it was great they corrected this with a free one without me even asking for this. Our table was also given chips and salsa upon arriving. The only aspect I did not enjoy was the restroom. It was very outdated and the stall has a huge gap where you can see inside. I feel the restroom does not match the overall decor and design of the restaurant which is very clean. Bathroom gives off dive bar vibes and could use an update.

Great place with their own take on specialty tacos.

We always have great service when we visit, and the food is always good. some tacos are more flavor packed than others. I usually stay away from the pork here because that seems to have milder flavor and I like my palate to be punched with salt, fat, acid, and heat; so if you like something with a milder flavor profile then the pork would be great for you.
