I’ve given this restaurant ample opportunity to prove it’s worth, I will no longer give them my business. We decided on this place for dinner as it was later in the evening (the kitchen at La Tienda Restaurant on Main was closed), I was hesitant because there have been a couple times before where our order was wrong or the quality of the food was simply mediocre, but thought I could have a better experience. My husband and I decided on sharing the molcajete (pictured), it was disappointing, not only the presentation but the flavor. It was a mashup of what I can only assume was all of the described ingredients topped with a jalapeño and the cactus draped along the molcajete. Our server was ok, she wasn’t rude but not friendly either, we tipped her because she did follow up on drinks. I doubt losing my business will make a difference as the store is well stocked, and this business is well liked by more people than not but I wanted to say my piece. I didn’t talk to Sophia personally that day because the storefront was really busy.

Awesome food with huge portions different combinations and options to choose from, pork, chicken, beef, seafood, made in just about any way you can think of. Burritos, fajitas, quesadilla, enchiladas, tamales, chimichangas, tostadas, rice, etc.

The presentation of the food gorgeous! The food was flavorful and amazing. All the worker are kind and they frequently ask how you are doing. The food came out fast as well (under 20 minutes). The only downside was that the rice didn’t have that much flavor. Otherwise everything about this place is amazing and if you’re looking for somewhere where it’s not too expensive and have amazing food definitely come here.

TheynHave a nice restaurant in the back. It’s a full mexican menu and a nice place to sit and eat. I love the fact that there’s a store as well that sells products from latin america. Nice place.

Wasn’t my cup of tea personally, but my husband enjoyed it. The portion sizes compared to other restaurants is really small. Their hot sauce is nice and spicy though. There’s also no parking for the restaurant and it’s entrance is behind the building the store is in.

Great food and prompt service. The young man that takes our orders knows what we want as soon as we walk in and food comes out quickly and is delicious every time. Try the Guadalajara Special, you’ll thank me later.
