Hey guys, I'm from the hunts point area and love mexican food but this place here has been the worst place I've ever eaten from hands down.. the steak tasted like old socks ( no joke) and the prices are for the rich($) the service felt like old school gangster as they get mad at you for the mistake they make.. I would never ever even drive past this place again. 0 stars

Order 6 tacos, and they overcharge me. Price is ridiculously also not clean, very unsatisfied with they service

My go to spot for years . Love it . ?

I wish I had taken photos but it all smelled so yummy my husband and I just jumped in. I ordered the hard shell shrimp taco with all the toppings (Mexican cheese; the good stuff), El pastor hard shell taco, rice n pinto beans. Both tacos were filled with flavor. The pork was tender and the shrimp well seasoned, the pork tamale (filling was delicious and had a nice spicy kick, corn was slightly dryer than I like), and beef steak burrito. My husband swears by the burrito. He says it has a balanced ratio of meat, rice, and beans. The wrap is covered in cheese. He likes to order two at once cause he likes it so much he knows he’ll want it again the next day ? overall this restaurant is top of my list for the neighborhood. Delivery was quick and we’ll packaged.

5 stars Delicious food. Friendly staff. The food is so good you just can't stop eating it.

The food here is GOOD! I love little local gems ? Just ordered breakfast from here for the first time having only previously ordered dinner from here. The breakfast was just as good. I got the Mexican scramble and my partner got the garden omelette. It was so good I had to leave a review. More often then not you order on door dash and spend so much money for the food to be subpar.

My husband and I went to have lunch. Place is clean and staff is friendly and courteous, but unfortunately all the salsas are flavorless. Tortilla chips were good but the salsa was tomato with water and pieces of onion and cilantro. Honestly an Herdez salsa is 10 times better. Same with our main dish. We ordered enchiladas and the salsa verde didn’t have any taste at all and not even a hint of spicy flavor. How can a place be called “Picante” and not have a decent spicy salsa? This might be ok for some Americans but if you’re a Mexican or Latino looking for authentic flavor and spicy food you better stay away.

Stay away. Very disappointing. The Churros was stale. Hard a a rock. Steak taco had no flavor, very little meat, was more a side salad on a flour tortilla. The guacamole was gray and black old. Just threw it out, did not want to take a chance and try it and get sick. We know times are tough, but don't sell old foods please. People can get sick.

This is a fantastic restaurant. The food is authentic, the people that work there are friendly and nice and the serving sizes are huge! The Molé sauce is really good, especially on the enchiladas and burritos.

Ordered online. Food arrived fast but it lacked flavor. The maduros were good but the beans had no spices or taste to them. The rice was bland, the onions in my bistec were hard….like they weren’t properly cut and only the woody layers of the onion were cooked. My husbands enchiladas were also bland. Such a waste of money for what we received. Will not be ordering again.
