A little citrus would've helped. The Asada was well seasoned but not as crunchy as I like. The tortillas were fine. They provided two salsas. I liked the green, but the reddish sauce had some fire!

*Updated Review* January 6, 2025…read more We were invited back by the owner to experience the exciting changes made to the restaurant, and I am happy to say it was a complete turnaround from my previous visit. It is clear that these updates have made a big difference. Starting with the exterior, the restaurant now boasts a fresh coat of paint and a new entry arch, giving it a clean and welcoming look. Inside, they have removed the buffet to add more tables, creating a more spacious and modern feel. There is also a new bar area where guests can enjoy drinks while watching games on the TVs. The tabletops have been updated, and the décor beautifully complements the murals, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. One standout addition is their bakery, which offers fresh-baked goods made on-site. The updated menu is visually appealing, and the food quality is top-notch, making for an exceptional dining experience. For the table, we enjoyed the Bandeja Antigua--a platter with 1 chuchito, 1 tamal, 1 tostada with guacamole, 1 tostada with beans , 1 tostada with tomato sauce, 2 plantain rellenitos, 2 crispy chicken tacos , 2 chicken empanadas, and Chapin-style enchiladas. My husband and neighbor tried their Charro Beans and fell in love with the flavor. I tried their special ceviche--fish , octopus , shrimp , red onions , tomatoes , cilantro, and cucumber. It came in a beautiful boat-shaped bowl and was definitely flavorful. It was topped with sliced avocado . My husband had the Burrito California--rice , beans , grilled chicken , onion , tomato , and bell peppers topped with melted cheese . He definitely didn't complain. Something to note, though, is that if you order a burrito "a la Antigua," it includes rice, beans, lettuce, onion, cilantro, cream, and cheese inside the nurrito, not on the plate. My other neighbor ordered the Burrito Cheese Steak- Grilled steak, fried onions, inside the burrito, served with rice, beans, and cream salad, topped with melted cheese. Their vision remains centered on their team--motivated, dedicated individuals committed to providing excellent service to every guest. They genuinely value the community that supports them and strive to create meaningful connections. With a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and constant innovation, their mission is to bring people together and make every visit memorable and enjoyable. To further show their appreciation for the community, they offer a 50% discount to active military personnel, police officers, and firefighters, as well as a 10% discount for veterans. It's heartwarming to see their dedication not only to great service but also to giving back. We honestly had no complaints about the quality of the food or service; it was well worth the price, and the amazing tastes were a definite plus!!

FOLLOW UP TO PREVIOUS REVIEW:…read more After my horrible experience at the Bessemer Location, I phoned the other location (Hudson Rd) to get the name of the owner and/or speak with a manager. Raymond answered but had to place me on hold 3x's. When he came back to the phone for the 4th time, he asked if I could again hold the line. In understanding that he was probably very busy, I respectfully declined and advised that I would call back tomorrow. To my surprise, My phone rang and it was Raymond with a wonderful young lady who translated my concerns per my horrible (customer service) experience at the Bessemer location. Not only did they show concern, empathy and disappointment in what I shared as a customer BUT went above and Beyond to make it right! Consideration, Amazing Customer Service and a wonderful attitude when dealing with such matters goes a long way. Thank you Raymond for quickly reminding me (per your actions) as to why I am and will be a loyal customer

Keep in mind that I adore food and am a major foodie. So I can say with certainty that it is an elote and not an esquite as the waitress tried to correct us. There are two variations. One comes in a cup and is off the cob ("esquite"); the other is whole ("elote"). I gave the restaurant a 3 because, to be completely honest, our waitress was terrible. She occasionally rolled her eyes. did not care to serve us honestly, and no menus were presented to us when we sat down. I had to ask for a menu as soon as I saw the young man handing one to the woman who entered after us. Additionally, he wasn't very good at wiping down the table, so I took the rag and did it. I'd visit at any time only for the food, but that kind of treatment is unacceptable. I did speak to Karen, the owner, but I don't think she really cared much. I'll see how it goes on my next visit. July 2023 We have returned multiple times since, and the owners have made changes with fresh paint and servers. Nice little place to sit and enjoy a meal with someone. Our most recent experience was great. Karen, the owner, was amazing, and the food goodness I don't have complaints. This is true authentic Mexican cuisine. My husband is obsessed with the horchata.

My husband loves the burritos and the sauce. Oh, and the freshly made churros are super good. I also enjoy the horchata (rice milk) almost every time I come. Thank you for the consistently amazing customer service as well. April 9th, 2024... I just enjoyed the Taco Tuesday special of three tacos with a soda for $5.99, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tacos al pastor (pork) with extra cilantro. My husband is more of a fan of the asada (steak) tacos , and he loves the red sauce because it has a nice kick. It's great that in 2024, you still have options to enjoy something different that won't break the bank. I was just pondering how interesting it is that there can be many places with similar cuisines yet be so different. What I may enjoy here, another person may enjoy elsewhere, and I think that's the beauty of food.

Was not expecting to pull up to an old Taco Bell storefront converted into this restaurant. Just heads up - inside still looks like an old Taco Bell too!!!! The service is outstanding. Our waitress was so sweet and informative. She had a smile on her face the whole time she helped us and gave honest opinions of what menu items we would like. Prices are great and the portion sizes are huge! Their menu has some traditional items you'd find on a Mexican menu but don't expect to get those run-of-the-mill options like the Speedy Gonzales special or a generic taco salad. They have their menu labeled with "fake Mexican food" to outline things you can get elsewhere. I was so excited to see shrimp stuffed avocado on the menu and it was divine! So much food and so much flavor. Margaritas were also delicious. Parking is easy and you have to let the aesthetics go. This place is worth visiting and i can't wait to go back and try some more items.
