A real mixed bag here. Let's start with the positives. This is one of the most beautifully painted Mexican restaurants I've ever been into especially for a counter-service one. Very comfortable with high ceilings high top and low top table seating options. To dining areas. A beautiful salsa bar with fresh everything fantastic marinated carrot onion medley.
I can't comment on the meats. I had huevo ranchero ranchera with scrambled eggs. I specifically asked for soft scrambled eggs and I had told the counter girl very specifically and gave her a image to take to the cook. They still brought back eggs that were hard scrambled with brown on them. Pathetic excuse for a cook can't help himself from burning eggs. They didn't even apologize or offer to remake the eggs. That's bad service.
On the positive side the portions were huge the rice was cooked well in the beans were delicious. The price was fair for what you get these days I guess including a very well stocks also bar with chips that were delicious. They just need to learn how to cook eggs in this place 🍳🥚😣

If you haven’t been to Las Cazuelas, you’re missing out on fajita greatness. We ordered the fajita mix, and let me tell you, when they hit the table, the sizzling was loud enough to turn heads in the next county.
The real star of the night though? Our waitress, Rico. She’s the kind of server who makes you feel like she’s been expecting you all week. She suggested a red wine pairing that turned out to be so perfect, I briefly considered nominating her for a James Beard Award on the spot.
The food? Flavor-packed and generous. The service? Quick, friendly, and genuinely fun. Rico even managed to make us laugh while topping off our drinks, which is no small feat when you’re halfway hypnotized by a skillet of sizzling fajitas.
If you’re in the area, go. Order the fajitas. Ask for Rico. And prepare to leave very full, very happy, and maybe just a little bit spoiled for other Mexican restaurants.

This place has to be one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to , the food is super delicious, the prices are cheap! The amount of food they give you will shock you And all the staff are friendly people The place is super clean and the guacamole salsa they have is amazing
Santa Fe Market is like 2 minutes away and has really good al pastor. The pastor here is possibly the worst I have ever had. I also don't like their micheladas. They put so much tamarind that it's more like eating candy than it is like drinking. The place seems cleaner and more modern than a lot of Mexican places, but that doesn't make up for the relatively high prices for mediocre (at best) fare.
