The Tacos would have been good however I think at the time I went there they must have had a bad batch of cilantro because the cilantro tasted awful, and I normally love cilantro but the flavor of this cilantro was waaaaaay off and tasted terrible, so bad that it ruined the flavor of the taco's it had like a soapy and sweet flavor that overpowered the taste of the tacos. I haven't really experienced this anywhere else but now I know what a bad batch of cilantro can taste like. The cilantro seemed like it was far from organic and was likely grown with all sorts of GMO's and pesticides and maybe the pesticides ruined the flavor of the cilantro. I've heard people in the past say they didn't like the taste of cilantro and that it tastes like soap to them and I damn near get angry about it because of how much I love cilantro but maybe they were just eating cilantro like this in which case I can understand.Also I have to agree with the guy that said something about how miserable the ladies were at the front counter. They seemed genuinely angry and miserable and gave off a real bad vibe.

Food was okay. Just wasn't happy that they forgot to make our food until I asked them where it was. They weren't even busy.

Food was horrible. We ordered nachos, birria plate, and quesadillas. The nachos had a blonde hair on it. Mind you my mom and I both are brunettes as well as my kids. We let them know and they brushed it off. No refund, not even a discount. They asked if we wanted a remake but at that point I was grossed out. Wanted to throw up. Paid almost $60 for crappy food. The dining room was dirty. It's slow so I don't understand why no one could wipe the tables down. First red flag. They were just all gossiping behind the register. I definitely do not recommend this place. So dirty and they don't care about their customers! I tried to take a picture but they kept them lol

You won't be disappointed here if you're looking for good down home Mexican cooking. And you'll be surprised to find it in of all places in a mall! I walked in there tired of shopping and hungry and was greeted by a friendly server who suggested it try their special, bierra. It was like a chile colorado made with beef and cooked in the best blend of chile and other seasonings. I've eaten in numerous Mexican restaurants in CA and Mexico and this was the authentic down home cooking for me. Even the tortillas were homemade. Try it once, you won't be disappointed. I think most of the negative reviews were from when this business was first getting established and the staff was starting to get trained and got overwhelmed by the amount of customers while trying to settle in.

+ husband - one burrito and 5 street style tacos. Carne asada needs work, I wouldn't go back for it. The chicken is OK, but the carnitas, the al pastor and the Chile Verde is ?. The Chile Colorado was sold out, that speaks for itself. The chips were great and the horchata was perfectly smooth but a little light in flavor.Work on the Carne asada and it'll be 5⭐️ easy.Taco truck tacos in the mall, what more can you ask for.

Overall this place is just ok.There were 5 people working there and the 3 Hispanic ladies working there (especially at the front) looked absolutely miserable. Not sure if they just hate their jobs or are generally unhappy people..Regarding the food, I had a Wet burrito and a Quesadilla along with the standard chips and salsa..Now the salsa for the chips and the sauce for the wet burrito were great, loved the flavor ?However, for the nachos they give you this container with enough salsa for 2, maybe 3 chips.. It's tinyThe burrito was pretty good overall, but the quesadilla has me wondering what kind of cheese they use because it tasted horrible.

I asked for a courtesy fork and was told no. They didn't realize my clients just purchased food and need a fork in the food court. Rude

You call this Mexican food, I can cook better Mexican food and I'm not even Mexican lol nasty. What a waste of $45 but it's ok now I know

Absolutely horrible service. Standing at the register to order a side of salsa watching the cook make the tacos as flies are landing on them. Tried getting her attention and asking if she could make some new ones and she begins screaming and me and my husband that nothing was wrong. All the tables had food and flies.

A welcome alternative to the food court! Ordered three tacos, and I was surprised to see the the tortillas for the tacos being cooked in person. The super taco was especially good.Surprised by the quality in the mall!

A very bad experience1 the one who takes the order has a bitter face 2 I asked for a Milanese de Res and what they brought me was a quarter of the Milanese of beef,I do not recommend it because it is not cheap and for them to take an order like this it is not worth it if Val at the mall I recommend eating, Thia Kitchen. There, yes, very good service and very good food
