Ordered a quesadilla and it was more cheese and tortilla than it was STEAK!!! it was dry not to mention they don’t have guacamole or avocado. I had to eat my quesadilla upside down just because it was barely anything in it.

Really enjoyed the gorditas! The meat was very flavorful. Lots of options to choose from and they serve more than gorditas, which are essentially a stuffed taco (for the un-initiated). The orange sauce provided with the gorditas is very spicy, but a delicious flavorful bomb. Really complimented the gordita and ingredients inside very well! Great atmosphere in the restaurant too. Everything tasted great, good service, and no complaints. Hope to return regularly. Thank you!

Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options from what I remember

Dietary restrictions: Lots of menu options

Parking: Street parking only - maybe 20-30 spots nearby but many other businesses and their customers competing for those spots. Might have to walk a short distance, but not bad.

Kid-friendliness: Several kinds inside eating the food, no kid specific menu.

No mas!!!

We have ordered twice in 1 week with the same results. Impossible to reach anyone by phone to order; if they do answer they hang up on you if you don't speak Spanish. This forces you to go through the web site ChowNow. Somehow despite the fact that it is a computerized order the restaurant can't get the order right. Some items are completely missing, other items are substituted without notice. I returned to the restaurant to get a refund for an item that was missing from our order and was told that they couldn't help me since the order was through ChowNow, even though all of the errors were on the part of the restaurant. The restaurant will not refund your money or provide a substitute item. Of course that is assuming you have time to go back after you figure out that they messed up your order. The manager did not even apologize for their multiple errors. Maybe good for eating in but not for take out......

I ordered gordita with roast pork but they gave me roast beef, that was not what I ordered and apart from the gordita, it had almost no meat, only a little bad service.

Very good picadillo Verde. Proper gordita. Take the warning about salsa being hot seriously.

This Mexican restaurant located at entrance with a number of smaller shops beyond. Homey atmosphere with very traditional decor, colorful and very attractive. Service staff are mostly Hispanic spanish speakers, few are fluent in english. Cantina style -- orders and pickups from the same counter and help yourself to utensils, condiments etc.

Food portions are generous, flavorful, freshly made and tasty. Their coffee - cinnamon flavored Mexican style is great and their 'Jamaica' and 'Tamarind' drinks are most excellent, very highly commend.

Breakfast, lunch and light dinners are served from a modestly sized menu with all the main and essentially Mexican dishes you can expect. To suit Midwestern pallettes the spices and the heat are toned down or else served on the side in tiny cups. Very strongly recommend their hand-made Chilli sauces, sprinkle or dip to taste.

This restaurant is popular with locals who file in till full on weekend mornings, many of them seeming Hispanic or Mexican themselves. Furniture, lighting and seating is sturdy, heavy and older, worse for wear but adequate, cutlery is plastic, very little to no frills or extras, main reason can only give 4 stars

Parking: Empty lot across the street might be available for parking. Located on a corner lot, usually some spaces available street side
