Too bad, I was hoping for better! Went there on a Friday night, crazy crowded! The parking lot is small and there was no where to park. Street is full of cars. I had to park across the street in the other shopping center and worry about my car being towed. Food took a while to make for takeout. The prices are very expensive compared to other local options. Portions are not that big. They don’t have beans, and the rice is not mexican style rice; tastes like from a box. The fish tacos were bland. The chips were good, the guacamole was good, but portions were very small for the price. Honestly I may be back someday, maybe not. I will try other places next time.

Los Panchos Taco Shop – Menu with Prices – 5182 Waring Rd, San Diego

So I ordered here tonight from Door Dash, for my birthday dinner, since I’m stuck at home. First the order was mostly correct and delivered quickly. But the problem is I ordered the 3 mini tacos carne asada and pollo, never have I ever had or seen Red (salsa?) On a mini/street tacos, the creamy guacamole looks like runny pea soup, doesn’t taste much like guac either, the rice is an off white color with very little taste at all, the beans were a solid chunk and cold with a small sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and I asked for the pico on the side, it was not it was all over the mini tacos they were soggy, cold and the red sauce just made it very unappealing, and the crunchy chicken tacos were so bland and dry we could barley even eat it!! Never ordering here again!! Very dissatisfied and disappointed, for $45.00 6mini tacos, 2 crunchy tacos and a side of beans & rice, and a little bit of liquid greenish something supposed to be guacamole!! I’ll gladly bring back all the ueaten for my money back!!

Taqueria Miguel – Menu with Prices – 3301 Broadway Ave #4837, West Palm Beach

Ordered 3 carne asada tacos and a large chips & guacamole. Took about 10 minutes. I didn’t mind waiting because that means it was fresh. I asked if the guacamole was fresh from today (before I ordered it) and he went and got the container, looked at it and said yes and even showed it to me. The tacos are good. They put a large amount of onions, cilantro and queso fresco. Their tortillas are interesting. Normally, Mexican tacos are served doubled up (2 tortillas) because of the thinness but theirs are actually thick. No need for two. The guacamole lacked salt but other than that it was delicioussss and I consider myself a sort of “guacamole connoisseur” lol. The worst part is there is no horchata to wash it down. It’s not the same to eat authentic Mexican tacos without horchata (at least for me)! Oh, and their salsa verde is in point!

Antojitos Clemente – Menu with Prices – 210 W 1st St #111, Santa Ana

The staff is very friendly and welcoming – great customer service! I wanted to love this place because the reception was warm and kind and also because I noticed that they aren’t they type to nickle and dime you like other places that charge you extra to use a credit card. The food wasn’t very good. I ordered chicken taquitos with rice and beans. The chicken was dry and bland, it had a mild tomatoe based salsa. It was not hot and spicy as expected from an authentic Mexican eatery. I didn’t receive any side container of salsa which would’ve helped the bland taquitos. I did let them know that I like hot sauce and they said the salsa on and under the taquitos was a mix of red and green salsa but it wasn’t. The rice was not Mexican style. Instead it was a very undercooked rice pilaf with an unpleasant flavor and was the last thing I expected from a Mexican place. The beans tasted a bit like they were slightly burned but the cotija cheese helped cover it up a bit. The prices were reasonable but only if the food would’ve tasted good. I ended up throwing away the rice and beans. I would be willing to go back to give them another chance only because the service was pleasant and that is harder to find these days.

Dos Reales Family Mexican Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 1100 Broadway, Everett

We were staying at the Red Lion, just down the street, so we thought we would try it out. It was ‘muy delicioso’. The owner was very welcoming and offered homemade guacamole to go with our chips and salsa. The guacamole was to die for! I also had a magarita to go with my carnitas. My husband had a combination plate with enchiladas. tamales, and taco. Our dinners were delicious. I love Mexican food so I really judge a restaurant on how well they make their beans. Many places use canned beans and you can tell. These are made from scratch so you can taste the difference. This place is quaint and reasonably priced. We wanted to stop by Sunday for some menudo but alas Sunday is the only day they are closed.

Mimi’s Restaurant Menu with Prices 1400 Ross St, Amarillo

I’ll say from the onset, I’m a gringo…but I love Mexican food a lot. Stumbled upon this place the other night and we were the only ones in the place. Ordering is a bit of a challenge as the menu is all in Spanish with no descriptions or prices. (I figured the prices were pretty cheap, which they were.) We wound up getting beef tacos (crispy shells not available), horchata (think of a long, oval tostada) and cheese enchiladas. My wife said the enchiladas were VERY good. The horchata was BIG and pretty tasty. The “steak” in the tacos was quite bland. There’s a huge selection of traditional Mexican drinks and several popular beers – Mexican and domestic. They don’t have guacamole or the typical “salsa”…just a very spicy green tomatillo dipping sauce. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They’ve been in business for 11 years, so they’re doing something right. There’s also an odd collection of Mexican gifts to be purchased. Overall, it was an interesting dining experience, but I’ll probably not go back. It’s just a bit to “authentic” for my tastes.

Casa Viva Mexican/Seafood – Menu with Prices – 18911 S Tamiami Trail #17, Fort Myers

Went here for dinner on a Saturday night. We came in and sat down and it was at least 10 minutes before we ever even saw an employee. She finally came over and handed us some worn out dirty menus. We ordered guacamole and chips to start. It was a bowl full of some kind of soupy avocado mixture and came with a small amount of chips. It had an odd flavor and was not good. We did not receive any chips and salsa like most Mexican restaurants offer. Two of us had the fish tacos which came with some fried shrimp on the side and French Fries. Not sure why tacos do not come with rice & beans. The “fish taco” was one small piece of fried fish, not even as long as the tortilla, with a little cabbage and a lot of sauce. Not good. The fried shrimp were really just some breading and a tail. The only reason I give them 2 stars is because the prices are low, our beer was cold and my husband had chicken enchiladas that he enjoyed. The service was not good and the place could use a deep cleaning.

Taqueria La Central Mexican Grill – Menu with Prices – 806 E Baseline St, San Bernardino

We have been driving by this place forever ever! It is on the corner all by it’s self small and looks a little lonely. It has dine in take out and a drive-thru. We finally decided to stop in a give them a try. We were greeted with a smile and promptly seated with our menus. They make all of your regular mexican food. Like burritos, enchiladas, tortas, hard shell tacos, soft street tacos, sopes, gorditas, rice, and beans. They also have pizza, wings, hamburgers, fries for those that don’t want mexican food. Now this review is on the Torta and Gorditas we had. The Asada was good and not old. The beans and rice were homemade and tasty. The gorditas were good and homemade. The only thing is all of it lacked a little salt. But nothing I can’t add myself We will return to sample other menu items. I will keep U posted ?

Chumbies Mexican Grill – Menu with Prices – 1130 Broadway, Everett

I have no idea why there is so much hype about this place. The food is nowhere close to being great, it’s good at best. I’ve been here probably 3-4 times now, have ordered multiple different things such as the tacos, burrito, tamals and so on. Today I went in for lunch and ordered a wet burrito with asada to go as well as a pork tamal. The asada in the wet burrito was way too over cooked to the point where it was crunchy and the rest of it was rice and beans and sauce. The pork tamal was pathetic… it was crumbly, dry and flavorless with no meat in it at all, and they’re $2 a piece. Lastly, I can’t say I’ve ever been to a Mexican restaurant that doesn’t have chips and guacamole. Why wouldn’t you have chips and guacamole to order at a Mexican restaurant? It’s absolutely mind boggling to me what exactly people enjoy about this place. I’ve ordered the tacos in the past and they’re boring and not one dish stands out and makes me really want to go out of my way to come back. You can get much better tacos from multiple other Taquerias. The service is also pretty slow, I waited over 20 minutes for a to go order with maybe a couple orders ahead of mine and from the looks of it, all of the food is precooked and ready to serve. Not sure why it takes so long to get, especially something to go. Maybe if I’m in a pinch I’ll come back but likely not, it’s not worth the wait or the money and can cook better Mexican food myself.

Taqueria Chapala – Menu with Prices – 205 S Fresno Ave, Stockton

I’ve been here a few times never had a issue. I only go for the burritos. Sometimes I’ll find a little fat here not a big deal. Today was the last straw. Went to buy dinner 2 tacos of carnitas with rice and beans and 2super burritos with beef Chile colorado. First when I walked in this new young girl never seen there was giving me attitude because she had to do her job. I first asked for carnita taco. She asked me again what kind even after telling her carnita and at the end she gave me the wrong meat. Dont ever get Chile colorado burritos the meat was nothing but fat it was so gross and to top it off it was basically rice and beans. I couldn’t taste the other toppings. My husband said the rice was bland and beans tasted funny. All that food and only got 2 jalapenos wtf. The service sucked and the cook messed up my dinner.

Tres Campanas New Mexican – Menu with Prices – 3136 Cerrillos Rd, Santa Fe

I usually shy away from Mexican restaurants. Even in this part of the country (the SW), they tend to serve the same ol’ thing — tacos, enchiladas, burritos — you know the drill. We stumbled upon this place as it was near the hotel and the building at least had an interesting facade. But, definitely not the same ol’ refried beans. For example, I had tacos with pig brains (tacos de cabeza) and my dad had tacos with toungue (lengua). The cabeza was not bad — a little on the bland side, but the lengua was very good. Beans on the side were very good (beans seem to be the touchstone of quality for me lately) — almost like a soup, and tasty. Overall, a very unique menu backed up by good quality food. Give it a try.

Sabroso Cafe – Menu with Prices – 13121 Harbor Blvd, Garden Grove

You’d think living in Southern California means a bountiful variety of authentic Mexican food on every corner. Unfortunately not. Mexican food in the south land has watered down to cheap imitation. Usually Mexican restaurants throw something with meat, rice, beans and a Pico de Gallo looking medley together in a tortilla (probably flour) and voi la, Mexican food. We’ve really done a disservice to Mexican cuisine here, but unfortunately most people will never know better. Until they visit Sabroso. Sorry, you won’t walk away with 2 tacos rice and beans for $8.99 here but you will walk away with enlightened taste buds. First of all, their corn tortillas. Home made from scratch. You can taste the corn as you bite through fluffy layers of warm, moist tortilla. I’d be willing to bet that a super majority of people of non-Mexican descent have never eaten such a delight. We also ordered their guacamole. The guacamole was pricey, but delicious. It was creamy with cilantro, lime, onion and a hint of tomato. The complimentary chips they serve are delicious too – generously salted and perfectly crispy. Finally, the main event was the chicken pozole. A hearty, hefty bowl arrived on my table with a side platter of fix ins – cabbage, cilantro, onions and limes. The broth was deep red and piping hot. Inside the hominy corn was perfectly tender and nearly melted in my mouth. This bowl, at $12.95 was piled with so much meat the value was incredible. There were mounds of marinated shredded chicken. Served with your choice of corn tortilla or chips, I shoved spoon after spoon, and bite after bite of tortilla laden or chip covered soup in my mouth. I was very pleased with the excellent service by our waitress who was so friendly and prompt. This place is amazing and well worth the price. It’s sad that quality Mexican food is so hard to find in Los Angeles of all places. But I’d gladly drive down to OC to get a taste of this food again. The table next to us got some sort of wet burrito that could easily feed two, perhaps I’ll try it next time.

Laredo Taco Company – Menu with Prices – 1209 Fortress Blvd, Murfreesboro

Was I pleasantly surprised or what… This place was actually pretty good for the price. We got the tacos de bistec and they were nice and flavorful. The steak was seasoned well and the onions that came with it gave it a slight sweetness. Only complaint was that the corn tortillas were a little undercooked so they were a little soggy. It also came with Mexican rice and beans. The beans weren’t anything special but the rice was sooo good. The taste of cumin and tomatoes really work well together for it. If only the rice wasn’t a little mushy, it would’ve been perfection. Still, the flavoring is top notch.
