Family run business, very authentic Mexican restaurant. It's small joint with 5 tables inside. Place smelled like dirty wet mop when I walked in but disappeared pretty soon. No AC, door is opened to cooling down the place. I felt like I'm sitting in the small restaurant in Mexico.
Starts with piping hot nachos with delicious salsa. I ordered various tacos, my favorite was tongue. Very tender and seasoned perfectly. My husband ordered enchilada with mole sauce. Mole sauce was too sweet for my husband but I loved it. I usually don't like Mole sauce but this place makes perfect ones for my taste.
Staffs were very friendly. I saw old grandmother was cooking in the hot kitchen to catch up all the orders, I really appreciated delicious authentic Mexican meal made out from her hand.
Probably I'll do delivers or take out, rather than dine in. If you are looking for authentic Mexican, you should try this place.
If this is authentic Mexican, I think I like the Americanized version better. I had the hibiscus mexican water, pastor tacos, and chicken tacos dorados.
Mexican water was like a light juice, refreshing and slightly sweet.
The pastor tacos were great! But I could've used some more onions and lime. I have a feeling the other taco options are just as good. But my pollo tacos dorados were bland. Kinda looked like a taquito dressed up with some salad. But the chicken was dry and I didn't like it too much.
The salsas provided were interesting. Red salsa had a smokiness to it. The green salsa tastes just like green chutney. The kind of green chutney they serve at Indian restaurants. If I go again, I'm only getting tacos.
The prices here are very good, and the food was solid, not the best Mexican food ever, but good. I did enjoy the chicken quesadilla on flour tortillas. They were three huge pieces, the tortillas were freshly made but a little too doughy for me but had great flavor. I enjoyed them too because they were not that cheesy like you usual quesadillas. One negative was they took a really long time to bring our food, and it wasn't packed at the time.
I'm so happy that I passes by this place because I got lost. What a discovery. We ordered four tacos which was about $9 and you have the option to choose two different types of meats. We went with the pastor and chicken. Although white meat was used for the chicken it was not tough at all, it was chopped up into small pieces to give it that texture and absorb the flavors. The pastor was so tender with juicy bits of pineapple. The tacos were accompanied by a grilled scallion and cactus. The tortillas were non greasy and almost fluffy but still a tortilla and it was really delicious with the fillings. Next, we ordered the mixed alambre for $15. I found out an alambre is fajita with mozzarella cheese melted on top. It came with big butterflied shrimp, beef, chicken and vegetable sauce on a red sauce topped with ooey, gooey mozzarella cheese which you wrapped in their fluffy, non greasy tortilla which I'm 99 percent sure they may actually make in house, I could be wrong. Either way, alambre is a keeper. Lastly, I was already full but we noticed they offered HOrchata and I had to try it. It was the perfect sweet ending to my meal.
What a find. There are at least 3 other area family owned Mexican restaurants in the area that do not live up to this restaurant.
I went for dinner here, not knowing what to expect as many restaurants here offer the cuisine of Puebla, which has now gotten old. The family here is from Oaxaca, which is a nice change, but the cuisine is Mexico City, a refreshing change. Keep in mind that Oaxaca is ground zero for Mexican cuisine, as many tv shows indicate.
I started with a drink called Jamaica (ha-mike-ah) which is boiled down flower petals and is really too tart to drink unless sugar is added. This and other drinks are available as mixes, but it is made fresh here..and not so sweet. I've had it in Mexico and it was too sweet. Very impressive!
I then ordered tongue tacos, a first for me, which tasted like any other grilled meat, but softer, very good then Bistec a la Mexicana for the entree, which is slices of beef sauteed with onions, tomatoes and jalapenos with of course, refried beans and rice. All very good.
Between the smells as soon as you walk in, to the large pots filled with the ingredients for your meal, you will feel like you're in any market or small restaurant in Mexico. Everything on the menu is FRESH and homemade. The restaurant is located on the south side of Rt. 46 across from a small park.
I can't vouch for anything else on the menu, but they have very good tacos. The bistec and al pastor tacos were very tasty and nicely priced at $2-$2.50 a piece. The service was attentive as well. The only thing that I did not like was the salsa they serve with their chips (complimentary), which was the very Americanized tomato salsa that you would buy at a grocery store. The sauces that they served with the tacos were very good though.
