“It’s funny that some of the reviews here complain about servers not speaking English...it’s an actual authentic Mexican restaurant what do you expect? The menus are in both English and Spanish and have descriptions if you are not familiar with Mexican food. I love this place and you really can’t beat the prices. The food is great and I always wind up taking some home (maybe because I fill up on all the chips and salsa they give before the meal).“

“My friends and I had a fantastic time here and will definitely be coming back soon! Be sure to check out their specials!“

“Today, while visiting Springfield for work, I stumbled upon an amazing Latin American restaurant. It was undoubtedly the best Latin American restaurant I've tried recently. My partner and I had burritos and fajitas, and they were delicious. Although I don't live in this area, I was so impressed that despite being full, I ordered more food to take away. The staff were also friendly, making our day even more enjoyable. I am grateful for the pleasant experience and would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“This place had great reviews about being authentic and they are very good. I ordered the short rib Birria Tacos and they were delicious. Corn tortillas taco was on point with spicy sauces on the side. I will be ordering from them again. My only critique the dipping sauce came in a styrofoam cup, and that’s why I gave 4 ⭐️’s but it is a 5. It would be nice if they used paper containers instead. ??????

“Food was delicious but if you have a dairy allergy beware of the butter used in the rice and vegetables!!!!“

“We had a great meal at LaColina Mexican Cantina. We got seated pretty quick but we did get there by 6… got a little more crowded at 7 on a Saturday night. Food options were great as well as the drinks. Atmosphere was great also and there was a good amount of people there on a Saturday night. Just one down side… I don’t like that they automatically add on 20% tip on the bill. Tip should be based on great service and at the customers discretion.“

“Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent food for our recent party. The guests were all commenting how delicious and well prepared the food was. It was also more food than we expected, and was very well packed for transport. We’ve enjoyed the experience of dining at Sofia’s, and now also the catered g experience.“

“Went here for dinner tonight the first time. Food was absolutely amazing. Stephanie was our host/server and she was fantastic at recommendations. Food was delicious. Will definitely make this my new Spanish go to restaurant. The Salvadorian Chicken Tamale was moist and dense, and the flavors mixed perfectly together. If you order the beef empanadas, ask them for their new homemade hot sauce. It's a perfect blend of sweet & heat to go with the pastry dough. Their plantains were a good addition of sweet to the dense of the meal. Their flan was the perfect size for a nice ending dessert to a very filling meal. Definitely a highly recommended place to get an excellent and very affordable meal.“

“I would have given 5 but I need to go back a few times. Great service, food was fresh and on point. I had the Barria tacos with cheese..the give 4 tacos that were filled just right. Wife had Barria quesidilla which she couldn't even finish. Server was helpful and friendly and food came out fast and hot.

“Stopped by for a quick takeout lunch. I had the cecina tacos. 4, 2-bite double corn tortillas packed with meat and topped with onions, cilantro, and avacado. It was served with cucumbers and lime with salsa verde and roja on the side. It was a huge flavor bomb and took just 5 minutes to make. The tacos and a bottle of water came to just over $15. Totally worth the wait.

Parking: A couple spots up front if lucky“

“One of my favorite dishes at Los Jarros is the vegetarian taco salad. It's made with a bed of lettuce, rice , black beans, pico, cheese, (add jalapenos for spice!) and sour cream. The star of the show, though, is the guacamole. It's made with fresh avocados, cilantro, onions, and tomatoes, and it's absolutely delicious.The whole meal is incredibly flavorful, and it's a great option for vegetarians or anyone looking for a lighter meal. I highly recommend it! Wonderful service every time i order“

“I like to go to this mexican / tex mex restaurant. The food is always fresh and they quick on serving your food. Also the flavor of the dishes are really yummy. And the breakfast is a kick to start your day. Specially the torta de milanesa which is my favorite“

“this place is UNREAL. I started coming here a few years ago when I started college over at Middlesex. I’ve since then transferred and graduated and still make the trip out there 2-3 times a month. This is my absolute favorite birria place. i’ve tried 5-6 other places and NONE are as good as this one. This birria has such a unique flavor and you can tell there’s a lot that goes into it. They focus a lot on it since it’s the main menu item. I always get the tacos. the horchata is also incredible and the churros are fantastic. Please NEVER CHANGE THE RECIPE! This is the only good birria spot around!

Dietary restrictions: they’re always happy to make something dairy free for my bf.“
