Excellent mole- will definitely be back for it. Had the birria tacos which were perfect, fried and crunchy but not greasy- which is incredible given the generous amount of meat and Oaxaca cheese in the tacos. The service was very attentive and kind.

The steak tacos were delicious! I have eaten here 3 times now and I really enjoy the food. Please bring back the blue corn chorizo tacos, those were the bomb!!!Couple of suggestions; the beans and rice are served in a ramekin and the portions are tiny so either serve a decent amount or leave them off the dish.Also maybe print the desert menu so the guests can see what you’re charging for them. 14 bucks for Flan at lunch can be a bit of a shock when you get the bill.Take it or leave it, all in all a fantastic restaurant.Thank you ?

We arrived for a 5:30 Saturday reservation and were seated immediately. The place was empty except for the bar, but started filling up around 6:00. It is a tight squeeze literally everywhere inside, which didn't matter to me but may make it inaccessible to some. (They had high chairs, but I have no clue where one might be placed without blocking everything.) I don't know how packed it gets, but I think the entire restaurant would breathe better if they removed 1-2 tables. Of course, I assume those tables are needed on busy nights which is amazing for the restaurant!We ordered the chip service, guacamole, sweet potato appetizer, duck main dish, and taco main dish with two drinks ($130). Everything was delicious and served quickly. The staff was attentive, polite, and professional. Overall, a great date night! Would love to come back.Parking: A free lot exists behind the strip of shops but fills quickly. Paid meter parking is available on surrounding streets.Kid-friendliness: High chairs and kid menu are available, though the restaurant and tables are tight. I would not personally bring my toddler (or younger) child here for my own peace of mind.Wheelchair accessibility: Technically accessible because there are no steps from the front entrance, but a wheelchair could not fit inside.

Fantastic food and service. We love Mexico City and this place reminds you of it. We went during restaurant week but preferred to order from the ala carte menu. The sospesitos, the chicken in mole suace and the branzino were some highlights. The mezcal our server Luis recommended was amazing too. The tres leches is divine. Overall, the atmosphere was lovely and the restaurant was quite full for a Sunday evening. We will definitely be regulars now.

Always love our meals from Muchas gracias. We usually enjoy family tacos meals at home, but we adventures out amidst the snow for in-person dining. We had wonderful appetizers, the branzino.

I used Muchas Gracias take out for both Thanksgiving and Christmas 2023. Both food experiences were EXCEPTIONAL! The meals were absolutely out of this world. The Thanksgiving tamales melted in your mouth. The Christmas tamales (wrapped in plantains) were very flavorful also. The garlic rice was addictive, and the turkey with mole was even better than anything my mom ever made. The staff was incredibly responsive to email questions, phone calls, and one last minute pick-up change. I highly recommend the restaurant and its special offerings. It's about a 30 minute drive for us with no traffic, and it is worth it! I would have included a photo, but the food went too fast.

Just okay and overpriced for what it is. I don’t usually feel compelled to write reviews but save your money. Steak tacos were pretty good but small, chip service with guacamole was nothing special but cost $20+.

Hole in the wall spot with some awesome Mexican food. The little bar at the entrance is a great place for a quick bite and drink.

My wife and I ordered from here on DoorDash for Day of the Dead and we really loved the Family Taco Guisado platter we also got with Baja Fish and Guacamole. Everything was delicious and fun to make and the Tres Leches was amazing too! We look forward to ordering from and/or dining in here in the future.

I went there by myself after work while waiting to meet friends for a show at comet ping pong. The prices were high to begin with but then they added a mandatory 25% gratuity onto my bill. It just wasn't a good look. I am a good tipper but the mandatory 25% left a bad taste in my mouth. I was out of the door around $90 for two drinks and a meal.
