“Be forewarned they are almost always packed and overflowing with customers. So be prepared to wait. They are one of the better Mexican restaurants in terms of flavor. I am a chilaquiles aficionado and they have excellent chilaquiles. One of the best menu options they have is the fajita a la Mexicana. However I never recommend ordering from them, to go. As the chilaquiles were significantly lacking in sauce and cheese in comparison to the ones served in restaurant. It was mostly just dry plain tortillas not even fried properly. Also the fajita a la Mexicana was drastically smaller in portion as well versus the one they serve as a dine in. I feel like mathematically the portions are over 1/2 smaller.“

“The waiter Huber basically told us what not to order. NOTE When you come to this location bring your own silverware, we had to share a knife among 3 people. The enchiladas & steak, more like a slice of brisket drenched in a salty cheese sauce. Awful!! The beef enchilada, unflavored ground meat, again drenched in a red sauce WITH cheese. Cancun tilapia again with cheese and 8 tiny cocktail shrimp - no garlic sauce The plate was hot but not the food. At 8ish on a saturday night they only had 3 or 4 tables, no more than 12 people, including us 3 If they were starting to close for the day, they should've close the area they were cleaning. I don't appreciate smelling 'Fabuloso" while I'm eating with the mop bucket next to my table. Really your motto should be "Why are you still in business..." Marked as 1st and last on places not to visit. Overpriced for the food quality“
