Food is SOLID! My favorites: Carne en su jugo and the Vampiro tacos. I've not been able to find the flavor of the Carne en su jugo recreated elsewhere...I've been chasing this down for years, ever since the 1st time my uncle brought me here back in....hmm, well back before pandemic times! It is spicy, but that's why I love it! The homemade flour tortillas are a work of art. It's a lil pricey, but...every now & then, we make exceptions for good food. The portion of the Carne en su Jugo is more than enough to split; or take it home and make 3 meals of it. Let's just say I went out of my way to make a trip to Nena's JUST for this before I flew out.
Been a long time since I have found a legit Chile Verde. Great service and food.
Last weekend I went to this little Mexican spot near my place and honestly it was pretty great. The chips and salsa came out quick and were warm n crunchy, and my chicken enchiladas had alot of flavor without being too heavy. The staff was friendly and kept checking in without bugging us. I tried a margarita too and it was strong in a good way lol. Prices felt fair for the portions. Place has a relaxed vibe, kind of like you’re eating at a friends house. I’d definately go back again and reccomend it if you’re in the area.
Got chili quilias came with two eggs, chips, beans, rice, and a type of meat that came in a bowl with the sauce. The meat was a little tough, and the sauce was a little bland. Everything was good overall just not my flavor. I will be back to try more dishes.
Great food and service.. I ordered a shrimp tostada and it was more than enough.. 🍤🦐🥒🍅🧅.. with one serving. My niece ordered asada cessadilla .. big servings. Great servers as well.
