I was going to give a 3 but I decided not to hold them accountable for it being so hot inside the restaurant. The A/C didn't seem on but I guess it was because the doors were open.

But when I lived in the twin cities I've had much better Mexican food. What I ordered was, 1st off the salsa, queso, and beef taco salad. Big old no for me.

Hubby had Arroz Con Mariscos (shrimp and scallops); I had the fish tacos. Both were delicious! I gave this place a 5-star review for the food. (We came in the evening, and the lighting is not bright. The menu is white text on black paper, so a bit of a challenge to read with the dim lighting.)

Perfect place to grab a couple tacos to go, walk to the beach or grab a bench on the boardwalk and eat vs having to wait to sit down somewhere and get a huge/overpriced/underwhelming meal like a majority of other options in Canal Park. Employee recommended the salsa I got for my side and it was a spot on suggestion. In hindsight I wish I had ordered more!

Sadly no. I was still excited on trying the food. Server and other staff I interacted with were awesome. I didn't order my regular because I wasn't going to be here long enough to have leftovers. I ordered a cheese enchilada, chile relleno and rice with a lemonade. I asked the server how they made the relleno and she explained it. It was made authentically. So, chips were warm and had. Just the right amount of salt. The salsa lacked salt. The rice was the best. Very good rice. The relleno had a good flavor but was missing the egg batter. There was some but not enough. The enchilada. Now, I'm not sure what kind of cheese was used but it was really sweet. The enchilada sauce was also too sweet. The lemonade was also too sweet. If I was in the area longer I would be back to try something else. I'm a looker so I was looking at other peoples plates and their stuff looked and smelled really good.
