The best thing here are the tacos. Didn't care much for anything else. Rice, beans, meh. Flour tortillas not authentic. Enchilada sauce, way too much Chile powder for my taste. Tamale, not enough meat inside. Tacos though, were great! Parking is an adventure lol
This place was busy and I get that. We also had a party of six and I get that as well. Our primary server had assistance in bringing our meal to the table. ...She broke rule #1 of great service. Rather than knowing who ordered what, she had to ask whose meal each plate was as each plate was set on the table. Perhaps I could have overlooked this but they only had five of our six dishes. There was no acknowledgement of the missing meal which happened to be mine. The awkwardness at the table, do you all wait...I suggested that we all say grace and they begin eating. Still no meal or acknowledgement of the status of my meal. Eventually it did arrive with the secondary server who was kind enough to apologize but didn't offer an explanation. I believe both, the apology and the explanation, would have been appropriate. The gravy on the tamales was my best bite. The whole beans were slightly scored but still edible. Questionable for service when you are charging for the meal. Unfortunately this was my first experience at this location. We also could not find a parking spot and had to park across the street. This meant crossing the 99 frontage road to access the restaurant. I don't see myself adding this spot to the list of places that I will recommend or return to. But, I will also share that the rest of my party is definitely a fan of this location. Their full parking lot would speak the to same.
Servers are very attentive and friendly. Food comes out fast. The chips and salsa are good. The rice is very tasty. The red sauce is better than most. Even the water tastes good lol. Bathrooms are pretty nice too. Fair prices
The menudo is 🔥... It's always so tender and full of flavor. When I ask for extra granitos I always get it and they don't skimp on the meat portion. The only thing I wish is they'd serve lemons instead of limes. Next time I'm taking my own lemon,lol. I can't ever leave town without stopping by.
I ordered a mushroom burger. My friends teased me for ordering a burger at a Mexican restaurant, but it was absolutely delicious... brimming with caramelized onions, mushrooms and cheese on a perfectly cooked beef patty with a huge side of french fries. I don't eat burgers often, but I would definitely order this meal again.
