I lived in Southern California that has really good Mexican food. Currently live in Florida and had dinner when I was visiting this area. It was around 5:00pm and there was hardly any cars in front. Had the best taco in my life here. They had a nice portion of Guac and the Salsa and Chips were excellent. I would be a regular if it was near my home. By around 6:00pm, people started entering the place. Friendly staff too.
This Mexican place is sleeper hit. Hubert was an excellent waiter. Very tentative and helpful. The decor is top notch. It really adds to the atmosphere. And sets the mood. The Mexican nachos, cancoon special and Mexican flag special is excellent. Flavors are so good. Better than some Mexican restaurants in SoCal. The pollo mango was completely finished by a friend who said "I'm not even hungry". Yeah, he even finished his food.
My cousin and aunt rave about this place and brought me here for lunch. Oooo it's good. I like the interior of this restaurant. Festive decor and friendly staff. Nice clean bathroom. We were promptly greeted and given lunch and specials menus. The menu is enormous and plenty of choices for any palate. I found what I wanted, bean tostadas and cheese enchiladas. I love the finely shredded white cheese they sprinkled on top of the bean tostadas. I got the Vegetarian C plate which was $10.99. I admit I was not too crazy about the cheese enchilada but it was OK. I was pleased that the server allowed me to get another bean tostada in place of the bean burrito. We shared a bowl of white queso dip yummmmmm! Hot gooey deliciousness. It was a very generous serving and we took some of it home. Cousin got the Burrito Tapatio holy cow it is the biggest burrito ever!!!! There should be a warning on the menu to let customers know it is the size of your head. Seriously. It is enough for at least three meals. My aunt got some corn tacos which she enjoyed. Very reasonably priced and a tasty meal, great service.
