“I like the quesadillas! Been trying different menu items often, always tastes delicious! Definitely a hidden gem.“

“How many LOVE eating a Quesadilla? How about a big fresh great tasting one with lots of meat too? If you want actual good Mexican food and not that taco bell or other fast food junk, then just go to Taqueria Taco Express. They also have some awesome fresh made fruit drinks that are so delicious. Don't forget their deserts!! Be warned their quesadilla is for 2 people. I did half Chicken (Pollo) and half Pork (Al pastor) and yes I have left overs.“

“Great experience at Cocina Latina. I ordered the beef soup and it was absolutely delicious—rich in flavor, well seasoned, and tasted homemade. The ingredients were fresh and the portion was very satisfying. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Definitely a great place for authentic Latin food. I will be coming back!“

“Excelente servicio. Muy amables! Great food! I recommend everyone to give it a try! I really felt at home here thank you for the excellent service and making me feel welcome!“

“Found this place on Google maps and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did this is going to be one of my regular spots from now on. The gorditas were amazing you can tell that they make the corn masa the exterior was very soft and the stews that I tried tasted like abuelita made them. And since it was my first time I also decided to try one of their breakfast burritos and I could easily see myself stopping by here every morning for one it's not one of the giant burritos you get from the taqueria, but it definitely was not a regular sized flour tortilla it's somewhere in between. I ordered it with eggs and chorizo and beans and I feel like it would be perfect for the drive to work. The people that work there make you feel at home they were just so nice. I feel like this is a little Hidden gem if you're reading this and have not tried them definitely make the drive out there and try this place out they are the definition of Mexican comfort food. I know that they make their corn tortillas there and they are a pretty good size and nice and soft add the flour tortilla for the burrito I'm pretty sure was also homemade. I will provide pictures next time that I go.“

“Today was our first time eating here as we were visiting from out of state. Our friends insisted we come here and we are so grateful they brought us to your fine establishment. To say we were blown away is an understatement. Wow! What a beautiful clean amazing restaurant with delicious food and staff that absolutely goes above and beyond. My husband and I cannot wait to come back. Thank you so much! 🤍✝️“

“Ok, so this place is what some might call a “hole in the wall.” Anyone who’s ever eaten at a true hole-in-the-wall knows that’s usually a very good thing.

The food is great.

My wife is Salvadoreña, so I’m probably a little biased about what makes a really good pupusa. Theirs were good, but the filling tasted a little more like it was sitting inside the masa rather than becoming part of one unified bite. They didn’t quite fuse into that soft, balanced texture that a truly great pupusa has. You generally shouldn’t see the filling separating from the masa when you bite into it or “butterfly” it open to add curtido, the lightly pickled Salvadoran cabbage slaw traditionally served with pupusas.

That said, they were still tasty and clearly made with care.

Now let me say this: I tried several different meat preparations there, including shrimp, and every one of them was excellent. I don’t know exactly what marinade or seasoning blend they use, but it is fantastic. This was actually my second visit, and those dishes are what brought me back. The second trip absolutely held up.

My wife and I also ordered the plantains and fried yuca. The Salvadoran crema — a soft, silky cream sauce with a flavor somewhat like cream cheese, but richer and deeper — was excellent with the plantains, though honestly it pairs well with almost everything there.

The prices were reasonable too.

One thing I always look for in a good hole-in-the-wall is whether working-class locals actually eat there regularly. This place passed that test easily. You see young and old customers coming in for lunch breaks, after work dinners, or meals with family and friends. That usually tells you everything you need to know. The food is hearty, flavorful, and clearly supported by a loyal customer base that probably judges it against home cooking.

That’s a very good sign.

Visit this place and bring friends.“

“Dios mio que rico la carne molida con tajadas“

“First time there in which the food was great but it was the attiudes and smiles across the boards that really made this dining experience a wonderful time in which I will be going there more often.“

“The menu says Tacu Tacu con Lomo. This isn’t Tacu Tacu anywhere in the world. Just rice and beans mixed. Never coming back again. Tired of this fake and made up Peruvian cuisine“
