Wow one of the most disappointing Mexican restaurants I have ever been to. The people were very kind and the place was very clean. The Horchata is very good. I ordered a burrito with extra meat and paid extra. My wife is from Mexico and ordered pork tacos that were so called authentic. We received 2 soaked tacos with pineapple chunks mixed with grease. I had a pineapple salad with maybe one ounce of meat soaked in pineapple juice. My daughters ordered a torta that was also soaked with pineapple with no meat. And my other daughters order was soaked with pineapple. We all were sick. My wife from Mexico says that you are supposed to cook the meat first and then add the pineapple so it does not mix with the grease and soak the tortillas. The burrito I had was so pathetic and small we had to go to McDonalds to order food so we could get full. I will never ever recommend this place to anyone. Jalisco tacos on Lake St in Aurora kicks everyones ass when it comes to real fresh food with amazing portions. Their food is fresh with barely any grease. Their burritos are literally 3 times the size of this pathetic taco bell sized burrito with no meat for twice the price with poor quality meat soaked in pineapple grease. Absolutely horrible. I wished I went to anywhere but here. I am drinking beer still trying to get that mushy nasty pineapple taste out of my mouth lol. How this place got more than 2 stars I have no idea. When I spend more than 40 dollars I would expect a decent fresh portion. Especially because pork is only 3 bucks a pound. Such a joke. I will gag every time we pass this place.

After being left on hold for 20 mins and hanging up and calling back to order, I got my meal after roughly 40 mins. (Delivery) I ordered a steak burrito and steak tacos with quacamole. Neither of which came with the quac that I was charged for. I also didnt know the burrito doesnt come with rice. (Whaaaa?) They also use chopped lettuce instead of shredded so you get the undesired crunch of the lettuce spines. The silver lining to my otherwise unfortunate experience was that the fajitas were BOMB and the Nachos Supreme were OUT OF THIS WORLD. (We all tried a bit of everything) Everyone has a bad night so I will definitely be ordering from them again, Ill probably just not order a burrito next time and order a side of quac to make sure I get it.

OK - I am a burrito joint connoisseur, and this place I guarantee will satisfy your Mexican food appetite no matter what you order. The produce (lettuce, tomato, etc...), is exceptional. Youd almost think they have a garden in back that is harvested fresh daily. As for the meat, the steak is seared to perfection to give the edges a char, leaving the middle tender and juicy. (much like Front Street Cantinas steak). The chicken is tender and seasoned just right. I hope they NEVER cut corners down the road to save a buck, lowering the remarkable quality they serve up now. ::: I recommend the Steak Torta (w/o mayo) ::: The pork/cilantro/onion tacos on corn are amazing too ::: BON APPETITE!!!!!

Only reason I order is because its 5 min from my house and they deliver, otherwise Id probably eat there once or twice a year. Their food, overall, is okay and it gets pricey real quick. Ive had their torta de carnitas, tacos de asada, asada and al pastor nachos and quesadilla all pretty decent. What I found very very disappointing, unbelievable, and the major reason why I rated this 3 stars is that they dont make their own hard shell tacos. Theyre pre made like the ones youd get at Taco Bell. For the price they charge I thought that was a idiotic of them.

I thought the food was pretty good.. the wait for it was kind of long and there wasnt even that many people there.. I had a to go order: a burrito, 2 very small tacos (soft I asked if they had hard shell), a side(I cant remember the side because I never got it), and a coke.. The whole order was about $16 which IMO way too much for a burrito not much bigger than taco bell burrito and a couple small tacos.. if I had gotten the side I may have given it 4 stars but instead I just wont go back...

This place is seriously my favorite Mexican restaurant. Nothing fancy, but the food, salsas and service are first rate. They make a great margarita too! My favorite tacos here: carnitas, steak, shrimp and chili rellano tacos. Best salsa, the avacado and cilantro salsa that they make only on Friday, and they run out of it usually on Sunday. Cant beat the price either. Our family of four can eat for under $50, including drinks.

Walked in and asked to cater for 3 dozen people on same day. Usually they dont do same day cater request, but they made exception since it was not busy and they just opened. They also gave me a bit of a discount. They told me to to come in an hour and when I did everything was ready and boxed. The only down side is that they didnt provide serving utensil. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food.

Food here is very good although they had us wait for over 40 minutes for just simple taco orders when everyone around us was getting their orders of platters that seem to take much more time to prepare and by the way people that had arrived after us. In some form my family and i did feel discriminated. Other wise if i ever eat their food it will be as a take out not eating in again.

The food is awesome, but ordering food and having it delivered is a nightmare. They constantly deliver the wrong order, they have one phone line so it is always busy. They keep you on hold for 10+ minutes just to place an order. We have 50+ people from our company that order once a week from them, but now we will go elsewhere. This is ridiculous. Very disappointed!

Truly pleased with the service provided to us. Everyone, starting from the manager to the waitress, were very nice and accommodating! We celebrated my daughters birthday with a group of friends; needless to say, the food was AMAZING, delicious, and well prepared, and the attention to our group was outstanding. Recommended 100%! We will definitely return!

I went last night around 9:45 pm, closing there sign said open and the doors were open. I go to the counter and the lady at the register tells me there I closed and walked me out side and said that Fridays they close at 10. Maybe they should changed there closing hours to 9:45pm and next time change the sign to close and keep the doors locked.

Ive ordered delivery from them twice so far through GrubHub, both times the food has been delicuous, the delivery person has been very polite and the food was always just a little earlier than what the GrubHub app promised. Their portion sizes are generous, I have had leftovers both times. Definitely ordering from them again!

Best tacos in the area! (The steak and shrimp tacos are phenomenal)The food quality is exceptional, no fatty pieces in the steak tacos. The horchata is also delicious, you can tell they make it in-house and dont use that premade mix. If you are looking for authentic, high quality Mexican food, then this is the place for you.
