The portions are borderline ok, but the beef and chicken taste bland and very tough, as if it was previously frozen — too expensive for what you get.

Food is very tasty and reasonably priced. I loved their spicy shrimps. I think a lot of people do carry-out but you can dine in.

Chile Relleno was frozen before they refried it… otherwise they have some hard chilies. Mushy and flavorless. The lengua was not even fully cooked.

Quick service, huge variety, reasonably priced and a large quantity of food. Quest Fundido, a meal in itself!

Terrible food, terrible service. Now i know why its always empty. I wouldn’t go here. Waiter saw it was 4 of us… Yet only got 2 plates. We also had to ask for silverware.

The quesadillas were excellent, far better than anything else I’m aware of between the hours of midnight and 3 am. 5 star food. But I would STRONGLY recommend against going here during karaōke hours(which I think are 9pm — 3am) unless you have military-grade earphones. The karaōke was unbelievably loud(maybe 110 – 120 decibels).

Had the steak and pork tacos, beans, and rice. Most flavorful and quality meat without hard fatty chunks and gristle mixed in. Beans and rice on point. Looking forward to returning.

This place was a ghost town when we showed up at 7-ish on a Thursday night. It must really be the late night spot though! At Mexican restaurants, free chips and salsa are an absolute must for me and thankfully this place delivered. I wasn’t really wowed by the salsa. The menu is extensive and had a ton of seafood options but I chose the Mexican Mix that was served with rice and beans, as I thought that was the best bang for my buck. And I was hungry, but what else is new. Again the food was good and there was plenty of it, but I wasn’t really wowed by it. The service was good and I have no complaints there. I’m still confused by the extra tortillas they brought out(not sure who’s meal they were supposed to come with), but hey I don’t complain about freebies.

I have to tell you, I really, really liked this place. It’s not very imposing when you get there, in fact we never knew the restaurant was there. We live only a couple of miles from here and asked the server how long they’d been in business. We learned they have been located there for six years. It’s pretty easy to miss. What set this apart from typical Mexican restaurants in the area was the prevalence of seafood on the menu. We started with an order of Guacamole.(Note, on the menu this is listed as «market price».) There were three of us so we asked if the small or large would be good for us. He said the small was one avocado and the large was 1 ½. We ordered the large and it was enormous. There had to be three or four Haas Avocados in it. But, it was outstanding. It had just the right balance of onion, garlic, jalapeño, lime, etc. Very, very fresh. For dinner, my son and I each got«PARRILLADALEVANTAMUERTOS». This is sort of a fajita like dish with Shrimp, fish, calamari, oysters, red & green and onions. It is all marinated in a spicy paste seasoning. It comes with rice and tortillas(choice of corn or wheat). This was absolutely great — delicious. When you order this, you can order it for one person through four people. It all comes on one plate. The meal was enormous. In fact, I usually pride myself on finishing everything. This time, the food won. We finished all of the fish, but only about ½ of the tortillas and a little more than ½ of the guacamole. One other thing, they offer a check in special on Unilocal — buy one entrée and get one for ½ price. This offer is also available on their website as a coupon. While they are not particularly expensive, every little bit helps.

It’s not often that I pen reviews that ring in well under the 5,000 character limit, but for this ultra-basic, strip-mall locale I’ve decided to keep it to a minimum(as best I can) and give out just the straight stuff. Here goes: ** Open til 3am Tuesday through Sunday ** A darn good ceviche dish. For $ 8.50 you get a larger-than-cereal-bowl sized of all seafood in citrus zest topped with sliced and sliced avocado. It’s served with Ritz crackers and Valentina brand extra hot sauce. ** Camarones el Diablo was legit hot. My gums are still kind of tingly and that’s how I like it. My The late is around $ 12 and you get 7 medium-large sized shrimp, rice, beans and tortillas. ** Free chips and salsa. ** The vegetarian mix plate was just okay. Tostada was great, also included small, plain cheese quesadilla and smallest burrito ever(pretty much ¾ of an enchilada sized) that was just beans, rice… which the dish also had a side of. It was kind of beans, cheese and rice overload but with all the meat options here, I can’t imagine that they have a huge call for veggies. ** The service was pretty standard. Very neutral on the excitement level of having customers in the near-empty business, but there could have been a very slight language barrier. ** I was expecting this place to be a counter order/take out type place from the outside, but it’s actually a full service sit-down restaurant. ** Inside is alarmingly barren of decorations. Just red walls and very basic chairs and standing tables. If I didn’t know it was a Mexican restaurant, I’d think it was a just a room used to store chairs and tables, although towards the ceiling you can see they have multiple strobe lights, speakers, projectors and screens and also an area in the corner that look like it might be able to house a dj — not sure though. Perhaps there’s a party hour or something that I’m not yet familiar with. ** Horchata was pretty darn good… but when are they ever not might be the better question. ** I really enjoyed the ceviche, but overall I wasn’t ‘wowed’ by anything else I had, probably in part to not eating meat(besides fish), which I think really makes or breaks most Mexican food experiences. If you aren’t eating Mexican food with meat, you’re probably eating something you could’ve recreated at home. ** They had one of the larger seafood menus I’ve seen at a budget-friendly Mexican restaurant, and offered a variety of unique options. ** Our bill was $ 35(with a 50% off your second entrée Unilocal check-in deal) for two Horchatas, chips and salsa giant bowl of ceviche and two meals, of which we had leftovers. ** In the end, the lack of atmosphere took the dining experience down a notch, but I’d go back and/or call in a carry out order if I were in the area. That ceviche would be a great item to bring to a party, especially since it’s large enough to share with a family.**
