Ordered breakfast and took lunch to go bc I was excited they had pozole which wound be dinner. The next day I wanted to die. When I called I was hung up on after telling her I had food poisoning-- cool. Called back, pick up and hang up. Called from a different number-- was told the Broadway store had a manager and I'd have to go there. Called -- not the case, left a message for them and never heard back. I know how beloved this place is here but zero tolerance for food poisoning when there is a million Mexican places as well as better customer service. tried to do things the right way-- how I would want someone to approach me. But no response and extra time for a prompted review.

The aus jus was excellent, but couldn't take away the off taste of the birria.

We decided to go to the nearby park with our kids before heading to one for dinner. My husband and I were chatting about the options and a nearby man chimed in about Vienmex - come to find out it was Jared, the owner! We talked for a while about other stuff, he was very kind and told us all about his wife's restaurant so we decided to give it a try. Happens to be the best of both worlds cause my husband always wants Mexican food and I always want Asian! It was a Monday night so only 2-3 other parties inside. The place has a fun atmosphere and lots of table games which was great for our 3 kids. The food was awesome! We ordered the monster platter to try a little of everything. I loved the sushi taco! The teriyaki chicken hibarito and orange zest wings were also standout. We also ordered a tropical quesadilla and bang bang shrimp tacos which were both delicious too!

Everything tastes a bit stale and not fresh. It was just a bit sad to realize you weren't walking into a shop inside a gas station that makes these fresh, because some of the BEST tacos I ever found were from joints like that in gas stations.

The salsa was superb, some of the best ever. To make it perfect for my taste, I added a few drips of lemon juice and a little salt. It was so good that I purchased some extra to take with me. A significant disappointment was the stale chips, something that had been noted in other reviews. It's hard to imagine why a simple chip warming oven wouldn't be a quick purchase to remedy this. The tacos were okay, but the birilla one was inexplicably tough. I'm not sure how that happened, since the meat was shredded, but there it was. The beef enchiladas were delicious, as was the red sauce. The accompanying beans and rice were nothing to write home about. The star of the meal was a huge slice of tres leches cake. Oh, my word~~how could anything be this good? I would drive quite a few miles to have just this, and it was worth every penny of the eight-plus bucks on the ticket.

And, the food! Perplexed as I am by the more favorable reviews, I must be honest. Based only on the lunch specials, we could find little to redeem in the food. Even the iced tea was undrinkable. Guacamole that looks and tastes like store-bought is unacceptable. If it can't be freshly made without any kind of creamy filler, don't bother. The refried beans were cold. The chips and taco shell were Old El Paso wannabes. The cheese enchilada was uninspired. The only redeeming item was the beef taco filling; that was well done. I'm always pulling for locally owned restaurants, but this one needs to be repurposed, sadly.
