I was in the mood for enchiladas but I picked the wrong day for that when I visited for the first time at The Whole Enchilada. It was taco Tuesday and the green menu was my only options. The service was great from the moment I walked in. The woman who greeted me was so nice and pleasant. The place wasn't empty. Hard to tell from the outside. Everything was clean and folks looked to be enjoying themselves. I ordered carne asada tacos. Plain because I'm not a fan of fresh onions or cilantro. She gave me a couple tiny plastic containers to get sauce from the front and they were delicious and flavorful. She brought me the menu for all the other days. Recommended the sirloin tacos next time stating a different cut of meat than what I had. Asked if I liked seafood because she said the ceviche was great. Not a fan but I have family that love it. Note: if you do order tacos on a Tuesday, you get 4 but they have to be the same. I'll return because the carne asada was nice and tender and I still want enchiladas.

If you are against having flavor in your food this is the place for you. It was clean the service was friendly enough but the food was expensive for the generic quality. If you are only eating with your eyes it was a home run, if they would have had salt and pepper on the table it would have been more palatable.

The food was good, I had the enchilada suizas, which were a bit sour. I think the tomatillo may have been overcooked. Beans and rice were the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Waitress was nice and accommodating. Restaurant was way too quiet, needed music. Overall, it was a good experience!

I ordered Enchilada Suizas (chicken), and it was good. The service was champ!
My wife and I love this place. We've been customers for several years now, and we always get the enchiladas michoacanas and the mulitas tacos. There's a lot of stuff on the menu, but those are so good it's hard to try something else. Service is always friendly.

First time there. Very friendly staff. Fresh hot food with very little wait time. I enjoyed the Fish Tacos here better than where I've been getting them.

Great real MEXICAN food. I like both New Mexican and Mexican food. They are two different things. So glad we found this place. Sometimes it's hard to find good Mexican here. But The Whole Enchilada has it. I didn't get her name but our waitress was a very pleasant and helpful young lady.
Wow! This is some of the hottest, spiciest salsa this gringa has ever attempted to taste. Thankfully I also got some queso to cleanse my burning pallet. The chips were freshly homemade. The sweet tea helped. I ordered the veggie fajitas. Well, my fajitas arrived. The mushrooms and yellow peppers were grilled fine, but the green peppers and onions were more raw than cooked. It was inconsistent. The rice with carrots and peas was tasty. The tortillas were very hot, wrapped in foil, but very bland. My server was very attentive and friendly, refilling my sweet iced tea. It was a Friday night and the place filled up fast. There was a large celebration out on the patio. In the front window was large post that they back in 2023 applied for a liquor license. My guess is that it has not been approved yet. I wish them success. They had tons of enchiladas combinations. Maybe next time. Warning: When I got my debit card back with my receipt, at the very bottom it stated that "there is a 3.5% card charge"! That was a surprise! Beware of this charge!

We ordered Birria tacos and a chicken cheese enchilada. they Birthday was delicious with raw onion, cilantro and incredible dipping sauce ! I love their beans. creamy and so. yummy. The dipping sauces are both hot and addictive! Hubby's enchilada was incredible. So many layers of flavors. we can't wait yo go back!

Excellent food and service. After my meal (I had the shrimp tacos) the hostess was kind enough to let me sample the cafe olla. I am a coffee lover, this little taste will have me returning. I'm a fan!

The seared Ahi was out of this world. I am an avid traveler across the United States,San Diego, California to Pennsylvania and back every year. I often order seared Ahi as it is one of my favorites. I never, ever, expected how amazing it tasted! It had an amazing, flavorful crust with sesame seeds, perfectly seared.I am going back before I move on and order more.
