Saw the raving reviews and am so glad I stopped by while in the area. These were some of the best…read moretacos I've ever had. The meat quality and flavor for both the pastor and asada were incredible. They put a lot of meat! Warm and not dry tortillas too. They gave me 4 sauces without even asking for my 3 tacos. Both looked homemade and the verde salsa that I usually use at all taco spots was way more flavorful. Will come back for sure. Another standout was the pastor meat was saucy and seemed like there was a hint of sweetness maybe from pineapple? If so, 10/10 because pineapple is always a perfect pairing with pastor tacos but a lot of places don't use it. If you like tacos come here!!! They also have bakery as well.

Food 3/5 Service 3.5/5…read moreAmbiance 3/5 To me, El Imperio was a pretty promising place - the pictures I saw in advance were quite alluring, and the smell of good Mexican food is always a pleasant one. I left slightly disappointed, but it's quite possible my standards are just through the roof. I ordered the Molcajete Fajitas with beef. I usually expect something like a skirt or hanger steak, so I was a bit disappointed when they came out with ground beef - admittedly, it's not a bad choice given the form factor of the serving vessel, but it definitely was a bit on the tougher side texturewise. The ratio of meat to veggies also wasn't great either - I do remember lots of veggies in each of my tacos, which maybe is a sign that I need more veggies in general. The seasoning was also a bit on the weaker side - not to say it wasn't bad, but it doesn't give the same bold flair I'm used to in Mexican food. The accompaniments to the fajitas were okay, with nothing being super standout. I will say, the tortillas were quite delicious - nice and fluffy, and they were kept warm with the hot molcajete. Overall, I think there's still room for improvement - I like the creative gimmick of a hot molcajete, but it's going to take more than a hot bowl to deliver on true Mexican tastes.

I met Don Omar! Yes Don Omar!…read more Don Omar was such a nice guy I would've never imagined I'd run into him here. I spent about 30 minutes chatting with him. Told me all about his childhood growing up. How much he loved Mexican food since he was a kid and how it inspired him to write his music. Who doesn't love Don Omar's music. I mean it's famous! His love songs to the mid west winter and tales of corn and horses are inspiring coming from a Mexican American folk singer. He says he eats here regularly. If you'd like to run into a banjo playing legend! Come here

It was hard to choose just one after being presented with a sampler. The mole verde is complex and exquisite. The chips are freshly-made on site and the best we've had in a long time. The enchiladas are made to perfection with white shredded chicken, corn tortillas, sour cream and cheese with a side of rice and fresh lettuce and tomatoes. Antonio, the owner, is friendly, helpful and humble. The restaurant is small but clean, colorful and quiet. Our bill was only $30 for two. A bargain for an authentic Mexican dining experience!
