Best tacos on the Westside, hands down. This place is authentic and delicious. The people who gave it poor reviews are looking for Cancun. My kids devour their carnitas tacos, every time we try something new it's on point. Their caldos are incredible. I have three kids and they all had adult entrees, as well as my husband and myself . . . and our bill came to 52. With plenty of leftovers. Yes your server may not speak English. But the menu is easy and they are patient. Highly recommend.

Yuk!! The tamales were so dry and hard that they were inedible. My hubby's chicken mole dish tasted burnt and was served with old rice. My soup was tasteless and had two shrimp and 3 pieces of plantains. With so many other options for Mexican and Central American food, GO ANYWHERE ELSE.

Summary: authentic mom and pop Mexican food on the west sideWhen reviewing eateries, context is key.This is not a Michelin restaurant, not does it have tablecloths or fancy art or anything over the top. The beauty of this restaurant is its authenticity. This is real, home made Mexican food.I ordered the chicken mole. It’s tough to find good mole around here. A lot of the chain-like restaurants serve their mole too sweet and not enough of the earthy goodness found in a true traditional mole.San Luis Grill nailed it. It was one of the best mole dishes I’ve ever had!The atmosphere is mom and pop. There is a small grocer attached next door (through which you enter and exit). It’s very clean and well lit.We enjoyed our dishes with some varieties of Mexican made beer (Corona for myself, Modelo for my buddy).This is a great haunt for those lovers of authentic and delicious Mexican food. Knowing some espanol is helpful but not necessary. If you only speak English, just be patient and kind to any staff.

So today my mom and I went to get lunch here to try it out. We arrived around 12pm and we were waiting for at least 5 mins and there weren't any customers. There was one woman who was grabbing ice but had her coat and hoodie up and weren’t sure they were open. We nicely asked if they were open. She said in Spanish, "yea". That's it. So we sat down and waited a couple more minutes to be served. She never greeted or said anything and just stood there so we said our order and immediately felt like we were bothering her. Then another worker came around and they both were just talking and she was on her phone. We heard talking about what we had ordered but didn't hear exactly what was said. It was just quiet and awkward there. I went to the restroom and there was dead ROACH in the restroom. I wish I would've taken my phone but I wish I would’ve gone back to take a pic. We thought maybe the food would be okay.... It got worse because a few more minutes went by and the server got on a phone call on LOUD SPEAKER!!! She continued to talk on the phone on loud speaker the entire time, EVEN while SHE CAME TO GIVE US OUR FOOD. We never saw her wash her hands in between using her phone and handing our food. We were so SHOCKED because We couldn’t imagine the amounts of germs and bacteria on her phone. Like it takes 20 secs to wash hands… We could still hear her entire phone conversations the entire time which just made us uncomfortable. The food was okay maybe like a 4/10 but it wasn't to die for. We both got the seafood soup. Everything was just MEH. The vibes were just weird and the server was not nice whatsoever.

What a gem! I came from L.A and was missing true Mexican food and this place has it for sure. Home made horchata, delicious tortas, and kind employees. Pretty busy around noon when I went. The caldo de mariscos looked and smelled AMAZING! I will be back to try that next! They even have drink options. Store on the other side so you can buy all your sauces, spices, and everything in between. Don’t knock it till you try it.

No es justo que vendan la carne toda seca vengo de comprar hoy tacos de carne asada y todos vienen con la carne seca y dura no se pueden ni comer!!!
This place is very unsanitary. High prices for cheap quality food. It’s not even authentic or handmade. The drinks are artificial and they were really bad at attending people. They also mess up your order and almost made us pay more than we were supposed to. They aren’t professional and the food tasted DISGUSTING. Never come here it’s a waste of money and time. All the good reviews are lying to you. I am very honest about all the reviews I post and this place by far has been the worst Mexican restaurant I ever been to. I wish I could rate 0 stars.

Having just moved from TEXAS I have been looking for a place that will remind me of home. The hospitality, the service, the price, and the food were all great. Everything about this place makes me want to come back regularly. It's a must try if you're looking for something authentic and different from the fast food places.

They messed my order up so when i called to let them know they were rude the tamales dry rice bland ,steak tacos meh the torta cubana was good though

The only reason it gets 2 stars is cause of the horchata. The tacos were not good at all. They werent warm like they had just been cooked. They had no taste to them. I wouldnt recommend. Ive had my share of mexican food and i don't like this place.

The waitress was very friendly and really tried to accomodate as much as possible...however the cost was rather expensive and for the price less than satisfactory. I was shocked at the outrageous cost and was just overall not impressed. Would not recommend
Very good prices
