Both the service and the food bely the humble exterior and interior. The inside is Spartan with just a few tables, but the service couldn't be better. For lunch, I had Melecio's Quesadilla with Chorizo, served with rice & beans. My wife had Three Soft Shell Tacos with Steak and a side order of rice. Both meals were outstanding, and truly authentic. No fancy presentation here as the meals are served in "to-go" containers with a plastic spoon. When we were there, every table (all 5 of them!) were occupied entirely by locals, except for us. This is actually a 4-star place, but I'm giving it 5 stars because we both liked it so much! Location: 4 stars Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Value: 4 stars Ambiance/Décor: 3 stars

Took our food and drink orders, all which came fairly quick. I got the enchiladas suiza, chicken enchiladas with some kind of sauce (can't remember the name) and Spanish rice. All of it was good. I also got a blue Hawaiian, but it wasn't my personal favorite, as it was really sour. Other than that, 5/5. Good prices and good food. Hope to come back soon.
