I appreciate him taking the time to chat with me, and decided to give this taco shop another chance. We ordered the potato tacos and taquitos again. This time we ordered a side of rice and beans. Oh, and we ordered a quesotaco. The quesotaco was great! I would order that again. Tacos and taquitos were much better this time. Service was good.

The chips are good salsa is to watered. The Tacos are good and priced well to today standards. I just wish when you order to go they don't bag it all up for you, they should bag it only after the food has been inspected by the customer because there always messing up to go orders. And over $5 refreshers is a big mistake. Overall as local I won't be coming here anymore. The vibe is nice.

Not trying a small bite to see if something was seasoned but a few minutes of chewing which I couldn't stop watching while waiting for my order. If you do go...the shrimp cocktail is good, birria tacos were really good, fish was cooked well but I wish I ate the fried one on the road because it got soft.

The birria tacos. Deep fried on a clean plancha. And the chili oil they give you for dipping is fantastic! 2. California burrito. I know you can get these anywhere, but they beat Miguel Jr, Alberto's, everybody. 3. Jamaica. Again, I know you can get these just about anywhere, but what stands out is that they add GUAVA to the mix and it gives it a rich flavor, you won't want the hibiscus without it after this. Shout out to Jose for being such a gentleman my first time there!

Pretty good! The…read moretacos are very fresh. It's a little restaurant. They be whipping out those tacos fast! I ordered a custom taco lol I wanted the fish and shrimp tacos, but with more of a street taco filling. I asked them to do that and they messed up the first time. They put sour cream and forgot the pico. That's okay. I know I was ordering something custom. I ordered all three tacos with pico, cilantro and guacamole. Sans the sour cream. I don't like sour cream. They brought them to me with sour cream. Then remade them. The tacos were decent. My husband loved the burrito. He kept raving about the meat and flavor. He doesn't care for the rolled taquitos. Those were bland and not impressive.

Another go to Mexican spot in Lake Elsinore is El Unico. This is my go to for Cabesa Tacos. Hands…read moredown they have the best and most tender cabesa tacos that I've ever had. This reminds me of my childhood. Customer service is great and the staff is always helpful. The ambiance is cozy outside type of area where you'll see birds around you, bugs flying around so your orders may end up being to go as it's an outside type of seating. Other than that the rest of the food from what my wifey has had been very good and on point.

Oh my, this spot is so delicious. We came on a colder day, and there was only outdoor seating,…read morewhich may be something to keep in mind. Saturday at lunchtime, the restaurant was pretty busy and seemed potentially understaffed. The outdoor seating area had lots of seats (seems that most people are doing takeout), and is so beautiful. Absolutely loved what they did with the foliage here. While I will say the chicken enchiladas didn't particularly stand out to me, the rice and beans were some of the best I've had. I don't generally like rice and beans but I cleared off my plate here. And we were all blown away by the nachos (with carne asada)--they were so delicious and easily devoured. It's a large portion, and well worth the value. Such a lovely spot and I'm glad to have stopped by. Hope to be back soon!

The girl at the counter greeted me with a smile and was INCREDIBLY professional! I asked about their namesake taco the "Aztlan Taco" and she broke it down for me. I didn't get her name but she was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I ordered two of the "Aztlan" tacos with carne asada as she recommended, they were really tasty! I think the carne asada could've been a bit more savory but it's only a minor suggestion. The authentic flavors and in-house tortillas wrapping the tacos were phenomenal. My highlight were the sopes! I cannot recommend them enough, you MUST try the sopes! I ordered one chicken sope and it was hands down one of the best sopes I've ever had! The cream, cheese, meat and sope itself tasted like ingredients I would get in Mexico! Trust me, I know authentic. PRO-TIP: Squeeze a little lime on your Aztlan tacos, I did! Everything about this taco shop was quite convenient and accessible. There's a salsa bar which is covered at all times, a small fountain with classic soft drinks and a side fountain with jamaica and horchata. The restaurant was very clean and modern. I appreciated the quality AC too! Note: Dine-in customers receive a free pack of small tortilla chips or a small bag of Fritos. I recommend the corn tortilla chips.

Our son recommended Main Street and we discovered 3 competing Mexican food spots closely situated. I saw this spot and they had me at the word authentic on the sign. We arrived around noon on a Thursday and the place was empty. The convenient drive through makes things easy but we went inside. She ordered Chile Relleno which came with rice and beans and I asked for a chicken enchilada and a crunchy hard shell machaca taco, (shredded beef) with double frijoles. Chips and salsa and 2 beers. It all came out hot and fresh and the beer was ice cold. The home made salsa Roja had the very best flavor and it had the habanero kick we were looking for...so look out. The chips were fresh but had a touch too much salt. If your in the mood for authentic Mexican food you need to visit this spot. The clean dining room has televisions and the booths are comfortable.
