    Clean dining area with Mexican decor
    Steve L.

    Great food! You order when you walk in the door - then they bring your food to you. The portions are very large - so bring an appetite - or take some home for later. Great little restaurant. Best food I've had in town.

    Steak tacos

    My dad has been telling me about this place for a while, so I ventured down 20 mins before they closed. And let's just say the delivered in a great taco! When you arrive to the place parking is tight but there's plenty of it, and the restaurant is a cozy I recommend take over eating in space is limited you can see in another reviewers photos. But the food and pricing is worth it. I will be back for dang sure!

    Carnitas and chicken loaded tacos on corn.

    Fantastic tacos, friendly and quick service. Amazing prices. A little off the beaten track tucked away, unfancy, strictly to-go. Asked me if I wanted corn or flour tortillas which was welcomed as I def prefer corn and wouldn't have even thought to have asked. Also I'm not a Spanish speaker but it was no issue as the young woman taking orders spoke perfect English.

    This is a nice little spot close to the Wabasso Causeway. The unit is small and usually hot inside there's a real lack of seating. The food here is pretty darn good in the portions are usually pretty darn good and we'll make some really great is the price. For a quick lunch break you can get a burrito and a drink for 5:25 that's a good burrito, surely does fill me up. The run daily specials which Change Daily because their daily specials of course. The red sauce is the hotter sauce but I drink it like a cup of tea. You always see same group of people working. They get to know you and we'll say hi to you and talk to you a little bit giving you that Hometown little restaurant feel. The wait is never too long because they know most people are there on their lunch break.

    Perfection in every single bite. From the fresh fruit to the Tostadas, absolutely delicious.

    Burritos have gotten much smaller, barely any beans in them. Missing side salsa for half of them. Not worth the wait.

    I was working in the area I found this place on Yelp! It's…read morepretty much located between a junkyard and a trailer park. The serious mostly seems like a commercial area. It's also sort of on the ghetto side which is super appealing to me The building is small and very easy to overlook. Thankfully the outside is painted orange so that it stands out. Outside they have a nice area to sit and eat with lots of shade and trees and they even have a stray cat that's hanging out looking for pets and food. This cat made the entire experience much better. She was even purring. The inside of the store is a grocery store of some sort well I have treats and drinks and miscellaneous things inside. If you go to the back you can order food there's a sign that shows the different plates they offer. I saw that they had the Tex-Mex taco so of course I got a Tex-Mex version and a regular Taco so I can compare the two. The lady who took my order answered all my questions about what was going on. You pay at the register and then pick up your food outside when they call it out to you. The food itself was really good. The taco shells had an interesting texture where was all flat. I'm betting that they're made somewhere close by. The tacos had a good amount of meat of them it was very filling. It was mostly the style where it's a lot of meat and a little bit of veggies. The bathrooms look like they recently had a makeover it seemed clean enough that I could go potty. I can't wait to get back here and try some of the other items on their menu. And their food is also priced at a very fair price compared to others around town.

    The tostada with ceviche was exquisite! Burrito was good as well but a little too grease for my…read moretaste.

    First visit to Fiesta Azul Tequila House, and based on the amount of food that somehow ended up on…read moreour table, we clearly came prepared to investigate the menu properly. We started with the chips and salsa, which were fresh and crispy, followed by the queso and guacamole. The queso was good--pretty much your classic cheese dip--but the guacamole was fresh, creamy and absolutely delicious. Of course, we also had to try the margaritas, and now I understand why this place is known for them. Fantastic. Fruity, flavorful, beautifully presented and dangerously easy to drink. Then came my favorite thing of the entire meal: the birria ramen. The noodles had that perfect bouncy chew, the egg was cooked beautifully, and the broth somehow found the sweet spot between traditional ramen and rich Mexican birria. It didn't taste like someone simply dumped birria into a bowl of noodles and called it fusion--it actually worked. The chicken mole enchiladas were enjoyable, but didn't execute that traditional flavor coming across a bit bland and lackluster. I also assumed there would be cheese inside with the chicken, and there wasn't. That's on me! Next time I'm asking for cheese because I think that would've made a huge difference. And finally, the molcajete arrived. Loaded with grilled meats, seafood, vegetables and fresh cactus, it was extraordinary. So many different flavors and textures packed into one dish, and the cactus was especially good. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Service was good, everything was clean, though the restaurant has a somewhat bland yet modern atmosphere.

    FANTASTIC!!!!! So good. Actually shocked just how good. I got this wrong from first look. I…read morereally thought this was going to be yet another El Torito knockoff. WRONG!!!! Let me tell you this was the best Mexican I have had since I moved from California where the best Mexican food exists besides Mexico. I had the ahi tuna ceviche. Best ceviche I have ever had and I have had ceviche through out the world. Best, hands down. The flavors coming out of this dish had me talking about them for the last 4 hours. Phenomenal. My family had various dishes, chicken quesadilla, a chicken mole, a burrito, a taco, and a veggie dish. All reported better than a typical place. They had some really interesting things on the menu, so can't wait to get back there. Service was great and there were a ton of people there. Food presented well and tasted fresh. Chips and chipotle dipping salsa were excellent too. Bathrooms and dining room were spotless and for a place that has chips, that is a difficult feat. Well done! This is a must try. Let me know what you think!
