  1. Very good, cheap, Mexican food. The food here is just as Mexican food should be – prepared fresh, flavorful, and inexpensive.

    No frills about this place, so best to get take-out or delivery if you can.

    And try the smoothies too, they're yummy!

  2. Had the avocado salad with chicken and one pork taco. 4 stars because everything tasted great, but -1 because I felt ill later on – not sure if it was the taco, but I hadn't really eaten anything else that day. Hope it wasn't that because the taco was delicious!

  3. I like this place, but I really wish there were more vegetarian options… last time I ordered a veggie burrito and the filling was literally nothing more than tons of cilantro, iceburg lettuce, and rice. Thats it. However it was very fresh and I tried some of my friends meat filled burrito and it was great. I'll try again and go for a meat option.

  4. They have reopened a few doors down from where they were. This place is great if you are in the mood for authentic Mexican.

    I am happy to be their first customer this time around!

  5. Finally I food authentic mexican food. Montezuma's revenge my first time eating here. Hehehe. I like!

  6. Solid Mexican food, though unspectacular.  Their barbacoa de chivo was tasty, and well seasoned.  I got it on a hurrache, which was nice.  The shell held up upon bending, yet was easy to chew.  The lengua was also good, and served in rather large pieces.

    The only disappointment came with the nopales asados.  There wasn't anything wrong with them, but no seasoning to speak of was kind of disappointing.

    I've not tried any of their specials, but a torta, taco and soda for $5.95 is a heck of a deal.  As is their "family combo" of two whole chickens, tortillas, corn, beans, salad and a 2 liter bottle of soda for $19.95.

  7. Oh man- this place is like la fiesta en mi boca. But don't get any ideas, you're not invited.

    I've only had delivery from this place, but Ive had it dozens of times. Sorry La Fiesta, for being tardy to the party- I should've reviewed you months ago.

    I've had every single taco that they have- the $2 versions.

    The pork one's are my fave- every form of swine that they offer is amazing. The chorizo is salty, but scrumptious. Al pastor is tender and juicy and accompanied with pineapple. The carnitas and the carne enchilada are also very good. I wish I could get a piñata filled with their tacos, and bust it open- now that's my kinda party.

    The guacamole is chunky and pretty good-$5 will get you a decent sized portion and chips.

    They are always super friendly on the phone and repeat the order to make sure that nothing was lost in translation.

    Ask for extra hot sauce, sometimes they skimp…

  8. Holy cow, what a great find in this neighborhood that is, well, lacking in good dining options.  Delicious carnita enchilada, great carne asada and carne enchilada tacos, excellent spicy guacamole with freshly fried chips.  All the of the accompaniments were super fresh.  We had delivery, which came quickly and packed with several containers of salsa, little side salads, lots of utensils…we were very impressed, and after living in this neighborhood for a long time, it's nice to find such a great option.  Highly recommend!
