    Birria tacos with other tacos and sides
    Victor E.

    This is my go to spot for tacos and other great Mexican food. The Birria tacos are delicious along with their trompo tacos and the chicharron with guacamole is a must as well. The staff is always really friendly.

    4 carne asada on flour tortillas.

    My go-to HAS to be the carne asada on flour tortillas. The amount of food you get along with the quality of everything is more than your moneys worth. The sauce bar is really nice and clean. The service is extremely kind and welcoming along with funny workers. Overall 10/10 tacos with very nice ambiance.

    Le doy 2 estrellas porque los tamales me decepcionaron, la verdad fui muy emocionada a comprar mi docena de tamales pero les doy un 6 los tamales están duros la masa aparte están secos,muy grasoso tal vez el guiso pero no me gustaron compré de puerco y pollo siento que la masa no la preparan solo la compran de la tortillería y así los hacen esa impresión me dio, porque la masa estaba demasiado seca, no volvería a comprar de nuevo a menos que cambien su masa y le añadan más sabor, pensé que al llamarse Nuevo León Iván a estar deliciosos pero nada que ver El lugar está muy bonito muy limpio y agradable pero La persona que nos atendió ese día no era nada amistoso muy serio y no me pareció amable le doy un 5

    The little Place is huge with its flavors of food! Everything and I mean everything was AMAZING! I know now where I can buy my tamales by the dozen! The tamales just melt in your mouth!

    Tamales were great. They were nice and warm. The salsa was nice and spicy. I opted for the spicy pork.

    The first time we went to La Sombra Cantina we thought we were going back to Pineda's. We were…read moresurprised at the change and hoped it was at least as good as Pineda's. We were very pleasantly surprised. It's even better in my opinion. The people are very warm and friendly. The food is really delicious. I love that they bring not only good salsa with their fresh hot chips, but also a tomatillo sauce and a black bean dip. We've now eaten there several times. The taco meat has a nicely charred flavor. The tamales were very good. (I'm picky about my tamales. I've tried their ranchero sauce, chili con carne, and sour cream sauce. None of them disappoint. Their rice isn't dry like it is at many other Tex-Mex places. And their $5.00 all day frozen margaritas are worth it. We usually go for the lunch specials that run until 4:00. They don't have mole on the menu, yet. I'm looking forward to their future specials. In this day and age where it's hard to keep a restaurant open, I really hope this one survives. It's not fancy, but the food and service make it worth it. And I'm a picky person when it comes to spending money on food I don't make myself.

We have been to some nicer hole-in-the-wall restaurants, that we liked better, and felt more at home. The conference room chairs are uncomfortable, along with the flat decor with loud colors. For the food, all we can say is Meh...and the drinks are weak. There are so many better mexican restaurants to dine with, in this City.

It has gray interior, tables, and chairs. We ordered strawberry margaritas while waiting for 2 more people to join our party. The first margarita was not bad. It had decent strawberry flavor. After the 2 joined our party, it took quite a while to get the servers' attention to order more drinks and food. I ordered another strawberry margarita and the Fernando Tex-Mex platter. This margarita had so much strawberry mixer in it compared to the first one. It made it too sweet. The Fernando had plenty of food, and the beef enchilada was my favorite. The meat could have been seasoned more to give it more flavor.

When I came inside and waited a bit, I finally was able to pick up the order, but the drinks weren't ready. Waited some more for that, and then was able to get the food and go home. Once actually eating the food, we were all please with what we got. Food was still warm when we picked it up and it was delicious. Despite the waiting that was involved, I'd still go back:)

Unfortunately, since the ownership change, the experience just hasn't been the same. The customer service is still decent, and I genuinely enjoy their spicy Mexican martini -- that's honestly the main reason I still stop by. However, the food quality has noticeably declined. Over the past year, I've experienced stomach issues after eating here, which had never happened to me before under the previous ownership. I'm not sure if it's a change in ingredients, preparation methods, or sourcing, but something is clearly different. It's disappointing because this used to be a go-to spot. I truly hope the new management takes a closer look at the food quality and consistency. There's a strong history here, and it would be great to see it restored.
