We had food there tonight that was inedible. The salt level was so high that we would not like a refund... just the food remade. It was not edible. We can return the old food for you to try tomorrow. It is inedible. The tostads, the charro beans. Completely inedible. This is not normal for this location. More

Came for the birria tacos advertised online & on outside of restaurant; however, they didn't have them available. We ordered tripa tacos & received trompo. Hubby just kept them; didn't want to wait more. My order was right & good. Both orders needed more seasoning. Good portions & prices. More

I ordered chicken flautas and as soon as the waitress put them on the table, I smelled a sour odor. Returned them and they made me another order. They had zero flavor. I paid 30 bucks for two meals plus drinks. Worst lunch ever. Never again. Next time On the Grill or Taco Palenque. More

The food was so good! I had the papa asada and it was delicious. A good serving too! The service was excellent, super nice and we had a great conversation. You also get your choice of salsa with the food, ours had 4 choices brought with the food. There wasn't a wait either and the restaurant was spotless!

Nice staff and good food. I went on a cold day though and did have to keep my jacket on which was a bit uncomfortable, not as relaxing as I would have liked. But the food is good and our cashier was very friendly and explained the new promotions well.

I recently visited Antojitos Mexicanos and had the blanditos. They were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend eating them at the restaurant though, as they can get soggy quickly if you take them to go. The flavors were authentic and the atmosphere was welcoming. Will definitely be coming back! More
