It might be the best Mexican food in JP but it doesn't mean much. Unfortunately this place didn't live up to the early expectations and instead went quantity over quality. It is a chain now so you try the food at many locations.

They overcharge you
Really good food is a good stop for a Mexican meal. The servers felt a little pushy and controlling. Portions were small and pricey.

I got the Birria tacos with extra cheese but it didn’t look like they added much. Next time I’ll get the cheese on the side and add it myself. Nonetheless very yummy and filling portions

Went for dinner with my wife. We are both big fans of lengua (don't knock it until you try it) so my wife had to order the torta lengua. I was craving rice and beans with my main dish so I ordered the chicken enchiladas.
They both were ready in mere minutes as the kitchen staff were starting to prepare our food as we were ordering. The lengua was tender and the bread was soft but had the strength to not fall apart after 2 bites. The vegetables were fresh. My chicken enchiladas were pretty good as well. The chicken and corn tortillas were amazing. That whole side of the plate with the cream, chicken, avacado, corn casing were exceptional. However the rice and beans were lazily bland and a bit watery. I ate the whole plate it was just sad that the main was exceptional, yet the side couldn't follow the main's lead.
Lastly, I ordered a horchata for my wife as we strolled home. My wife had no complaints, but the drink had a tad too heavy of star anise for my taste.
This place is a JP staple that I enjoy, there are just a few things, which I mentioned, that could be fixed to easily make this a 5/5 establishment.

The food is ok but they don't answer the phone.
The Torta was basically a grilled cheese with guac. Huge and flavorless. I’ll go back to try a burrito and update this but I had higher expectations tbh.Cashier was friendly so bonus star there from me.

I ordered a birria torta and a passion fruit drink and the total was over $28 including a 15% tip. Wow! Expensive… and the meal was mid.
