    Two enchiladas with rice and beans.
    Carrie G.

    Decent food, I just live their cheese enchiladas. They have so much flavor with the cheese and the sauce, soft tortillas it is great. Also the rice and beans are top notch. Service is friendly no matter which location you go to. And they are quick.

    My favorite Torta with ground beef and jumex strawberry and banana.
    Michaela B.

    I love eating there when I need a quick lunch such as time frame and good foods too! I go there often.

    Special Tacos (carne asada) Make It a Combo (adds Rice and Beans)
    Lane B.

    We've tried a few places in Anchorage looking for authentic Mexican food and this is the closest we've come. I'm so glad we found it because we are here for another 14 weeks and I NEED good Mexican food to survive! We had a torta de asada, tacos de asada, tacos de carnitas, side of beans, and rice. The salsa was spicy and flavorful; the torta was loaded with all the right toppings and delicious; the carne asada wasn't the best I've had, but the best I've had in Anchorage for sure! The carnitas was tender, flavorful, and just enough crisp which told me it was cooked authentically. The menu is slightly confusing and the price point a little high, but for us it is worth it.

    Receipt showing credit card fee
    Craig B.

    Terrific carne asada meal. But watch the cashiers. Taco king charges a 4% fee on all credit card purchases. Today I paid with cash. But the cashier told me to pay the amount that included the 4% fee. When I realized what happened, his supervisor refunded the overcharge. So watch the cashiers.

    2 Halibut Tacos, on corn. When asked for FLOUR. No extra cheese, pretty sure I paid for it too.
    Aries K.

    Just don't call order, or trust them without looking. This taco salad has NO shell (ordered that way) like 7 chips and NO beans. Ordered FLOUR tacos. Got corn, again... What a waste of money. They are good but honestly do t care how their food goes out. Last time.

    Ordered dinner for delivery and was told it would arrive within an hour. Called to check on it 10 minutes past an hour and they said someone would arrive within ten minutes. It came an hour and 40 minutes after ordering. Good food but not for delivery. Would rather have been told it would take closer to 2 hours to arrive and I would have made a different choice. Food arrived cold and soggy. Not impressed. Lost my business.

    Veggie burrito combo
    Greg S.

    Delicious veggie burrito, super fast and friendly service. Good salsa bar. Real (not just disposable) silverware and cups!

The place is a little outdated, but it's very colorful and it adds to the ambiance of being transported to another place. Staff was attentive and we got to choose where we wanted to sit. They had a paint night type of event that was ending when we got there and as we kept eating more and more people slowly started coming in. Portion sizes are huge....we couldn't finish our food. We took it back to our Airbnb and we repurposed and used the leftover food into new dishes for breakfast the next day. Was this the best Mexican food ever.... well no, but it wasn't horrible. I got the Chile Verde Burrito and it was good. I think that the dishes were basic and there was nothing that took it over the top. Nothing special, no different seasoning. Even though we didn't finish the food, we ordered dessert and shared. The flan.....OMG! Yes, yes, yes! I would go back for the flan. It tasted like it had coconut, but when we asked they said that it didn't. Hmmm, not a bad thing that it tasted like coconut in my world, it just elevated the taste.

In the past it was always delicious and busy, but I…read morebelieve it's been 5yr+ since my last visit I think that era of peak goodness has passed...5-6pm and it was fairly empty. We had a BOGO Free dinner coupon so we decided to give them a try again. I had the tamale and relleno combo. The tamale, rice and beans were very good. However that relleno was BAD. It tasted like mold. I ordered another tamale ala carte ATI make up for it. My partner had the chicken suizas and I thought they were good. He thought the chicken tasted like it was precooked and reheated like at another local chain (TK) so he was a little disappointed. I thought it was tasty... The margaritas are nice and strong which is a plus, but not enough to make me return. I think we will stick to our main spot in Spenard for Mexican food...

I was expecting something more hole-in-the-wall (Mountain View has changed so much), but Xalos is an open space with lots of seating and a big menu. I couldn't decide on what to eat but went with the pork carnitas plate. Fiancé went with the birria tacos and we shared some guac and chips. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. The pork on mine was very tender and juicy and there was something about the flour tortilla that was different but very good. I seasoned it with their spiciest hot sauce (I could handle on its own, but accidentally ate a jalapeño right after...yikes). I honestly could have inhaled the whole plate but saved some for later. Fiancé is somewhat of a birria connoisseur, and while these weren't his favorite he enjoyed them. Xalos was a great find and good value for the price (a little over $50 for the two entrees and appetizer). I'd love to try their tacos on our next visit.

Like they were frozen, thawed and froze again. The sauce they simmered it in wasn't good and I'm convinced helped overcook them to a rubbery consistency. My steak was fine, but was well done vs medium rare like I ordered. I prepared myself that it likely wouldn't be cooked right, but I expected at least a little pink. I know it's not a steak house, but they cook steak for other items so I figured I'd be okay. My partner said his ranchero steak wasn't very good. He only ate it so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable eating while he waited. The meat wasn't very good he said, tasted old. He said the sauce wasn't very good either. For the rise in prices of things quality has gone down. They haven't done much for improvements - my seat had a big gash in it. Unfortunately after being a customer for many years I don't see myself returning here after 3 strikes this year of poor quality food at an inflated price. I think they should consider cutting their menu in half and really focusing on making quality dishes.
