  I ate here a long time ago and got the last order of chicken tamales that they had. I hardly remember the visit, but when I went there today, I called ahead to see if they had any chicken tamales left. Again, they had one order left. I went there and ordered and before he entered the order in, he made sure that I was the one who phoned; he was saving them for me! Too cool.
  My friend had the shredded beef quesadilla and loved it.
  The dishes were flavourful. The portions were very good relative to the price.
  I will definitely go back and try something new next time.
  They said goodbye as we were leaving and waved to us as we walked out the door. Very friendly staff, the experience and atmosphere were so enjoyable that I'd come back even if the food wasn't as good.

  In town for work and found this place on yelp.  The service was quick and friendly.  Not busy at all for dinner time. I found the enchiladas to be "ok" , nothing great.  I thought the enchilada dinner was a bit pricey for offering.  (Included beans & rice.  The nice thing about the enchilada dinner was that I was able to select three different meats versus having to be the same selection.
  
  FYI - Had to pay to park ($1.00) around the corner from building.

  Authentic Mexican food at its finest!
  I was totally craving tacos and since I was heading to Thrifty Princess and the MEOW garage sale next door, I planned ahead and went on my errands with an empty stomach.
  The funny owner was helpful with ordering and I selected the quesadilla cuz I was feelin cheesy.
  This is the strangest quesadilla I've ever had, but boy was it gooooood!
  The soft white Mexican melts cheese acted as a cozy bed for the flavourful shredded chicken, and the strange addition of lettuce and sweet raw onions coupled with the thin salsa inside turned out to be the cherry on top! The lettuce added a crunch, the onions added a sweetness, and the medium salsa added a bit of kick and a ton of flavour.
  I ate the whole thing, and I don't feel bad about it in the slightest.
  My lime Jarrito soda topped it all off.
  I already want to go back and I only finished eating a few hours ago.

  If you are Mexican/Mexican foodie - 2/5
  Everyone else - 4/5
  
  --------------
  
  Ambience: 5/5 - Feels like you walked into a taco joint in Mexico.
  Price: 5/5 - Think fast food Mexican prices. This is value for your money!
  Service: 5/5 - Every time I have been here they have been amazing! Doesn't matter if its evening rush or Saturday midnight.
  
  Food: This is where things get .... difficult.
  
  IF you are NOT a Mexican foodie then you may very well enjoy this restaurant. If you want to enjoy food without too much spice and/or more mild flavors then this is a great pick - 4/5
  
  BUT
  IF you are a Mexican foodie, you will lament the lack of spices and flavor, because there is close to none. The salsa is spicy and you can add some flavor that way but in the end... it is simply not up to standard. - 2/5
  
  Hope this helps! Enjoy.
  
  ================
  
  What did I eat?
  Chips with salsa and guacamole.
  Chile Releno
  Tacos
  Barbacoa tacos
  
  Disclaimer: Why do I get to judge?
  My Mexican friends dislike the food here and some of my non-Mexican friends come here to get their taco fix because pepper is too spicy... 0.0

  Simple décor.. But a very strong Mexican fair.  I visited the place for lunch.  Restaurant is on a busy street so parking has to be on the side streets.  The menu is good and varied.  I went for a bistec enchilada.  I thought it was good and flavourful   the service is ok as I had to come and pick the fish from the counter.  He should improve providing sauces as I had to ask for it after I stated eating.  Also I was not offered water or beverages.  I asked for them.  The restaurant is not very expensive ànd it is worth the visit but you should not expect a full service.  Restaurant is very clean including bathrooms.. You should give it a try and come by.
