Mexican sounded good to everyone so we picked this spot and we're all very happy we did. Our server was kind and attentive. The place was lovely and decorated with just the amount of fun you expect. Some great photo ops in there. He even told us they were having a mariachi band tomorrow and invited us to come back. The food from the start with nachos and salsa to the end with tres leches was all delicious. I ordered the chorizo queso and it was fantastic. My son ordered the guacamole and it was so fresh and limey. Also delicious. My grandkids shared a quesadilla which was definitely large enough to do so with. My oldest grandson ordered a torte and he loved it. Also a generous portion. My son and I both ordered the grande burrito. He got his wet and I didn't. His was served on a plate and mine came wrapped in foil in a basket. I wish it would have also come on a plate. I like to cut it up to eat and the foil made that difficult to do. We ordered the tres leches to go because we were all so full. Enjoyed it the next day. Three of us could share on piece. It's delicious but very rich.

It took a while to order and to get her attention throughout our time there, but we eventually received everything we ordered. The birria was very tasty, with juicy meat and a crispy shell. The Margarita flights were small, mini tastings which left us wanting more (and yes, we did order more). Regarding the tres leches, it's not the greatest we've ever had but not the worst.

We started with Chips and Salsa ($4), and I ordered a Corona ($8). We ordered the Los Tres Panchos Combo #1, consisting of an enchilada, taco, and chalupa ($29), and a Two Enchiladas plate with shredded beef and rojo sauce ($22). Each plate came with salsa fresca, rice and refried beans. The chips were fresh and the salsa thick, but not too spicy. Our plates came in short order and looked great. I drizzled salsa atop my rice and beans. Yum! I managed to finish my plate; my tablemate tapped out before consuming all of the rice and beans. What did we think? The food was better than I remember; service was friendly and fast. Rating: 4.

I ordered our food for takeout, and it came out pretty fast. I ordered the Vampiro tacos, which is 4 open faced birria tacos. It doesn't come with consommé, and didn't need it to be honest. My husband got the 3 for $15 tacos, carne asada, pork belly, and birria. All good! Inside was pretty clean and nice and breezy for a Hawai'i day in February. We will definitely be coming back!

The menu has a broad selection: burrito, bowl, 2 tacos plate w/beans & rice, 1 taco, torta, quesadilla, salad. You choose your favorite protein (chicken, spicy chicken, carnitas, pastor, birria, steak) or Mexican potatoes or veggies. They also have "Fiesta Fries" or Nachos, w/birria or steak; 3 Quesabirrias & consume. You get to select the type of beans (black, pinto or refried) & salsa (mild or hot). In addition, you can choose to add pico, shredded lettuce, onions, cilantro, lime, jalapenos, corn, cheese, sour cream, guacamole. (Note: they also have "sides" of a variety of items like beans, chips, fries, tortillas, etc. We did not order any sides, so I'm not sure how large those servings are.) As a treat, you can try Jarritos (Mexican soda). They prepare your order fresh while you wait & are very courteous & friendly. Most dishes cost anywhere from $16-$21, which initially might seem a little expensive, but in my opinion are well worth it. They do not skimp on the serving portions & even a big eater would be satisfied! We tried the birria nachos, birria bowl & spicy chicken burrito. The birria (shredded beef) is very tasty & soft. The nacho chips are thick & freshly fried, so they held up well under all the toppings. We took the food "to go" & the chips were still crunchy ~30 minutes later. The bowl is a great low carb option. I'm assuming the burrito was good because my husband barely came up for air while devouring it. The hot salsa was very tasty. (The food looked & smelled so good that I only remembered to take some pics after we ate half our dishes!) Overall, I would recommend this establishment. We will be back!

I ordered nachos with al pastor, and that thing was so big, I don't know how they made the container close! The al pastor meat was a bit hard, but still flavorful. I was able to add as many toppings as I wanted, and the ratio of toppings to chips--was very generous, plus under them all was not just grated cheese, but also orange cheese sauce--a fond memory of mine from 7-Eleven nachos back in the prehistoric times. I love that stuff! The food court was practically empty, the music was loud and parking was easy. I'd happily go back for more!

It was simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious.

The portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth, and the spicy sauce has the perfect kick with amazing flavor that takes everything to the next level. If you're craving satisfying, authentic-tasting Mexican food, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back!
