I forgot that I've been to this place circa 2019 and didn't like it even though my buddy's wife…read moreinsisted it's the best place in town. There must be better burritos in town. This visit, I had a bacon breakfast burrito and sprinkled their green salsa on it. My complaints today are the same I had in 2019 when I had a carne asada burrito if memory serves: 1) The tortilla was cold 2) The burrito was barely warm but not warm enough to melt the cheese. The contents of the burrito were decent. The eggs weren't burned. It's just too bad that it was not warm. There were only 2 or 3 other customers. Staff and customers were very friendly. I felt welcome. Parking lot was small and only one way in and out so I can see how it would really suck if it gets busy. I'm sorry I can't seem to enjoy this place as much as so many other people do.

Service: Friendly and helpful. Thank you Bertha for the warm welcome!!! 5/5…read moreAmbiance: Clean spacious comfortable and casual. Two large dining areas, open seating plan. Not stylish or festive ... but also not loud or off putting either. Basic. 4/5 Food: Traditional and comforting....generous portions. Ordered the chile verde/chile colorado from the chef specialities section of menu....our lovely server Bertha pointed it out since my cousin wanted to try both.....I had the very cheesy chile relleno.....came with generous portion of beans and rice...it was great for me nothing too salty but the two rellenos were only lukewarm tho the cheeze was well melted....it was good and hearty 4/5......chips and salsa free....the chips had a Doritos style color dusting of red 5/5 some kind of spice maybe??...it was fresh and crunchy and kinda thick, we liked it plus the salsa was not hot just tangy....we asked for Pico de Gallo but they don't serve it a la carte apparently. It comes as part of an entree, but never found out which one. Turns out the cook/owner was once the executive chef at Angel Stadium. So food was solid, traditional and nothing fancy nouvelle or la de da...nothing crazy experimental...just good solid Mex that will satisfy a craving. The Jamaica was not too sweet not too sour....not watered down...light and refreshing....wish I had asked for a refill or maybe they don't do refills on agua frescos, I don't know. Very nice extensive menu. Plenty of free parking. Tucked in the corner of a strip mall on Roaemead Blvd. Not easily visible from the street in any direction. So pay attention to your GPS.

We happened to come upon this place by accident and came over because there was a line where we…read morewere headed. The place was EMPTY and the reason for the 3 stars is because while the server saw us from the parking lot and saw and heard us come in she did NOT come to where we were to welcome us or to ask is we wanted to dine in or take out..... We asked 2 times if they were open and finally after the 2nd ask were we told to take a seat wherever we wanted. Overall Service: SLOW but pleasant once we were seated. FOOD Chips - Cold, hard and bland Salsa - Tasty NOT hot and spicy Food Temperature: Warm Carne Asada - Tasty but tough meat DID not look like the menu photo, no avocado Rice - Good Camarones Al La Diabla - Tasty, spicy and really good Note: We were told the order would be about 15 minutes which was fine by us and while we thought it would be HOT, it was only warm. Overall Food: The taste was really good only thing is the carne Asada needed to be a little tender and not so tough and the meal itself should've been hit. Still good and would come back fir take out ti heat at home. PS I would call in my order so it'll be ready for pick up rather than wait. COST They have the best prices for what you are served, reasonable for sure.

I gotta give it them, I've been impressed. I first tried them out several months ago. I ordered…read morehard tacos and I wasn't aware of how long it takes to order food, and then wait around for it to be served. I think I was there nearly an hour. I was very annoyed because I just thought it was going to be a quick turn around for some tacos! I almost left without the food because I had things to do! Lol luckily I stuck it out and when I tried the tacos I was very pleased. The meat was moist and flavorful. The lettuce and tomato were fresh. The salsa was good. I thought, I need to come back try other things. Fast forward to tonight - I finally returned. Again, the line was long and ordering took nearly 30 minutes before it was my turn. I ordered sopes de asada and tacos suaves de cabeza, lengua and pastor. It took over 30 mins to get the food but when it came it looked delicious and I thought all the items were very good. I ESPECIALLY loved the taco de pastor. It had great flavor and was so juicy! The lengua was very tender and had a good flavor. The cabeza was also tender with good flavor. They definitely season and cook their meats well. Too may places have very bland meats, and/or it's very chewy or dry or whatever else goes wrong. The asada on the sope was very tasty and it also was tender. I would definitely return. Do not come here if you're in a rush. This place is good if you have a lot of free time lol. It really is one cashier. There are no waiters. You have to ask the cashier for things you want like salsa or lemon or refills. I don't know why they don't get another person to help with the front, or another cook. So, just come, be chill, and expect to wait.
