I have a high spicy tolerance and they brought out a special salsa, peppers and a sauce for me. Orders: El Gordo Special ($13.25): grilled shrimp, roasted red peppers, lettuce, avocado, rice. The shrimp was plump and grilled well. Chori Pollo ($13): grilled marinated chicken topped with cheese dip and Mexican sausage, served with rice, guacamole salad and tortillas. This was pretty good! The Mexican sausage paired well with the chicken. Chimichanga with beef ($4.25). The size and amount of meat? This was a steal. Less expensive than some frozen food options at Trader Joe's and Costco. Margarita, 12oz ($3.99). Not bad for the price. Beef street taco ($3.50). Okay, this is the one item I can compare to options in California and definitely had better there

I like when that happens :-) baskets o' chips, bowls o' salsa, icy waters, and drink orders and not long after some bean dip shows up amid the lively conversation and muted overhead... foods arrived screaming hot and fancy; plating looks a bit above the actual price point which is always a good thing. My steak ranchero came out as advertised; standard thin cut ribeye - seasoned southern style and cooked through - served on a bed of grilled onions, peppers, and tomato with ranchero and queso sauce on top plus tortillas, beans and rice beside... so good rocks margarita represents well; nothing particularly noteworthy since it's well liquor but it would be nice to be able to sub blue curacao for triple sec because, well, you know... blue! but mainly I just don't want to see any mistakes and I didn't. yea!!

Aside from the al pastor, tacos were honestly a little unremarkable given how tasty they looked. Carne asada was on the drier side, chorizo too salty, and I've definitely had more flavorful and tender lengua elsewhere. The star of the show was by far the quesabirria tho. Super cheesy and flavorful without being too oily. Actually so delicious. Cheap, casual spot definitely worth checking out. Favorite dishes: Quesabirria

Their rotating special was chimichurri steak which my mom got the quesadillas and so got the tacos. Both were wonderful! I also got a shrimp taco and the grilled fish taco. Another guest got a burrito and she said it was unbelievable. I don't remember all the different tacos our other guests got but the gator one was great, and the Nashville hot chicken ones were so good. Staff was very friendly and helpful, we were greeted by who I'm assuming was either management or the owner when we walked in and he gave us a rundown of how their menu worked. They have a great salsa bar as well. Best meal of our trip and if we are ever in the area again we will absolutely be returning!

I got the enchiladas de mole and the shrimp a la diabla, which had some pretty unique flavors and complexity. Fair warning the shrimp a la diabla was the spiciest thing I have ever had.

The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the ordering process was a little confusing. When we arrived, we were told we could order drinks but needed to wait about 10 minutes before ordering food so the kitchen could catch up. After that, it wasn't really clear when we were supposed to go back up and order, and it seemed like a few other people were confused too. The staff was very nice, but it felt like they could have used a couple more people working that day. They even brought us a complimentary vegetarian taco, which was a nice touch! Once we ordered, our food came out within about 15 minutes.The tacos were good, flavorful, and the salsa was great. I think our experience may have just come down to staffing that day. I'd definitely give them another try!
