Long but HONEST review.Came in tonight and ordered each an Enchilada and Mole plate, queso, and a slice of cheesecake.I ordered ahead by calling in. I was immediately placed on hold without getting to say hello, which I can understand some, since when I got there it seemed busy.After arriving when I was asked to, I couldn't decide whether or not to take the drive-thru. I was confused because it seemed like more of a sit-down restaurant based on most of the review photos. I decided to go inside.It feels like a remodeled early 2000s Wendy's.When I went to the counter and confirmed my order, I asked what the largest sized T shirt they had was. They had no long sleeves, so I asked about the short sleeves.I was told the largest one they got sent was a few XLs from the company for employees, and what they had left was from passing them out to the crew--which I find really odd, because if they're selling T shirts in store with a posted sale sign, I don't expect said shirts to be leftovers from what ever the crew didn't take to wear.I paid $36 and some change and I'll be honest, I've had better Mexican food from taco bell.It was by far the most disappointing meal I've had in a while.The beans on both plates were runny and wet. It's a miracle the bags the take out trays come in are wax lined, because the bag was FULL of bean water. Aside from the wetness, the beans had a bit of saltiness to them and were the best part of the plate itself.The rice was overcooked and fell into tiny mushy crumbs. It had no flavor. Finding a couple peas/corn here and there made it seem like they weren't actually supposed to be inside the rice and somehow managed to make it there.I wasn't a fan of this restaurant's mole sauce either. I'll admit I have not had many moles, and don't want to pass too much judgement on it specifically, but to me it was quite acidic and tasted heavily of cinnamon. It reminded me more of a sweet and sour chinese sauce than other moles I've had in the past.The queso was super good. Decent flavor, was nice and smooth. Was definitely the highlight of the entire meal overall.We did not get chips there, so I can't review them.The slice of cheesecake was not too great. Nothing special at all. It was oddly runny, and seemed to be set in only -some- places. Either like it wasn't mixed well enough, or was sitting out while my order was being made.It tasted a bit like the Philadelphia no bake cheesecake tub but with more cream cheese. The oreos added nothing at all to the cake itself.Overall, I won't be returning to this restaurant. It was not worth the near $40 I paid for it when I could have went somewhere closer for cheaper and better. The reviews are really misleading, I'm not sure how this restaurant has a 4.6 star.They should focus on being either a drive thru only or a sit down only. It seems too busy and too disorganized to run both at the same time.

No breakfast burritos (huh?), but there’s another burrito drive through right next door if the passenger in your car wants a breakfast burrito. Asada and barbacoa are so good!

If you love tacos, this is your place! They serve some of the best around the city. The fish tacos are my favorite, so fresh tasting! The carne asada tacos are my husbands favorite. Guacamole and queso are on point as well. If you like enchilada sauce that’s on the sweet side, you’ll love these. I don’t care for the sweet flavor. Order at the counter and they bring the food to your table or they have a convenient drive through.

My favorite place to get lengua, haven’t had better yet. Best burritos, nachos, and tacos, so so good, plus they have a drive through so we can stay in our sweatpants and still have a delicious dinner!

This joint definitely has some of the better tacos I've eaten in the area. Their Al Pastor is flavorful without being a gut wrecker, and all the details are in place down to the thinly sliced wedge of pineapple for it. I also enjoyed the Asada tacos. They have 4-5 salsas, which vary in spiciness. The lower end avocado salsa has good flavor and is as mild as they come. Some of the spicier variety have enough spice that they'll burn you twice! ???Others at my table raved about the salmon tacos, nachos, and mole. This is definitely a place I'll visit again.

The first time I ordered she didn't understand and gave me the wrong meal. So my husband and I went back to get my meal fixed. They were able to fix it and didn't charge us a dime. Very happy with our experience.

Went thru the drive thru on my way home from work. It little later, close to closing time. Ordered a burrito and received the meal without second thought. Made it home to find a tortilla wrapped and filled with only Pineapple? Glad I just spent $12 for that!

One of my top taco spots in town. Tamales are great too - especially the pork. I always get a pineapple agua fresca

Our food was done thru the drive thru and we love this place and it’s a 20min drive for us! We ordered our favorite and did a nice tip.. they confirmed everything was there since I had my hands full. When I got home we were missing the chips and salsa, and the tamales looked so bad.. I get better ones at the Walmart parking lot.. very disappointed!

Ordered nachos al pastor - tried to check to make sure my order was right in the drive through and was told by the attendant "everything is fine with your order, can you please pull through" - a little annoying but whatever. Drove all the way home, sat down to eat, and the order was wrong - no al pastor (which I paid almost $5 extra for). Restaurant was already closed by that point so I couldn't take it back. It would be one thing if this was the first time, but this is the third time something like this has happened in their drive through (which is why I made a point to try and check). I really wanted to like this place, but I give up. If you are going to go here, make sure you double check your order, and don't let them try to rush you through the window while you check.
