Salsa a mediocre, somewhat disappointing serving for such well regarded establishment. Certainly in the lower tier of the well loved quality Salsas. 2 Stars. Chips plain average. 2 Stars. Lunch menu, Chili Relleno and Crunchy Taco an uneventful fast lunch serving. Beans salty, the tiny presence of guacamole near frozen, Rice a little better. Dull and uninspiring offering. 3 Stars. House Carnitas, boasting of being home made, long ways for upper placement. Chewy, while also managing to be dried, back to Carnitas 101. At best 3 Stars. Soda bottle ($3.50) water drinkable. Place looked colorful, service adequate. Someone extremely kind and nice suggested this place, a little hard to tell her how mediocre everything was. Total with gratuity way past $60. By reading the reviews of this place, expectations were met by reality, and let's just say it did not pan out. So this place merits 4.3 Stars on average? I respectfully disagree. 3 Stars.

The service was fast. Hostess let us pick where to sit and immediately got asked our drink choices and got chips and salsa, and a really big size of chips! We ordered and food came out in about 6 minutes. Very impressed! Prices were par and the food was great. I got the huevos con chorizo and he got the fajita lunch. Flavor was so good! Didn't have to add any spices or sauces. Definitely would go back! The expedition of everything made it a nice in and out stop!!

Their food is very good! They are always busy around lunchtime, and it's hard to find a place to park, so I recommend going earlier if you can. The dining room is usually noisy, but comfortable.

We love going there for their lunch menu. Good food at a very fair price. The Chili Rellenos are particularly good and the service is always excellent. The outdoor patio is a nice addition.

Most authentic food since we left Cozumel. Everyone is very nice. The (Durham ) has Handcrafted tables and chairs to add to authenticity. Always clean. Food is fresh. Margaritas are awesome!

Absolutely loved this restaurant. They have plenty of outdoor seating and a small indoor area that was comfortable. Service was very good, servers were efficient & friendly. I had a chicken tostada & a cheese enchilada along with a small guacamole. Veggies on my tostada were fresh and the chicken was tasty. I'm very picky about the cheese & sauce on my enchiladas and can say theirs did not disappoint. My friend ordered quesadillas and said they were delicious. There was a nice little salad along side the quesadilla that had a good scoop of guacamole. Definitely going back when I'm in the area.

I was sober for 11 years before I stepped foot into this restaurant. The waiter mistakingly placed a pitcher of blackberry margarita on my table, and following a regretful bout with my ex wife Kelly I couldn't help myself but to drink the entire pitcher. Later in the night, drunken and ashamed, they actually had the nerve to ask ME to pay for it. Tonight is the third night I've spent alone in this motel room, and one of the last nights I think I have left before my credit card declines. Kelly I miss you. Please come back. Franz jr. I hope you know how much your father loves you.

Good chips and salsa. Everything we have had has been good. We really like the taqueria, good size meal.

A little spendy but lunch specials are decent service. Take out portions were not as large as in house portions. Taco Truck across the street is good.
