We had the Mexican Plate, Tacos de lengua, and menudo. Everything was pretty good. The tostadas they serve with the salsa are not to my liking. I've never liked the round ones. Have been here a couple of times.
This place was recommended from somebody at a hotel I stayed at. I must say they did not disappoint. The food was awesome, service was spot on. I really really liked their rice, it's the best I've ever had. I wish I lived closer because i would love to go back. I live in Southern California which has great Mexican food, but I want to come back here!
Love they wear uniforms, they look like pros, they are open early. Most places are closed except for the chains. I had two chorizo egg and potatoes/bacon cheese) tacos, (they are loaded) and a Coke Zero. It was delicious and hit the spot :) $12.
So my husband and I were out and about doing errands and we decided to check this place out. They have a drive thru but we decided to eat in. Very clean, friendly staff and were seated right away. Our waitress was super friendly and made the experience much more enjoyable. We told her this was the first time going there and what she recommended. She said all the platos Mexicano were really good and the shrimp tacos. My husband ended up ordering a limonada with the Chile relleno and I got an Horchata with the shrimp tacos.
His plate came with flour tortillas which were so delicious and our waitress let us know the rellenos were actually just finished so they were hot off the stove. They weren’t greasy and looked like they were pan fried vs deep. My husband seriously liked them and ate both the rellenos that came with the order.
My shrimp tacos were amazing! It came with 3 tacos, rice and fries. The tortillas were really good and each taco had 2 med/large shrimp inside. They were lightly fried so they had a good crunch to them with every bite. They put a sauce on top which had a small kick but was more mellow and savory than spicy. The fries are homemade but done very well. So far some of the best shrimp tacos I’ve had! I also really enjoyed the horchata which was sweet (my husband said it was super sweet but it was perfect for me.) but it helped me enjoy the salsa that came with our meal which was spicier than I thought.
All in all, my husband and I enjoyed our food and can’t wait to try more from their menu but I will admit, we weren’t the biggest fans of the rice. It just was too overpowering with seasoning. But it wasn’t such a huge deal that we still feel the place deserves 5 stars and is probably gonna be a new favorite of mine.
