We were greeted warmly at the door and seated at a table near the bar. We ordered margaritas. I must say I was underwhelmed. Clearly, premixed and contained too much syrup. The Honey was so confused and disappointed. We started with Chili Con Carne and Ceviche as appetizers. He enjoyed the chili but, we both prefer our ceviche prepared in lime/citrus juices. This one was prepared in a red sauce. Our entrees of Cazuela del Mar and Ensalada de Taco (Chicken) were fresh, flavorful and delicious! These meals saved the day. Flan for dessert was an excellent choice. We've decided this establishment is worth a return visit. We will try other dishes sans the drinks and apps that didn't tickle our fancies this time.

The portions are generous, and the sauce bar is a great touch that lets you customize your plate just the way you like it. So far, I've tried the brisket tostadas and steak tacos--both were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I've heard rave reviews about the al pastor and birria as well (though I don't eat pork), and I wouldn't be surprised if they're just as amazing. The taqueria is cozy, with seating for around 8 tables, and their drinks are all made in-house. I really enjoyed the Jamaica and tamarindo, and they also offer horchata and passion fruit. It's such a great addition to our town--authentic, flavorful, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

The campechano taco is a nice staple but outshining that as an absolute must is the sopes (I get mine with chorizo) The breaded steak torta needs onion... and more beans and everything but is still good with the right bread for the job.

Use your imagination! Lol Totally feelings it, ok my sexy man says lets check it out. And so we did. We were warmly greeted by staff. Our server Mario was so humble, helpful and patient. We started with extra crispy wings! Oh yeah. Awesome! The $4 house salad was fresh and crispy. Great price but that can change in a minute due to inflation. Joe was very pleased with his chicken and steak Fijatas topped with white cheese. I enjoyed 3 Chicken Street Tacos with green sauce ( ask for it). Oh and I'll mention my Mango Margarita was awesome. Everything is 100% authentic Portuguese! I am 50% German and 50% English. Joe is Italian. Favorite food is Columbian/ Mexican and Spanish. Go figure! Lol So, thank you Mario.
