“This is our first time trying them. At first, I was a bit taken back, being that we paid 52 for 2 burritos(lengua, and Al pastor), with a torta cubana, and 2 glass cokes, At roughly 10 per item, I was very happy with the size of the burrito. It may look small, but they were very generous with the meet.

Flavors: the lengua was very soft, and seasoned very nicely! Not to overwhelmingly season, and just seasoned enough to still be able to get the taste of lengua.

Al pastor: this was done very well! It had a good kick, the meat itself was tender, and not dry. The spices itself weren't overwhelming, and mixed together nicely.

The rice in both were good as well, it didn't feel store bought, which was very nice considering most places use precooked rice🤢

The music wasn't too overwhelmingly loud.

I can't comment on the inconsistency, as this was our first, but be on the lookout for an updated review!!“

We sat in the bar area to catch some college football, and our server was quick and attentive. The food was on point — flavorful, fresh, and just as good as always. Another great visit. Highly recommend“

“No wait to be seated, food had good taste but had to wait awhile for food. Music was nice, there were some families and couples. The salsa tasted homemade and fresh. The only minus is the wait for food and the tortillas were very thin. I ordered gorditas and my partner ordered the steak and it was good

I suggest getting another server to handle phone/takeout sand then one for dine in.“

“Dulcinea is the definition of hidden gem/hole in the wall. Tucked away next to a storage unit down an industrial road, blink and you’ll miss it. My wife and I came in early on a Friday evening and although it was quiet and we were the only ones in there I had a feeling we’d have a great experience!! The waitress didn’t speak English but we spoke enough Español to communicate what we wanted. Guac, taquitos, shrimp tacos and a carnitas burrito.
Good came out looking and smelling amazing! And boy was it some of the most delicious Mexican food either of us have had in the area. Great vibe in the restaurant, a huge selection of authentic Mexican bites and an amazing, friendly server. You can’t go wrong with giving Dulcinea’s a chance.
I can’t wait to come back“

“Delicious food, very fresh ingredients. Our table especially loved the excellent salmon, fajitas, pupusas, guac, house-made tortillas, and the amazing chocolate cheesecake. We had plenty of leftovers of everything except the cheesecake, so we bought more cheesecake to take home.\n\nThe staff and new owner were extraordinarily kind, helpful, patient, and attentive to our table with a lot of special needs. Truly gracious. I would give them 10 stars.\n\nThe atmosphere is attractive, comfortable, and welcoming. Quiet enough for easy conversation. I like the new wooden booths with higher backs than the past ones. I love the vibrant artwork.\n\nPlenty of convenient parking, including handicapped spaces.\n\nThis was a special birthday lunch, and Acajutla made it a really great experience for all of us.“
