Ordered off of door dash, all I can say is this place is a joke! But it made a turd! Employee answered the phone with an attitude and didn't want to hear anything I had to say! So this you will hear out loud! Your food and employee was rude and now your place sucks! This is 12 tacos by the way! Sure didn't get my money's worth nor did they fix there mess up! Good luck on everyones next order!

This was one of my favorite spots to get costillas de puerco but now they give small portions. Not enough to feed a grown man, but food Is good.

So So on the flavor. Had the carne asada tacos and a carne asada casa dia. Nothing special at all. Even the onion and sparse cilantro didn’t add much. Chicken tacos was sub par. Got some guacamole and chips and those were good.

This some of the best authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had. Don’t let the outside of the building turn you away! The food is amazing!!!

I just send my husband to order me and order of quesadilla and idk why if it’s the cooks there but there was no flavor on the chicken and that is not how a quesadilla should be they gave me basically two tacos with cheese and chicken I will be also calling them to let them know that the rice was hard. And that his food was cold. I been to the palmetto one and by far it has a better flavor than the one in Bradenton it had been 3 months since I have ate from them. Now never again and I will be letting my friends and family know of the flavor and quality of the food.

Updated: I did called and spoke to the manager she handled it well my complain and she will let the cooks know. I did appreciate that she did knowledge my complain and apologize. I will be coming back in the future hopefully things would have gotten better. But I will give it a few months before I order food from there again. Thank you

They say hole in the wall restaurants or ā€œMom and Popā€ restaurants have the best food. I agree in this instance, they have some of the best food in a Mexican restaurant around here.

That said - the service is horrible. The young lady taking the orders told me she couldn’t sell me the tamale platter at 735pm because they come with 3 tamales and they had 2 tamales left. I understand it is 25 minutes till closing so I asked her what she could substitute for the missing tamale. She said she couldn’t sell it because it was short a tamale. I really wanted tamales and that was the only reason I drove across town to come here. She did not offer a solution until I provided my own solution when I incredulously asked her if she was not going to sell me the last 2 tamales because of this? Finally she offered to do a la cart pricing for the 2 tamales and I added a side of rice, a taco and a can of soda.

It is ready quickly and in 5 minutes I have my food. This would have been a wonderful visit despite the ordering confusion at the beginning but then she insisted it was take out only. I told her she closed in 20 minutes, why can I sit there and quickly eat it. She proceeds to tell me take out only after 7pm. After assuring her I eat fast and would be gone in 5 minutes, she reluctantly allowed me to sit there and eat my food. At 4 minutes 30 seconds (I set a timer on my watch), she is insisting it has been 5 minutes and she starts spraying cleaner near me while I am eating. I told her I have 30 seconds before I hit my 5 minute deadline. I finished at 4 minutes 45 seconds and left. That was at 745pm and closing time was 8pm.

She needs to take a customer service class because that is not how you treat customers. Especially if you want to grow your Business by word of mouth and reputation. I might try them again in the future but I hope by then the service will better. I would have given 4 or maybe 5 stars if the service had been nicer. Food was excellent.
