Erika's Mexican Food & Seafood

Had a really nice experience during my first visit. I completely misread the menu and ordered a green chile chilaquiles burrito. It’s not a menu item but they didn’t turn down my request or even say it wasn’t on the menu; they just made it! I only realized afterwards that it was not a menu item but the burrito was delicious! All the ingredients were fresh, the rice was very flavorful and well seasoned and overall very enjoyable. I’d definitely go back to try more stuff. It was really nice of them to make me an item that wasn’t even on their menu and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.

I virtually never give reviews to restaurants however I felt compelled because I eat here a few times a week and I don’t care for the other Mexican restaurants in the area. I really wish I had a copy of their carne asada recipe I enjoy it so much. Can’t really say anything but positive things about the food from the tortas to the burritos to the combination plates. Also, happy that soccer matches are always playing on the TV :)

I've been driving past this place for the last 10 years. Finally gave it a try.... now it's one of my favorite spots for Menudo and Michaladas. Fresh salsa and chips on the house. The employees are extremely nice and respectful.

I highly encourage anyone considering going to here read all the way through this. Whether you're a new customer or a returning one.

There are a few pieces that connect to give this review the stars I have. In the past few years, this place has been great. No issues. Our most recent experience however, had some very big issues.

It started when my dad inquired about the Al Diabla burrito's cost and ingredients, and instead of getting a straight answer, was told it looked like the photo. The photo in question had what looked like a brown sauce on top, so he asked if it was mole. The lady he was talking to said it was a very spicy chile sauce and eventually talked him out of trying it and recommended the Ranchero Burrito.

He expressed that he was considering the shrimp burrito and she indicated that they could make a shrimp ranchero burrito, and he decided to try that.

I ordered the Milanesa Torta and I did technically get one. I say it that way because it was lacking a lot of the ingredients that are listed for it on the menu. It did not have any beans, lettuce, or mayo/sauce, and the meat itself was seemingly unseasoned and just deep fried. There was a bit of avocado, tomato, and onion on it, but just barely.

My dad's food however, was a much bigger issue. He didn't receive a burrito of any kind. He got what appeared to be some kind of shrimp plate with an extremely watery and slightly red sauce and extremely salty beans and a small salad as the sides. He did also get 2 tortillas, but they became rock hard as they cooled to room temperature.

The third issue was how much we were charged.

Given that these 2 items were all we ordered, the total should have been somewhere between 23-25 dollars after tax. We were charged 32 and were not given a reciept at time of purchase. We found that out after getting home and checking the bank account due to having discovered everything we did about the food.

It was a to go order, so we discovered the food issues after we got home and the place had already closed, so we couldn't got back in and make them aware of the issue.

I asked some people that I knew about thier experience to see if trying to go in tomorrow to talk to them would be worth it, and that led to me understanding to major things from thier experiences at least;
1)Every one of them has had similar bad experiences
2)Reporting the incident got them talked down to like the employees did nothing wrong and nothing was done to rectify the situation.

We did place the order around 6:20 p.m. and I am aware that they close at 7 p.m. I can understand the kitchen being out of some ingredients, or being unable to make certain menu items at that hour, but that should be communicated to the customer and does not explain or excuse being given a completely different item than was ordered (Plate instead of burrito) or being overcharged and not being given a reciept.

I am only giving the 2 stars that i have because of how good they've been historically.

Thank you for reading, and please take this if you intend to go here.

P.S.
I have posted a review about this on Yelp as well with slightly different verbiage. This is slightly condensed, but hits all the same points.

The rolled tacos were delicious. Lots of cheese, sour cream, and lettuce. Guacamole comes with it as well. Good service, plus a good price.

Dietary restrictions: They are accommodating for food allergies.

I ordered 6 tacos, a side of rice, a side of beans and a drink. It was Taco Tuesday so the tacos were $1.50 each. Side of rice was supposed to be $5.00 and the beans $4.00. The drink was $3.00. I was charged 32.59. This is a picture of the food I got. Never going back again. I wanted to go back and complain but my daughter doesn't like confrontation.

I hardly ever leave a review for places but I will start off by saying that the California burrito was more of just a Carne asada and peppers burrito, hardly any French fries, no guacamole, no cheese. Then I tried the Caldo De Pollo, I was disappointed to find out the broth was VERY watery, like super bland and had no flavor. It was honestly a waste of money and I don't think I'll be ordering from here again.
