“Crystal Park always hits the mark. Employees are always exceptional, friendly, and know their stuff. Food is wonderful and always made with care and attention to detail. Location and atmosphere make for a special experience, especially on the patio when the weather is good.“

“We came for dinner one night while in town. I had the California burrito, she just had the spicy white queso and chips. She really enjoyed the queso, it was very thick. The burrito was good and a large portion. Seemed like a typical tex-mex place, which I could tell from the menu and is ok with me. Friendly and helpful service. We also ordered margaritas. One large and one smaller. They were good, although I didn't feel like I'd had much tequila after finishing the large.“

“super cute decor! good menu options for couples or families!“

Cannot wait to try the pazole! My husband said his pickup was wonderful. Thank you Maria’s taco shop for some traditional food!“

“Breakfast plates were good in quantity and taste. The chorizo wasn't the best I've had, but pretty good for the price. The mango drink tasted like artificial flavoring. It didn't taste like real mangos at all. The horchata was good.“

“We’ve been going to Rudy’s since they were on South Nevada. They are the best I love their breakfast green chili and cheese enchiladas the way that’s awesome and Rudy is so gracious. He always comes and greets people bring back bread pudding though when we go, it’s not there on Sundays.“

“We love salsa on the rock!!! So lucky to have it in our neighborhood I love the surf and turf burrito can’t wait to go tonight!! Also the avocado fries with the sauce is amazing I need that sauce for everyday use! Thank you for being so good! :)“

“Rocha’s on 8th Street is a great spot if you’re craving authentic Mexican food with a wide selection of dishes that go far beyond the typical fast food fare. The flavors are bold, fresh, and clearly made with care — from their burritos to the enchiladas, everything we’ve tried has been delicious and satisfying.

That said, be prepared for sticker shock — while it’s labeled as “fast food,” the prices are closer to what you’d expect at a sit-down restaurant. It’s definitely on the higher end for this type of establishment, which may come as a surprise to some customers.

Still, if quality and authenticity are what you’re after, Rocha’s delivers. The portions are generous, the service is quick, and the menu variety is impressive. Just know going in that you’re paying for quality, not speed or low cost.“

“First time into this Pueblo Viejo. Ordered a lunch special, tamale and enchilada, my husband ordered a chili relenos and enchilada. Both were very delicious and a perfect amount of food. Rice was tasty and the chips had a great crunch to them.

Service was great and the ambiance was relaxing and inviting. Really can’t think of anything negative with this experience.

I highly recommend this Pueblo Viejo Mexican Restaurant.“

“Stopped by here while visiting Colorado Springs and loved the food and vibe. Great flavors, good drinks, nice people. 110% recommend“

“Great place for mexican. The owner recommended the relleno plate and it did not disappoint. Very reasonably priced for the menu at an average of $9 to $12 a plate. The menu is similar to the other fast food places in town, however los carnales has that family ran feel. The indoor seating is limited if you have a group of more than 6“

“So good! Atmosphere is great, food is amazing!“

“First off I've been a daniels customer for a long time and today because of the attitude given to me by the young kid up front when I paid for the food that was falling apart and my eggs and sausage were so cold it didn't even melt the cheese and I was basically told o well not a bring back we can make you another I was given a attitude and basically told to f off so I know businesses don't care because they get so much business from the base but that was completely unprofessional and rude.“

“Great place, service, and food!!! Will be back often!!!“

“Mexican food is Mexican food is Mexican food, but a memorable Mexican food restaurant is what you'll find here,friendly staff and superb recipes lovingly prepared by cooks that take pride in their trade craft. I am a serious, dedicated Foodie and have never had a disappointing meal here. Give it a try, and it's sure to become a regular stop for you and your family. Yummy ?“

“Amazing food and great service. Probably the best quesadilla I’ve ever had and their nachos are delicious. We will be back!“

“Wow. This is what I kept saying to myself over and over. For starters we got the molé wings. If you haven’t had molé you need to. It’s a chocolate cinnamon mix that is easily one of my favorite things about Mexican cuisine. These guys nailed it. The wings were fully coated in molé and cooked perfectly.For mains we got the Pablo papardelle and cochinita pibil tacos. Anyone that knows fresh pasta and tortillas knows that there’s a fresh taste that comes with both that you can’t get premade. Both the tortillas and pasta were incredible. The Alamo sauce and corn had the perfect blend of spicy and sweet from the corn. The tacos were so freaking amazing. I had never had cochinita pinup and it didn’t disappoint. The habanero slaw was the perfect addition to the taco and the fresh masa was chefs kiss.To top it all off we got the flan. Normally my wife and I are not a fan of flan, but this was perfect. It wasn’t runny. Very firm and flavorful, and the berries it came with were the perfect compliment to the dish. All in all a true 10/10. The chef and his wife are great people and the waiter made us feel special and at home. I can’t wait to share this place with my friends.“

“Absolutely fantastic food. Great service. Welcoming atmosphere. This is our new spot ❤️ Best food we’ve had in the Springs“

“Súper rico 😋 rápido y totalmente mexicano 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“EAT HERE!!!!! Some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in the springs. My family got to try a few different things like their beef tacos, tacos del carbon, chalupas (this is 10x better than the Taco Bell chalupa you likely are imagining) and enchiladas. From the beans to the rice to the chips and salsa this was phenomenal.

Such a wonderful evening with fantastic service! Thank you Arceo’s!“

“Just had the birria ramen, and ohhhmyyyygossssh it was delicious. Generous portion, definitely enough to split with someone. We will for sure go back soon!“

“So yummy!!! I love this place!!“

“Lovely decor and friendly staff make your entry into this restaurant very fun, pleasant, and inviting. We were seated in one of the five booths and our drink order taken while chips and salsa were brought. The iced tea was very good and was served with a huge slice of lemon, freshly cut. The salsa was thin, but had lots of chunks of tomato, onions, and cilantro, which I adored.
After looking through the menu, we decided to share a perfectly fair margarita which was huge when it came! My husband ordered veggie fajitas, and I decided to try the red posole with chicken.
The food, when it came, was both beautiful and aromatic. It tasted just as good! My husband's veggie fajitas came on a sizzling platter, full of onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots. They were steaming-hot and so delicious. The platter was accompanied by a plate full of rice and beans, as well as crema, guacamole, shredded lettuce, and tomato. My posole was rich and hot and full of posole (how many) and chicken. The broth was perfectly spiced, although not hot. And a plate full of veggies and accompaniments like seasoning and peppers came with it. I asked for some chopped onion as well because I love that. I dumped all of it into the posole and let it cook slightly as I ate. My husband got flour tortillas and I got corn, which were homemade and so very good! my posole was so good, but I had to take half of it home because it came in such a large bowl. (I like that they gave me a reusable plastic container to take home instead of Styrofoam as many restaurants do.)
We saw some other diners' plates. The breakfast portions are huge, as are the burritos! I look forward to coming again to try more of the delicious food here!
Notes: They do add a non-cash 4% charge to the bill if you use a credit card. Currently, it appears that all the staff are family, which is nice, but they are advertising for waitresses.“

“Went through the drive through not knowing what to expect, mind blown. Ordered the chicken tacos and the taquitos.
Got back to the hotel, rice and beans were fabulous. So were the tacos! And being from Texas where you have mexican food all over the place, I was impressed. Great job.“

“Abby was great!! All of the other locations in town start closing 3 hours early and will never serve us after 6 or 7. She had a smiling face and made our bowls exactly how we like them! After the other bad experiences we have had at other locations we really appreciate how nice and polite she was.“

“We have been twice now and the food and drinks were fabulous each time! Their $10 enchiladas suizas were delicious! The drinks are yummy and the chips and salsa flow freely. The pork rinds came out crackling. Their green chili is delish!“

“We LOVE this restaurant. We have been going there for 40 years. They have consistently great food and the wait staff is the best!“
