El Cruzero is a great value for lunch at $8.99 per person. The location is an older strip mall and nothing very attractive, but the service and the owners outgoing personality make this a memorable experience.

They give good customer service. But food taste and quality is not that great. I asked for carnitas…read morefrom their menu but was told that they ran out. Then I asked for the enchiladas in red sauce with both chicken and steak. And was only given chicken which the chicken itself was season good. But they put the same salsa that was used for the complimentary chips and salsa on the enchiladas as the red sauce, which as a Hispanic myself, I know the difference. Overall, enchiladas were dry and the refried beans were super salty. Rice had an okay taste. They do have a all you can eat buffet which I did not try. Also, the woman's bathroom was out of order so the only other bathroom was the men's and it was very dirty.

Finally... A burrito that comes close to what we used to get back in California! We've been…read moresearching for so long and I had honestly given up multiple times, but like all great explorers, we endured and persevered. Taqueria Lupita is a great spot nestled inside a gas station market. As soon as we walked in, I knew we were in for a treat. The smell of meat on the griddle and the aroma of toasted tortillas met our noses and it made my mouth instantly start salivating. The team behind the counter was working fast and got our order out super quick. I opted for a chicken burrito and it took all of my self control to keep from eating it on the drive home. But like all great explorers of old, we had to take our bounty back to the motherland for all to enjoy. I cut it open and see what the cross section looked like, and it was practically perfect. I forgot to ask for avocado, so that's on me. We got the red and green salsas with it and they were both great. I loved the roasty undertones and heat of the red salsa. The first bite of this burrito took me back to another place, far from Tennessee. It was a glorious first bite. The melty cheese, the rice, beans and the chicken combined to make the most delicious symphony of flavors. I can't say enough good things about this burrito, you have to try it for yourself. I'm eager to try more things on their menu, especially the torta, it looked amazing.

As soon as we saw the (previously Oakland) Raiders logo, we knew it was gonna be good! I got the steak (asada) burrito - it came with rice, beans, meat, sour cream, and lettuce. If I had to give a critique, I'd say it's just missing a little guac. But oh my word, this burrito transported me right back to California! The flavors were spot on, the ratios were perfect. It may have taken us five years, but we finally found a Mexican spot that will definitely be in our rotation. It's located inside a small gas station, which confused us at first. But once we walked in, it was clear where to order. Both guys working seemed extremely kind and helpful, and overall just happy to be serving people incredible food.

That means expect salsas to be spicy and absolutely everything to be exploding with taste. Service is great, you order at the counter and they will answer all your questions. The place is relatively big and can accommodate big groups. They also have a drive through. Family friendly and plenty of parking outside. Just a heads up, the area is super sketchy. But I've never felt unsafe.

If from other, this isn't Taco Bell or anything like the others up or down the street. Real deal. Amazing version of Birria (beef, not goat - and I'm not sure if they have chivo). Served with a side of drippings broth, and dipping is heaven. Caldo de Res is real. Rarely found in full servings, this is a meal by itself and probably enough for 2-3 people. The house made salsas in the refrigerator next to the fountain drinks are perfection. Green is the sluicy Jalapeño crema often accompanying street tacos. And the Red is a roasted chipotle style with the more upfront heat. Parking is plentiful. Service is order, take a number and seat yourself. Large patio when the weather permits.

I wanna start off by saying the food was AMAZING ! 100% perfect ! Best steak I've ever had !…read moreHowever I would give the atmosphere a very low rating . We went on Valentines and expected a nice set down restaurant. This place is not a date night place ! More like picnic tables sat around and a come and chill place when you get off the river environment. Also it was freezing in there !!!! I wondered if maybe their heat went out ?? I froze ! I wanted to get water but the drinks were self serve and water wasn't an option at the drink station . Lastly , when we went to leave I had to potty so when I went the first thing I noticed is that the ladies and men shared the same bathroom ! Also there was a huge hole in the wall w insulation Falling out of the wall. It wasn't a pleasant bathroom at all . I HATE to leave a bad review so I have to repeat that the food was epically amazing but the environment wasn't what I expected at all . I would however still recommend people eat there . It was be perfect for people coming off the river w their kids after a long day in the sun . Just definitely not a date night atmosphere.
