    I ordered a wet chicken burrito, it was not what I'm used to back in California. I couldn't even finish it, it was giving me indigestion before it even hit my stomach. The service was average and the menu was basic. Would not recommend and will not be returning..

    Used to love this place , been going for years. Prices have more than doubled, got takeout and it was literally ready in three minutes. Carnita Taco was cold and meat was not at all tender. They differentiate now with a "street taco" ok, that used to be just their standard taco. Also got a California steak burrito, smaller size with more rice and beans than meat $14. The guac is still delicious, premises is still rundown. Will not go back for the price and quality they are currently serving. Better options.

    Amazing balls carnitas tacos!!!!! I ordered two carnitas tacos and a shrimp quesadilla ! I ate it allllllll. Thinking I would have a left over taco for the boy.... NOPE!! The carnitas has that roasted salty crust that we love. Such good flavor. I see why it's so popular. Glad we came in sat nite 5:30 not so busy. Even the shrimp had that salty very hot off the grill flavor! Yummmmmmmmy. Bf ordered the Taco salad carnitas natch. It was on top of chips ( instead of a bowl). He loved it. She said it was big. But he had to have two tacos anyway. He didn't realize how Dagwood the little tacos were!! Stuffed with carnitas man.

    I have been coming here for tacos for 15 years and have never been disappointed in the authenticity, price, and quality of the food! You get fresh food for a great price and the special of the day is every week and all day each day. Great for people who can't make food specials because they work through normal "happy hour" times. It's a small hole in the wall restaurant that has delicious food for a fraction of the price in comparison to most places in Naples. I would definitely recommend the chicken tacos and the order of guacamole with chips. I usually really love the churros but recently haven't been too impressed with them so I have just been sticking with the guacamole and tacos. Definitely would recommend to get the Verde sauce because it's just a level up with the rest of the food!!

    We stumbled on this restaurant for lunch today - great find !! Food was plentiful, fresh tasting and served hot in a timely manner. We will definitely return.

    Chicken mole plate
    Karolina K.

    Went there while in the area and looking for a quick and good place to eat dinner. Based on yelp research we decided to give it a try. I was a little sceptical when I first saw the place and went inside. It doesn't look very inviting, everything is old and cheap but we decided to stay anyhow. Good decision. I went with chicken mole plate and my husband with two taco plate. The food came out very quickly, and it was very good. Not the best we had as for Mexican food, but good. And the prices are very reasonable, especially considering that you are in Naples.... The only complaint is that the mole sauce was a little greasy. The mole I tried before in other Mexican restaurants was never so greasy, but I did not experience any stomach issues, so still giving the place 4 stars.

    Long story how I got here. So the short version. I am doing a major renovation to my house. Mrs. K. has her standards. So I am in a rental for about 5 weeks. Was cutting through a parking lot to get on Pine Ridge and saw the place. Kind of remembered the name from somewhere. (Amanda S.). We went in on Sunday at about 1:30pm. I ordered the carne asada taco's. Mrs. K ordered the steak taco's. Mine came with slaw hers came with lettuce. Mine tasted better. :). We also ordered chips and salsa. The salsa was again one of the best I have had in this country. We ordered at the counter sat down and instantly the food came out. FAST. The price is all below $5 for most items. So it is good fast and inexpensive. I told the cashier how wonderful the food was and she said hope to see you soon. Oh I am sure you will see me for the next month or so.

    Chicken mole approx $7
    Amanda S.

    It's inexpensive at a prime location. I had a chicken mole. Enough grilled chicken breast to make four flour tacos. Rice and beans. Topped with raw onions, cilantro, cheese. Under $7. Sauce is fine. The hot sauce adds a kick and some flavor. It's June and it's 88F today. No AC inside. Came at noon and packed with people. Mixed crowd of all types enjoying $2.50 tacos / $5-6 burritos. Would take this to-go next time because it wasn't that comfortable. 3.5* for food 4* for price and location

    Do you like cheap and delicious tacos after a day at the beach and could care less about the attitude of the cashier? I know I do! Then this taco joint is the place for you. You will second guess your decision when walking in the door but don't! Just walk up to the register, take a look at the specials, then the menu, order and sit down. Food comes out fast (know your number) but be aware of the time of day you are going. Off hours have dry meat. Cheap food/tacos means cheap meat. Cheap meat heated twice means you are getting dry meat. It's a bit deceiving and tucked away in a small shopping area but order away as you will not be disappointed. I sure know I did! If you are not sure what to get and don't want to order half the menu stick with one item with shrimp and one item with carnitas.

    What A Great Place! As were driving down the street towards…read morethe Naples Botanical Garden, we passed a brewery and next to it was this small Mexican restaurant. How perfect. After our nature visit, we could stop for a beverage, then get a late lunch next door. Well let me tell you, this is legit authentic Mexican. We walked over from the brewery next door. There's a patio out front with tables and umbrellas, but it was scorchingly hot and we wanted to sit inside. Not too many tables as it's small, but one opened up for the three of us. A very polite server provided menus and took our drink orders. My daughter and I both had Micheladas. You can select what beer you want in the mix. I had Modelo Negro, my daughter selected Modelo Especial. My wife had a bottle of water. No tap water here, you need to buy the bottle. We studied the menu trying to decide what to get. Everything we could see others eating looked great and tacos seemed to be the popular meal. Our Micheladas came out and these were festive. Large mugs, rimmed with a pretty zippy tahin and pepper blend, filled with the beer and a slightly spicy tomato juice mix. Very flavorful. A something new for us was the addition of a tamarind straw. It's a plastic straw, covered with a sweet spicy tamarind blend. They actually call it candy. You use it to stir your drink and then nibble on the candy. What a great fun thing to add to a drink. By the way, the Michelada was excellent. I enjoyed licking the tajin seasoned rim with each sip, just like a salted rim on a margarita. Still studying the menu, we ordered the Choriqueso appetizer. The basket came out with fresh fried corn tortilla chips and a bowl of queso cheese with chorizo sausage crumbled into it. Runnier than most cheese dips we're used to, but enjoyable nonetheless. Finally we ordered our meals. Al Pastor Tacos for my wife, Chorizo and Steak Tacos and Quesabirria Quesadilla for my daughter and Caldo de Camaron for myself. In just a few minutes, our delights were delivered and the feast began. All of the meats in the tacos and quesadilla were excellent. Great flavors and no skimping on the meats. Onions, cilantro and self squeezed lime punched up the flavors. The quesabirria come with an au jus style dipping sauce that was perfect. My shrimp soup was spectacular. Easily shareable, but I accepted the challenge to eat this myself. Served with numerous warm tortillas, chopped onions, cilantro and lime, I put it all in. A very light yet flavorful broth and as the pic shows, loaded with flavorful shrimp. I enjoyed every spoonful. A wonderful soup. As with most authentic Mexican restaurants, you are made to feel that \you are their guest. They will never make you feel that you've overstayed and if you want your check, you just go to the register at the counter. Looking forward to our next trip there.

    Excellent street tacos! You want them? They have them. Pick your protein and order. It's kind…read moreof hard to go wrong with any selection. Parking can be a little tough sometime because this place is so popular, but its worth it. And quite affordable too! Give it a try!

It was nice to sit outside but I think our server forgot about us for a while... The quesabirria and fajitas were very good, but everything else was lowkey a skip.

We only wanted a variety of apps so she gave some good suggestions. She was attentive and efficient. The food she suggested: elote, very good! We did get the guac and chips too to use the chips with the elote. That was the problem. The guac was somewhat tasteless, but the chips were very bad. They tasted like they were made in old rancid oil and they make them onsite. They even smelled like old oil. We let her know and she brought a new batch. Still tasted bad. We suggested her to try them and she did and agreed they were not up to par. I felt the grease even coated my tongue. The cornbread was excellent. Because the chips were so bad we got the guac and rest of the elote to go so we can eat at home with some good chips. We got the bill and even though they agreed they weren't as good as normal they still charged us for everything. That is a problem. She should have had them take them off the bill. We still tipped 18% but that isn't good when they don't make it right. We may give them another chance but still charging males that less likely for sure.
