Consistent good food, we like the chili Verde. We order a lb and bring it home and make our burritos or tacos. Good food and service.

I came to eat with high hopes. Unfortunately, the fish tacos reminded me of baby food because of the consistency. The margarita made me wonder if there was any alcohol in it at all.
I sat outside where one of the employees was playing loud music on his phone.
I’m afraid I wasted my cash.

I go to this Mexican restaurant about once a month I love their food especially the barbacoa dishes and they do serve beer. I would give them a five-star for this taqueria style small restaurant with fast service, except that, usually when I go in they have the music blaring so loud that it's disruptive to the dining experience. I recommend that you definitely try these guys but just be ready to ask them to turn down the blaring music. :-)

Disappointed. Our super burrito didn't have any of the extra 'super' ingredients so we overpaid for a regular burrito. The carnitas was sooo salty I couldn't eat the tacos. Overall a total bust.

We were told by my daughter's friend this was her favorite Mexican restaurant. I grew up in San Diego and I love Mexican food. My wife and daughter got burritos and they both liked them. I got the carne asada plate. The meat was tough but ehhh that comes with the territory for the cut of beef they use, the beans were not good. The rice was good. There was a small serving of lettuce and two slices of tomatoe to use with my corn tortillas. The tortillas were good. Ok. My hang up is the salsa bar. They had a lot of choices but all of them were mostly water. There was no texture to the salsa, it would run off my food and drip all over the place. I understand that adding water to the salsa would create more but it when it's this runny and wet it's not good.

The rest of my experience was average. We placed our order and the lady up front was very nice, they brought our food to the table and they were pleasant as well.

Super nice staff. Terribly bland food. Canned refried beans have 10x the flavor. Chicken enchilada also had very little flavor. Disappointing.

The food is very good and the atmosphere is clean. Unfortunately, the service on my last visit was disappointing. I ordered 2 tacos, but was given 3. When I explained the mistake, the employee insisted I had ordered 3 and never apologized or offered to fix it. Her dismissive attitude felt rude, which overshadowed an otherwise good meal.

El favorite on Mill St was always one of my goto stops for delicious food. Unfortunately over the past year I've notice that the customer service has definitely taken a nose dive. I've had issues with getting the order correct or having the drive up person making me feel like I was putting them out by asking for extra salsa. But today was the kicker. I ordered street tacos and a large Coke. I paid for my meal and was given my drink cup and went to the dispenser only to find out they were out of Coke. They were out the last time I was there. There was nothing else I wanted so threw the cup and ice in the trash next to the machine. It had a liner. The counter worker suddenly says to me, dude I have to clean that out. I was surprised by what he said and looked at him and asked him to repeat because I was hoping I had heard him wrong. But he said the same thing. I told him that it's a cup, with ice, in a liner. He then asked me if I was going to take the cup out of the garbage. I told him if you want I can leave it there or take it out and toss it on the ground. He said nothing else after that.

There are lots of great choices for Mexican food in town. I will never be back after that experience. So very disappointing

My wife and I just moved here from the Bay Area, we were in the shopping center and decided to try the restaurant. My wife had two chicken tacos and I had three chicken tacos with rice and beans, we both had margaritas. First of all, the tacos were nothing special, I’ve had much better street tacos at a more reasonable price and the margaritas were probably the worst I’ve ever had, all mix and no alcohol-
