So crazy happy I came here! A couple of friends recommended the store and mentioned there is a restaurant adjacent to the store. I was craving tacos today and decided to give this place a try as it is fairly close to work. I asked for the chicken taco lunch special and ordered an extra Chorizo Taco because only two tacos come in the lunch special. All other Mexican restaurants that I've been to have tiny portion tacos, so I prepared by ordering the third. Ummm...the Tacos are HUGE!!!

My friend got 3 tacos, said 2 of the 3 were good the asada wasn't great, not bad, just not great. Chips and salsa a plus,...
Read moreOh well, we rarely go to Mexican restaurants for obvious reasons (we are always disappointed of their food, more like texmex) but we went there with a friend and the food was OK until They have cheese quesadilla, it is funny because quesadillas already has the word cheese in it (quesa = queso = cheese). There is no such thing as steak quesadilla or similar. That would be a taco. (Mexico city does weird things, so no, quesadilla is cheese only, period). They served a quesadilla with yellow cheese (colby probably? there is no such thing as four cheese, or Mexican cheese if it is yellow) and sour cream, that is the MOST UNMEXICAN thing to do!!!
