Valerie, the manager on duty came back and greeted us. I looked at the menu on our way so I was…read moreable to ask about a few items. I didn't go with my FAVORITE dish this visit. Michael helped me with my choices. I selected the Tortilla Soup: Small chunks of slow cooked chicken in a cheese & chicken broth, green chiles, potatoes, sweet corn, carrots & top with mixed cheeses, avocado, and tortilla strips and a side salad. The soup was delicious to the last drop. The side salad is filling and with the soup it was a perfect lunch. The music wasn't loud. We sat by a window with just enough light and not blinded by sun. If I didn't say it in a previous review, this is our favorite Mexican restaurant. We have found nowhere else that compares to the food and hospitality. ... so much so that we returned the next week with our daughters. It's Father's Day and the tables are filled as soon as guests leave. The staff is attentive. The kitchen is BUSY!! They were doing their best with a nonstop crowd. I went back to my favorite Pollo Con Verduras. Hubby ordered the Burrito De Pollo Especial. I can't read what our daughters ordered but everyone enjoyed their meal. No pics! The food is delicious.

Hubs and I agree it's a five star gas station Mexican spot. We saw this place a few months ago as…read moreChilote. It had good reviews but we didn't make it in. We just saw the banners that El Gordo took over and had $1.50 tacos so we stopped in after errands today. This is a tiny spot next to the register, with three small tables and benches in front of the counter. There is not a drive thru. There's a small fountain drink area on the other side of counter. Service was really great - so friendly and polite, accurate and we got our food to-go brought to us at the table. We ordered: - Pollo Asado Quesadilla - X-Large Quesadilla fillies with cheese and diced chicken, cut into 3 pieces, served with crema and guacamole salsa. I enjoyed this and could only eat two pieces. It's a good large serving. - Two Carne Asada Street Tacos, Two Pollo Street Tacos, Two Carnitas Street Tacos. Hubs said these were good!! - Carne Asada Burrito, add beans and rice. Hubs said it's a good burrito. Eat in or to-go ordering.

Average Mexican food in a storefront restaurant. The place is simple and very basic with good…read moreindoor seating and a very casual, relaxed atmosphere. I didn't find the menu very inspiring ND seemed to lean heavily on breakfast items, although I was here for dinner. Looking over the items I selected the Carne Asada Torta, a simple sandwich that came with a side of fries. The sandwich was good enough but the bread was extremely soft and the entire sandwich just fell apart. The meat and ingredients were just OK, nothing special and the taste ordinary at best. I did appreciate the extra amount of jalapeños. The fries were also just OK, on the shoestring style and in a metal basket. After we arrived a basket of chips were brought to the table and in lieu of the usual salsa there was a bean dip. Again, all just OK and not very inspiring. I had a Maria's margarita that was watered down and not so satisfying, plus a large plastic container of water. Service was very friendly and helpful but after we were served entirely disappeared. We sat for a long time waiting for a check and finally got up and paid at the back counter. Perhaps that's protocol, yet who would know it. Undoubtedly, there's better Mexican fare out there, but for a quick, simple meal this may suffice just fine.

Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food. What stood out most was the treatment of my father-in-law. As we were leaving, he was making his way to the front door with his walker. The host saw us approaching but quickly walked away to clean a table, even though no one had asked her to do so. There was no "Have a nice day," "Thank you for coming," or even a simple goodbye. The interaction felt cold and dismissive, especially toward someone who was clearly moving more slowly and could have benefited from a little patience and courtesy. I would return for the food, but the customer service left a lot to be desired. A little kindness and hospitality can make a big difference in a customer's experience.

Its in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Service was quick and friendly and they have some pretty good lunch deals. Chips and salsa came out -- 3 kinds of salsa. You only get a tiny bit of the one that's supposed to be spicy. Even when I asked for more to go with my food, the little bowl was only about 1/3 full. We also got guacamole which seemed fresh but could also use a lot more spice for my taste, but I think they know their clientele well. We noticed there were lots of regulars the staff knew and several tables greeted each other as well. We both got dishes with shredded beef and both thought it was good. The rice was also really good! I also got a margarita for only $6 - regular price! It wasn't a standout but hey, $6. Not a bad option in the area at all and I thought the spicier salsa, shredded beef, and rice were all excellent. They do close at 7 pm so make your plans early!

They actually brought me one from behind the counter that was both really flavorful and seriously spicy. Overall great experience and definitely our new go to taco spot.

Food: 4-stars - The only reason for the -1 star is because they do not have any chicken options and…read moretheir guac is liquidy with zero flavor. Their pickled red onions are also flavorless. Otherwise the carne asada, lengua and tripa tacos were all delicious and generously portioned! They have grilled jalapeños, and a self-serve garnish bar with 4 different types of salsas, pickled red onions, sliced cucumbers, shredded cabbage, diced onions and chopped cilantro, lime, and their liquidy guac. We came back already for their crunchy tripas and will continue to visit for our taco/burrito fixes. Service: 5-stars - Open kitchen behind the service counter allows you to see how they cook their meats over the charcoal grill. Our order came out pretty quick. 10-15 mins max. It's a fast casual spot so open seating, no host/waiters but there are workers that clean the dining area. Ambiance: 4-stars - Nothing special but clean and open dining areas. Multiple TVs for your viewing pleasure along with an outdoor patio area for outdoor dining. Overall 4-stars - I will say, after ordering for takeout last week, the best experience is to dine-in. The tripas were not as crunchy when taking home to eat. However, if you like your tripas crunchy like I do, dine-in and eat fresh is the best. Tacarbon satisfied our taco craving but they also offer cheese crisps, burritos and plates that include tortillas and beans. Pretty good overall, but definitely still room for improvements - especially for the premium price point. Definitely recommend to check out if you haven't already. It's probably going to be our new go-to spot for Mexican food.
