This has become one of my favorite spots for Mexican food. Highly recommended.

The food was good. We ordered the elotes corn dip and chicken enchiladas with red sauce. The pitcher of strawberry margheritas we ordered was also good. The place was busy and a little loud, and I wish their seating didn't feel as crowded. But over all it was good.

Never again!!! The queso dip was super thick as you can see in the photo, couldn’t even try to dip a chip in it without it breaking even after I warmed it up. For $17 this could’ve been way better!! The steak burrito needed some sauce, and there was barely any guacamole on it. My sister had the tostados, also a hard NO, they didn’t taste like anything. The food should come with sauces on the side and limes to doctor it up.

El Purepecha is my go-to Mexican restaurant for delivery. I get delivery because it's hard to get down to where they are located. I would love to visit sometime soon though! I'm absolutely blown away by the flavor and construction of their meals. The wings are out of this world. You can tell that the food is made with passion. You won't be disappointed.

Stopped by for happy hour on a Friday. Great inexpensive tacos, a friendly bartender with vibrant hair, clean cool establishment. Recommend the Tinga taco and asking for their red hot sauce.

I ordered chips and guac and some tacos for take out, but when I got to my hotel, I realized that the hostess didn't give me any chips. I went back to the restaurant, and the hostess told me that she heard me say I wanted a guac but not chips. I asked her if the chips were an additional cost, and she said, "Yes, they're $3.00, but I don't know if I can get some for you because the kitchen might be closed." She then disappeared for a full two minutes, and when she came back, she said "Your total will be $4.86." I was confused and asked her, "Did the price jump up by a dollar fifty while you were back there?" She responded, "No, I just forgot that they're $4.50." So I paid an ADDITIONAL $4.50 after an extremely expensive and mediocre guac.

I had a hard time understanding why they didn't put chips and salsa on the table. I was expecting it to be complementary, but it wasn't => disappointing. That being what it was the food was SOOO good.

?Grilled Chicken Sopes $12Below is a pancake made of thick corn flour. The texture is very different from taco. This one has no corn flour aroma and is white.Topped with refried beans, lettuce, yogurt, chicken, and cheese.It tastes good but has a Taiwanese vegetarian bean flavor.So although it’s quite exquisite and delicious, I don’t really like it..Inexpensive and good service??Although my own ramen is not my favorite, it actually tastes good. My friend’s ramen is also quite delicious.Recommendable!

Nice spot for happy hour and also a night out. Though the food is a Mexican vibe, do not expect your hometown delicious Mexican prices. I've gotten a few items here, and they are better then most Mexican places in the city.

This place was great!!! The waiter was great (I can’t remember his name, but he had a tattoo on his arm and he looked like he could be Spanish/Asian) the food portions were enormous and tasted amazing. The specialty drinks were top notch as well!
