The Alambre is well worth trying, service is cool, small family place. Gets full for the dinner rush, food overall is great

Best Mexican place I’ve been to since I’ve moved to the area! The food is authentic and always fresh! The service is always prompt and pleasant! This is my favorite out of more than a handful of places my husband and I have been!

This place is aw well kept secret ! We have lived in this valley for 10 years & we are so glad we found this little Latin Food Heaven, believe me I am a very picky person & a true foodie, the food me & my husband ate last night was excellent ! I had the beef hard taco & chicken enchilada & husband had beef burrito, OMG, we usually never eat the retfried beans, we ate every bit & wanted more. The service was Outstanding «David» was so attentive & only wanted u to be happy, he is a perfect model of what Service should look like. IF u like Flan done right it is thick & Creamy, just delicious. We can NOT. wait to get back here. It is a small quaint place it’s been there 20 years & u can tell why, I will let u know about the other dishes when we go back, they have an extensive menu. All I can say is WOW this first time around. THanks David for your Extra TOUCH :)

So I came here because I had read good reviews on Unilocal and I wanted to give them a try for dinner tonight but I was really disappointed.
Let’s start with the service; bad from the beginning. As soon as me and a friend walked in, no greeting just a mad dog stare from a man behind the counter in the kitchen.
After we were seated and no one was there but us so the lady started by taking our drink orders and it was fine. I ordered my horchata (no refills) and my dinner plate. everything was ok, but then the guy behind the counter starts yelling at some of the workers and he then proceeds to bring out a slab of raw meat and starts cutting it up (IN THE DINING AREA) like 10 feet away! I didn’t feel like my presence was wanted there at all. me and my friend ate our food and left as soon as we could. You don’t get what you pay for. The food was sub-​par and the portions were measly. I will not be coming back here again, no thank you.

My partner and I were headed home from Death Valley and we had the most fierce appetite. Unilocaled around and found this little gem in Lancaster. First off service was really great they quickly refilled our chips and salsa as we naturally scarfed them down the minute they set them on our table.
My Partner ordered the Chile Relleno plate with the cheese enchilada and I ordered the wet chicken burrito: both meals came out hot and both were delicious. Good flavors, good portions good prices. We both cleaned our plates.
We will be coming back!

Waiter bring you more chips before you ask, delicious food. Presentation is usually not great with Mexican food, but this place is the only place that go the extra mile of slicing the lengua and placing it on the plate. A++ it’s too bad, I don’t get to pass by Lancaster all that much.

My mother and I walked into this establishment for the first time. The people in the kitchen and I made eye contact but didn’t give any kind of acknowledgment or greeting. They went back to whatever they were doing back there. We sat ourselves and proceeded to wait there for 20 minutes until we decided to get up and leave. There was one other customer at another table whom already was eating. Poor excuse for a business.

Great food, service and prices. Would recommend this place to any true lover of Mexican food.

My family and I have been coming here for a long time, this family owned restaurant always has fast a friendly service, the shrimp cocktails are amazing and so is the rest of the food! Definitely would recommend

The best spot we have so far since moving here. Hole in the wall, best hidden spots ever
The chimichanga was the bomb and inexpensive!

Food is delicious and fantastic service. It’s a nice little sit down restaurant across the street from Home Depot. Portion sizes are very big and I loved the homemade horchata.

Delicious food, great service and reasonable prices. I was expecting a taqueria for some reason and this is a little sit down place which was fine.
Truly a mom and pop dine-​in experience. Chile relleno is to die for, just amazing flavor and freshness of ingredients.
Tremendous service — waiter was so helpful and kind. I’ll be back next time I pass through Lancaster.

This is definitely going to be one of my new favorites. The salsa and chips were so good. It is small and in a little strip mall but I felt very comfortable there. The waitress took very good care of us and we felt welcome. The food was some of the best Mexican that I have found in Lancaster.

It’s so authentic, I was afraid to drink the water! Seriously good food. I would definitely come again.

Perfect Mom n Pops Mexican style faire when needing a place to stop off in Lancaster!
Happy we used Unilocal to find something other than the fast food along the road to satiate us after hiking the Kern!
I had the Shrimp Fajitas and a house salad and the rest of the goers at my table enjoyed the Steak Alambres and the Carne Asada burrito… All plates scraped clean!
Super friendly service and freshly made guacamole make this spot a gem!

I really wanted a good burrito, and I found it here. Their meat has an excellent flavor and the size was good. Delicious.
Also their salsa has the perfect heat to it, so tasty. I will dream of their food.

Whenever I am around the area, this is definitely my go to Mexican food joint.
The staff is very friendly, the chips and salsa are always fresh and warm, the waters are always tasty, just good place overall!
I’ve had a lot of the items on the menu, and they have all been delicious, but my favorite have been the chicken enchiladas and carnitas burrito.
They do get pretty busy, but they are always around, drink is always full, just a great place to go! Definitely recommendable!

Yum! Came here tonight with the family because of the Unilocal reviews. We were not disappointed.
I ordered the chicken taco al la cart and my hubby and I both got the chicken chimichangas. The taco was by far my highlight of the night. It was so tasty! The crunchy shell was perfect– not too hard or soft. The chicken was flavorful and not dry. Tons of cheese and lettuce. The chimichanga was really good too. It was covered with a brownish sauce that id never tried before but was excellent. Rice and beans were both full of flavor.
We got my daughter a cheese quesadilla (not on the menu) and rice. She loved it all! (She’s picky about rice). We ordered the fried ice cream and shared it. Very good as well. I’ll definitely be back here! This place can do no wrong! Even service was top notch.

The service is great and the food is amazing.
My husband and I love this place. Our favorite is the gringo Burrito with Asada. The chips taste fresh and the salsa is homemade.
We’ve also tried the Carnitas burrito, chicken fajita burrito, chicken enchiladas and a few other items and they have all been fantastic.

CLOSED ON TUESDAYS
Awesome carne asada and el pastor tacos or burritos. This place is kind of weird because you can only order tacos in increments of 3. They won’t make you one taco of a single meat so you can’t try all the meats individually unless you want to order 3 tacos of everything.
It’s a janky little family ran place that serves up tasty home-​cooked food but the highlight of this place … is the HORCHATA. The homemade horchata is like liquid crack and I highly recommend you try it. I’m something of a horchata connoisseur and this place is the best I’ve ever had. The perfect balance of rice milk and cinnamon without being too sweet or too watery.
They don’t accept American Express.
