Ordered food online via their website and drove there to pickup.

Pick-up food hall parking is small and crowded during peak hours, but at least it goes fast since it's all pick-up. 1 lunch entrée + one-size smoothie cost were both fresh, but I found the protein portions meager for the price as it was just a few pieces of meat, heavily tofu and all vegetables.

This place serves gluten free food and that's what I like about it. We ordered Chicken Fajitas and it came with some salsa, guacamole and tortillas. It was 10 on 10. Next was Shrimp tacos and it didn't disappoint either. The chicken wings were a bit too sweet for my taste. They used to have a Roasted Chicken dish but the server said that they just recently removed it from the menu. It used to be my go to order in this restaurant. Overall it was a great dinner. Their servers are always very friendly and attentive. Only issue is they are a little slow in taking the order but hopefully it was just because of the rush time.

We ordered the tlayuda morada and gorditas. The only difference between the tlayuda & tlayuda morada is the purple shell. Inside the tlayuda was this extremely flavorful chorizo, cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce. I absolutely loved the thin steak that was served on top. It was so flavorful and I personally would've preferred that over the chorizo inside. Also, it was really large and tbh, quite difficult to eat. But it was definitely worth it hassle! The gorditas were soo good. The outside was crispy and the inside was cheesy and delicious. We got asada & lengua. The lengua here has the perfect balance of rich & fatty pieces and more lean ones.

I…read morefound this place on Yelp with great reviews, and since it was nearby, we decided to give it a try. We ordered through DoorDash for pickup, and everything was ready right at the time requested. I even received a notification when the order was ready, which made pickup easy. One thing to note is that the restaurant is tucked away in the back of the plaza. The arrow on the sign in the front actually threw us off, and we ended up walking all around the building, past the pizza place and around the corner before finding it. It's located across from Star Aquatics and Fitness. When we walked in, there was a designated ordering area near the entrance. A couple was already being helped, but another employee quickly came over to assist us. I told her we were picking up a DoorDash order, and after asking for my name, she also asked how much salsa we wanted and generously gave us two containers of each variety. For food, I ordered the appetizer flautas and a birria taco. The flautas came with a salad-like accompaniment. The two flautas were cut in half and were smaller than I expected, but they were tasty and nicely prepared. The birria taco was packed with meat, which I appreciated, although I was hoping the meat would be a little juicier. The hot sauces were excellent, though, and definitely elevated the taco. The ladies seemed to enjoy their food as well, and there weren't any complaints from the group. It's always nice when everyone can find something they like. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'm glad we gave this place a try. Next time I'd love to come back and try the nachos or some of their other menu items.

Check your empanada for mold!…read more We stopped by for breakfast and got chilaquiles and a chicken and mole empanada. Enjoyed our chilaquiles (do try this if you stop by), and were wrapping up our meal with the empanada when we discovered a chunk of fuzzy blue grey mold in the MIDDLE of the empanada about 1" in length and 3/8" wide. The empanada was already cut in half and wasn't showing from the outside or the cut area, but the mold was in one half of the empanada and I broke the other half which was normal looking. Thankfully we spit it out, and didn't eat the bite that we took. The waitress had offered to replace it but we said no because we were so shocked. We were kind of disappointed that the manager didn't try to come and address the issue with us. Just left it to their serving staff who quickly cleared our table and gave us the check. Might go back for the other food items, but definitely NOT the empanadas.

Finally, someone with the same cravings brought me here. It was a slow weekday night. We were the only customers there, so for a second, I thought my date booked the whole restaurant (what, a woman can wish can't she?). Our waiter Michael O. was AMAZING. He did a few awesome fire displays with our drinks, and calaveras! I enjoyed his energy as much as I enjoyed the food. I had the Valentine's Day special, which included a nice sized steak and a lobster. The flavor in the steak was perfect. Nicely seasoned, and tender. I ate the lobster so fast yal, I don't remember what it tasted like. But I assure you, it must have been good lol.

Mexi-Can Acopio is a…read morephoenix-rising-from-the-ashes story, as this building was the original home of Lorena's Taqueria before a terrible fire in 2012 forced them to relocate to their new digs on N. 13th St. Wisely, the family held onto the property for years before their chef-trained daughter, and the restaurant's namesake, Lorena, decided to repurpose it into a contemporary, elevated Mexican restaurant, along with her also chef-trained brother and a few others whose combined oeuvre of experience includes Michelin-starred Chez TJ, Alexander's-by-the-Sea, and Naschmarkt, to name a few. The Good: * A small private lot, as well as street parking, is available. * Reservations via their website * Outdoor, dog-friendly seating * Great bar program with signature cocktails and a nice selection of local brews on tap * Small, curated menu that changes seasonally * Great service from our server, Jayleen * Costillas de Elote (aka corn ribs) may seem like a nothing dish, but man, it was bursting with flavor and was one of the (many) highlights of the night * The Carne en su Jugo was a great riff on a classic French cassoulet, but with a Mexi kick in flavor * I couldn't resist the Duck Mole dish, as it featured two of my favorite foods in one savory and delicious plate. The confit duck leg was fantastic and fell off the bone, and the sweet and savory chocolate mole was the perfect foil. However, to me, the unheralded star of the dish was the fried masa brick, done up like a classic potato pavé, which deserves a special shoutout * For dessert, their rendition of Tres Leches cake was fantastic! The crispy turulete (corn-based cookie) on top gave a nice crunch to go along with the sweet cake, and the tart notes from the green apples really tied it all together for a complex and delicious dessert The Meh: * Happy Hour (Wed-Sat, 5 p.m.-6:30 p.m., and all day on Sun) menu and drinks are limited to the bar area only * Only open for dinner * As many have noted, the neighborhood is a little sus, but honestly, it's not that bad. Just lock your car (as you should everywhere these days), and you'll be fine--I promise The Ugly: * The number of people I know--or have seen online--who hate on elevated Mexican cuisine is kinda crazy. As if only French or American cuisines are allowed to be fancy--it's honestly a bunch of bullshit. If anything, LUNA has shown for years now that it can be done, and Acopio continues in that vein Conclusion: I had high expectations coming in, and Acopio met or exceeded every one of them. I'm a bit surprised they haven't received a nod from the Michelin Guide yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if one is in the works at some point in the future. Highly recommended.
