We're originally from Arizona so our bar for Mexican is ridiculously high. We've had a lot of…read moretrouble finding comparable food out here. We finally stumbled on No Manches and we can say without reservation that they have the best Mexican food we've had in the 20+ years we've lived here. The Tri Color Burrito is my absolute favorite and I recently commented to a friend that its made my "if I could only have one food on a deserted island for the rest of my life" list. Its that good. The margaritas are excellent as well. In terms of negatives, the prices are high and the music can be very loud if you want to have group conversations. Our server even got our order wrong the last time we were there because she couldn't hear us! That said, any cons are definitely outweighed by the pros. Everyone we've taken there has been thoroughly impressed.

It's been 2 years since I've reviewed so time for an update!…read more As usual this place is packed! I've come at 5 on a weekday and 6 on a weekend. Packed! I always make a reservation and I recommend doing that. Service is always great and quick. Chips and salsa are delicious. My new favorite tacos are both of the shrimp tacos. All of the food is delicious. Same with the margaritas. The only downside of our last visit was that they cleared my plate when I was t done with my rice and beans (on a separate plate) and they took my fork. But other than that, this place is one of my favorites.

Last summer, our family was on the hunt for the best tacos in the area. Taqueria El Tio Ramos was…read moreone of the top on our list. We stopped in at lunch time on a Saturday afternoon. It was pretty full but we got a table right away. We ordered a couple tacos, a burrito and a quesadilla. Everything was awesome. The tacos were so good; very juicy and full of flavor. We told a few friends about Taqueria El Tio Ramos and they said, "we have been going there for years!" Why didn't they tell me about it! The restaurant was busy but we didn't have to wait long for our food. It was clean and our server was very nice, a bit soft spoken, but super sweet. We will be back, for sure!

The atmosphere was fun and lively, and everything came out quickly despite our larger group. We ordered tacos, quesabirria, pitchers of margaritas, and the tableside guacamole, everything was absolutely delicious! The guacamole was super fresh and such a fun experience being made right at the table. The margaritas were perfect for sharing and tasted amazing. I think our servers name was Lucy, and she was fantastic! Overall, it was such a fun, easy, and memorable night. Definitely recommend for group celebrations or a casual night out!

Visited Tequila Val's with every intention to enjoy a drink and dinner with friends. It was a…read morebeautiful day and they have a great patio to enjoy. My husband checked us in with about a 20 minute wait. After about 15 minutes, we saw open tables so he went back inside to ask if the table was ready. The manager chimed in and said we could be sat. The table we went to had been open the whole time we waited. Our server came by and did good answering some questions we had. We decided to share the classic pitcher of margarita as the flavor adds sounded to be from store bought pumps. We got a total of 6 margaritas out of the pitcher and were able to select what rim we wanted: tajin, salt, sugar, plain. The menu was more limited than I expected with meat options mostly only being chicken and steak. Our server said she'd be right back to take our food order. We waited 30 minutes before she came back even with attempts to get her attention. This made us finish our drinks and move on for dinner. Service was not up to par and left a bad experience for our group. We saw some food that looks good and the margarita was decent but our experience overall wasn't ideal to come back.

Last time here, it was a 5.0/5.0. This time is no different!…read more The house recipe suizo sauce is still HANDS DOWN, the undefeated champion. The owners are still the most friendly in the area and the portions are out of control! You can easily get two meals out of one entree but because it tastes so good, it's hard to stop eating. I was feeling overwhelmed with the music, so Sal even turned it off so I could enjoy the meal. He didn't have to do that and I was very appreciative. BTW, the music wasn't bad or too loud, I was just in an anxious mood at the time, completely unrelated. The music and ambiance are great in here and you're able to talk easily with others as you dine. We got the steak suizo again and we were super happy! We also got the chile relleños for the first time and it was magical. The cheese inside was a perfect blend of melty and crumbly. We need to come back more often. And we will!

I finally found the right time to try this place, being in the mood for a dine-in Mexican dinner…read more It's a nice place with pleasant servers, and kudos to the guy who filled my water 3 times. I was torn between a chicken mole dinner or just good old tacos. I opted for the tacos Al pastor with rice and beans. I have had Al pastor at many, many places, and it's been interesting to see people's takes on the recipes. These were, hands down, the best I've had anywhere. The meat was charred nicely, yet tender. The marinade/sauce had the perfect balance between the sweetness of the pineapple and the counterbalance of the lime, cilantro, and onion. I was so proud of my selection, that I ordered some to-go for my daughter to try. I also had a delicious strawberry margarita and finished off with a tres leches dessert. Everything was superb! I'll be back for that mole someday, and will also try their Taco Tuesday. Judging from my food, as well as the presentations of others choices that I noticed, I believe their chef is seriously talented and creative.

My wife and I are pretty stuffed right now! I had the quesabirria tacos and she had a spicy shrimp dish with avocado and tortillas.

They were American style with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. I ate a grilled chicken, a grilled veggie, and ground beef taco.
