Price went up a lot unfortunately, 20% all at once. This used to be our family favorite, now Talavera down the street is the same cost but larger portions.

Decent as other reviewers have noted. No fajita burritos. Seems odd to me. Like other restaurants on Solano, the effort to be a great restaurant just isn't there.

I don't intend to nickel and dime any small business, but I've noticed more than once they will automatically ring you up for their more expensive "side" prices rather than the "add on" price ($4+ for a small container of guac instead of $2.45), and then frustrate when you point it out. Watch your wallet.

The crispy tacos and strawberry drink were amazing as always. Salsa could be little hotter and tastier. Service needs some improvement like to go bag, utensils, napkins etc

Five shrimp in a $15 shrimp burrito. Five. I counted. One for every 3 bucks. Never wasting my time or money here again.

I’m surprised on how they could get our orders so wrong when they are printed so clearly on the receipt. It sucks to pay extra for sour cream and cheese and not even receive it in our food.

Go to taqueria - food is good and reasonable. Only issue is orders are often times with errors and ingredients often missed in salad..wish more attention were paid to the details of the regular menus.

One of our favorite spots for take away burritos and crispy tacos. Everything is always tasty and fresh. We hit them up fairly regularly once a week and our orders are always correct (online order) unlike the experience of some reviewers.

The quality dropped recently and the utensils are almost always questionably cleaned.

For 7 years I have ordered food in my language and today, Saturday 7/6/24, a boy who dialed me who does not speak Spanish answered and put me on hold for 20 minutes and they never answered me in my language. Terrible service from this boy. It's supposedly a Mexican restaurant and no white Americans are ever seen working in there so?
Very bad service from Plano must be a new employee who doesn't like to speak Spanish
I have received very bad service after 7 years of buying from them continuously there.

Never can get an order right, staff is just lost and I'm not sure they are even trained.

Got a phone order almost completely wrong. When there is food alergys this is life or death to some people. They marked the burritos with almost no details. 2 of the burritos were simply marked with a + symbol, what the hell does that mean. This was for 6 burritos, I cant imagine that they can do other orders correctly, this was so basic. No sour cream and cheese on one of them was the order but no way to tell if mine was with no sour cream untill i was halfway through the burrito, total fail, have been there many times not going back. Not recommending this place. There is a reason chipotle is a national chain.

Good fresh Mexican food. I think the portions could have been a little bit bigger for the tostada but the plate was enough food but grown up taste on that veggie enchilada, not for kids. Bitter from kale but I don't mind that.
