    Read a great review by Tara T on this restaurant. So I decided to swing by and have lunch. What an odd set up. Four parking spots and a drive thru. I parked and went inside. Tight quarters, but clean and well organized. Decent sized seating area. Easy ordering, classic menu. I ordered carne asada tacos and Tara was right, these are street tacos (I opted to leave off the guac) but double the normal street tacos size. These came with a larger single corn tortilla that was cooked in some fashion as it held together really well. Meat has a great flavor, onions and cilantro are fresh. I ate these as served with no sauce, and they were delicious. Good quality beef, well seasoned and thoroughly cooked. They have bottled drinks, a soda dispenser (Pepsi products) and a condiment bar. I'll be back. Will probably drive through next time. Thanks Tara T!

    I have visited two locations. One downtown (near UNR) and South Reno on Steamboat. I have had their breakfast burritos. I've also had the carne asada burrito and their special priced chicken tacos on Wednesday nights. Kinda weird that it's not on the traditional "Taco Tuesday" night? The breakfast burrito was filling, hot and satisfying. Fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage and potatoes. The carne asada burrito is delicious. It comes with a good portion of steak and guacamole. The chicken tacos are not my favorite. While they have a great price they taste like saw dust and are loaded full of grease and they also come with cheese. We all know that Mexicans don't put cheese on a taco....onions and cilantro only, and I happen to agree. They have a very nice condiment bar with red and green salsa, green onions, radishes, cut limes, and pickled carrots with jalapeños. Try both salsas, but the red has just a touch of heat.

    You have a return policy and didn't honor it.

    Miscommunication on the menu. Taco combo does not state it's hard shell tacos only. Lady in the kitchen was rude about not wanting to fix the order after I asked politely. So, some feedback: clarify your menu, do not be unnecessarily rude to your locals, and do not park your massive red Chevy suv in the only handicap spot you have if you're not disabled.

    So - there is a white people tax. Menu - veggie burrito 9.80 - carnitas - which I ordered $10 - my receipt - $4.50 to add carnitas - I'm simple but I'm not dumb - they're robbing you and ask when it happens - done me wrong - not coming back - the lady said it was because of avocado and acted like she didn't know the language - even if true - $4.30 for avocado seems steep

    Rarely do I write a review after just 1 visit, but I'm making an exception for this little gem!…read more I've known of this place for years, but never stopped in before. I was glad that I did finally drop in. Located in a little strip mall on Valley Road, it's an unassuming place from the outside. The inside is small, but comfortable and it felt very "homey". When I walked in, the first thing that hit me was the smell of delicious food wafting through the air. The tastes did not disappoint. We were greeted and sat promptly by a personable young man that brought us water. The owner then brought us our drinks...a margarita for my dining companion and a Mandarin Jarritos for me. My sip of the margarita tasted amazing! Great balance and flavor. We also received a basket of chips and salsa. You could tell that they were made fresh to order. The chips were crispy and hot. The salsa was outstanding...fresh cilantro...balanced combination of flavors with a nice, subtle kick of spiciness at the back end. Not too spicy...just right. I usually have to ask for something hotter...not in this case. The food was amazing! My dining companion ordered the Chile Relleno plate and I got the Molcajete. The prices are outstanding and the amount of food? Huge plates! My Molcajete was sizzling hot and overflowing with chicken, beef, shrimp, nopales and ground beef mixed with veggies. A large plate of refried beans and spanish rice also accompanied this presentation. Fresh, hot, delicious corn tortillas rounded out each of our orders. We were also given a couple of squeeze bottles of sauces...green and red...to add to our meals if we wanted. Freshly made and the bottles were presented in a plastic tub filled with ice to keep them cold. Great addition to the already amazing food! There's also a nice selection of Mexican hot sauces on the table for you to choose from. We both took to-go boxes...so much food! Mine lasted for 2 more meals! I plan to return on a regular basis...this is now one of my favorite local places for great Mexican food. As always, I suggest that you visit to see what YOU think...

We got right in and I asked to sit at the bar right in front of the tv. The staff were super friendly and the bartenders chatted with us the whole time while also enjoying the fight themselves in between making their drinks. The food was super delicious. We ordered Aguachile (really good but super sour), pineapple jalapeño wings (too sweet and not my fave), ribeye chicharron........be prepared to cough and have the people sitting near you cough non stop lol. It was spicy and a bit dry but good. My favorite was the roasted bone marrow with garlic bread. Insanely good. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

    I've been to (almost*) every Mexican restaurant in Reno and this is the one I keep coming back to…read moreand keep recommending. The torta ahogada with the carnitas is a culinary delight! The bread is somehow soaked in a sauce but still crunchy just beneath the sauce, and springy/chewy in the middle. The flavors are rich and amazing. Finally you can add the spicy hot sauce if you want and you will be sweating bullets but happy about it at the same time. I also love the tacos de canasta as a fun and delicious appetizer. The food is always comes out super fast, and I leave super happy. The only gotchas are that only some of the staff speaks English so be ready for that, and that they have live music at night on the weekends, and it tends to get a little loud in the building. *I haven't been to 1 in Reno yet because it's hasn't been open the 3 times I've tried, and I haven't been to all the places in the valleys yet.
