I had high hopes for this place after reading reviews. Absolutely not! They charged $6.50 for a small cup of sour cream. I was already in disbelief the fajitas did not come with it nor cheese. The small scoop of cheese was $3. An extra $10 for toppings is insane. Service horrible. The server said they were the manager and it took them 10 minutes to bring a cup of water. The food was mediocre at best. Cold chips, over cooked food, and horrible service. Do yourself a favor and find another place to visit!

This damn food was so good, I had to write this review from the table. An awesome authentic experience!!! Visiting from Atlanta and my wife and I picked this spot from the airport and what an immediate find!!!

What was once a "great find" for basic Mexican fare at a reasonable price has dramatically changed to "go elsewhere". Service is still great and prices have not gone through the roof like most restaurants, but still noisy and food quality is poor. Even the chips and basic salsa were terrible. There was something stringy in the salsa that made it inedible. Like Mexican food? Go elsewhere!

The food is great and authentic if you know what to ask for (e.g. they make homemade tortillas and will serve you salsa — but only if you ask for it). Recommend their breakfasts and tamales.

The food was really good my wife loved the tamales and was suprised that a place so little had such good food and right outside or our doorstep she’ll definitely be coming back. I loved my burrito it was perfect and the service was fast clean and friendly. Highly recommend

I went to eat with my mom and family, they don't know that food is useless apart from the fact that I ordered birria tacos and it turns out that they don't give you the consommé, you have to buy it separately and it costs 3 dollars ??? and nothing good by the way and my mom and family ordered fried fish that same day they got a stomachache and they did it ? vomiting people is no good but they go at their own risk ⚠️

I saw many very good comments about this restaurant, I decided to go with my family. What I can say about this place is the following, we ordered fajita and the truth is, the amount of meat they give is very little, also the sap was strange, as if reheated, and the vegetables were almost burnt. It didn't have any seasoning, very tasteless from one to 10, I would give them a 3. I think the people who cook there have no idea how to prepare a fajita and they still charge you the 18% tip on your check. Have a shame, first learn to cook and when So learn if you can put the tip on the check as long as you don't make a fool of yourself.

I 100% recommend this Mexican restaurant! I have never seen so many options of Birria on the menu. I really had no idea what to choose but my friend and I went for the Birria Burrito. It was so so good! The people working there were very very nice and accommodating. If you’re in the area this is a great option. The tables were also beautiful.

I think they changed their salsa... and not for the better. I don't like it, it's very sweet and no heat. And.... no tacos. I know Mexican food is more than tacos... but everyone loves a good taco!

This is the best Mexican restaurant I’ve tried in Arlington. Their tamales are spectacular. Fajitas are also great for a lighter meal.
