“An unassuming restaurant with authentic, flavorful Mexican dishes which you will savor for it's true taste and quality. The reasonable prices make it worth the visit. A small interior brings an intimate experience, both relaxing and totally enjoyable. The service is direct, friendly, and attentive. Take out is prevalent but eating there is so relaxing and pressure free.“
“A bit of a drive for me, but well worth it. The food was good, drinks were flowing. The restaurant was nicely decorated inside. Bathrooms were clean (always a plus). Waitstaff was pleasant. Order the Brisas Old Fasioned for the tableside presentation. Tacos pescado were crispy and flaky, pickled onions added the perfect amout of acid. Using plantains as the "bun" for the juicy beef sliders was a unique take on a pub favorite. Chips and quac didn't disappoint. Will visit again. Well worth the hour long drive in the cold rain.Parking: More spaces on the side and behind the restaurant.“
“Decided to check out this outstanding restaurant at the suggestion of a friend. You enter and admire the exciting decor of the establishment and treated very warmly by the attentive staff. I noticed the bartender making an unusual looking drink, and asked our server about it, needless to say I ordered the margarita with mango drink. We ordered guacamole, which was one of the best prepared we've had in a long time. I ordered the chicken with mushroom sauce, which came with a side of mashed potatoes - simply delicious! Can't wait to return. Thank you for a most enjoyable dining experience.“

“Amazing experience at this taco truck!The personnel were very friendly and helpful. They definitely know how to cook too!My fiancée’s tacos were amazing and so was my birria torta.We love places that offer a topping bar.Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay are accepted.There are two tables at this place but you might as well eat in your car just in case you come at peak hours.Taco Trucks like these are often a hidden gem, offering a much better flavorful experience for less money than a traditional Mexican restaurant.The only con of this food truck, like many other food trucks, is that there’s no customer bathroom.“
“Our new fav spot for authentic Mexican food. Loved their street tacos and Quesadillas! Unique spot with colorful to the point menus for specific items. You’ll place order and wait in the car and they will bring out to you! Very polite and friendly staff! They get a 10-star for their reasonable pricing. Will return with friends and family!“
“Had this delivered so cannot rate the place (have stopped in & was very clean & quiet nice place to eat away from the noise) but as for the food, it’s FREAKN delicious. Have tried the chicken & steak burritos. Good flavor. Tasty. More like authentic Mexican. Not Tex-Mex. Nachos are yummy too. Won’t disappoint at all!! Just a bit pricey but what isn’t nowadays. Highly reco!!!!“
“What a treat! I joined some friends for her birthday dinner, (one being the artist for the new murals… amazing!) and left feeling like I cannot wait to go back for more.The Carne Asada was delicious. It was cooked exactly as I had asked . The portion was large enough to bring some home, which I did my son was able to enjoy trying it as well.Everything was 5 stars, from the guacamole to the Mojitos!If you’re celebrating a birthday, I would definitely recommend coming here because many of the places that I go to offer the shots with the flames but here they added bubbles and that just made it so much more fun! We all had such a great time.“
“First timer, got take-out taking a chance. Very surprised. Carnitas burrito is really good. Compared to Chipotle, there really is no comparison. Chipotle tastes like drugs whereas this also tastes like drugs but primo Mexican drugs, no fancy business more like Mexican street food. Really good work. I think the only real con is it's too oily but again, that's not a bad thing unless you have preexisting health conditions. Beware the orange sauce. It's spicier than you'd expect and I love that. Is there a 4.5? 5 is too much but 4 is too little. Settling on 4 because it could be even better.Edit: I use "drugs" colloquially. If you need specifics, how I use the word drugs is a combination of savory, salty and umami with a little sweet and sour to balance it all out.“
“the food was muy delicioso and the waiter was perfecto! chips arrive with warm refried beans, which is a unique and nice touch, along with a nice salsa. Portions are large, drinks were refreshing, and I felt like I'd left Bethel and took a mini vacation to Mexico (ojalá!). this was my 1st time eating here but not my last!“
“Food was great, waitstaff very polite and friendly. The only downer were the bench seats in the booths. The vinyl was peeling off the upholstery, and it doesn't look very presentable. I hope the owner has it in the plans to replace in the very near future.“
“This is a really great Mexican restaurant. Prices have gone up a little and the menu has changed, but overall they're still very good. They're churrasco is top-notch. And there's salsa is so addicting, those sometimes they add a little too much pepper.“
“This is the best Mexican restaurant in town. The food is delicious, authentic, and so flavorful. Generous portions and courteous staff. Highly recommend anything with steak, quesadillas, fajitas, and nachos. The salsa is phenomenal. The margaritas are good too!“
