Best KPortal Reviews

Excellent authentic Mexican Cuisine. Loved my Fajitas and the wife loved her Enchiladas. Salsa was good. Chips so so. Rice and beans very good. Beer was warm, bummer. Reasonably priced. Disappointed that we had to pay extra for the chips and salsa.
First time stopping in for lunch & we absolutely LOVED this cute little Mexican spot! The staff is attentive, place is clean and it definitely gives a Mexican vibe! They start you off with some homemade tortilla chips & 2 dips, my husband and I loved them! I had an Horchata & it was quite tasty. We enjoyed our entrees, the service… we will definitely be returning. It was easy to find parking, we were sat within a minute or two of entering the establishment. We have no complaints. I took a couple of photos, loved the decor and it just made me smile to look around & see their Mexican decor. The portions are a nice filling size! Felt the need to mention that.
Very friendly, fresh made food, all delicious and tasty Michelada
Easily the best Mexican food I've found in the area. I both eat in and get takeout fairly regularly. The main restaurant area is cheerful, and cozy without being small. They have a separate entrance for takeout orders, which is convenient and helps preserve the ambiance while dining in.
My personal favorite order is probably the burrito loco, but everything I've tried has been good.
Overall a good experience. Great staff, delicious food. Nothing really stuck out to me regarding the Mexican food- the pastor tacos were juicy and seasoned well but just marinated cubes(not the style where they carve it off the roaster) and they don’t serve complimentary chips with salsa (other places do. I thought they did years ago)
Solid seafood caldo as well- $23 and very filling. My mom was delighted to see the imitation crab meat (an Asian staple) in her soup, along with real clams, fish, etc
Authentic Mexican cuisine and the margaritas are fantastic! This is a great place to grab a bunch of tacos and head over to the party. You can get three tacos for nine dollars and they are always a hit. I especially enjoy the chorizo tacos, the flank steak tacos, and the spicy pork tacos. You cannot beat the quality, authenticity, and price. Highly recommend!
Generally speaking, this is definitely an authentic Mexican cuisine restaurant, although I’ve realized over the years I’ve been going; there are a few things on the menu not worth paying attention to due to their own lack of resources for whatever reason. One thing particularly is the “steak fajitas” for some reason they used ground beef??? But the chicken fajitas are to die for. Honestly, anything that is cooked with chicken seems to be great in this restaurant. My favorite and go-to dish is the Chicken Tacos. The salsa and guacamole are above average and the tortilla chips are decent but cooked a little too crispy. The verde salsa is phenomenal along with their hotter red salsa.
Disclaimer : the bartenders make strong drinks here.
The service lacks a little bit sometimes because of the language barrier unless you speak Spanish, and when the place is packed sometimes. I’ve learned of the years though that the bartender/server girls are very nice nonetheless.
This is one of the better Mexican restaurants I’ve been to, and definitely among the best in the chicken taco category. I give them a solid 4 with roof for improvement to become a 5.
Avoid this place at all costs! I would leave zero stars if I could. I was sitting at the bar with my friend and we could not hear each other because the music was too loud. Everyone was complaining about the same thing because the noise was unbearable. I asked the bartender several times to speak to the owner about turning it down but he refused each time. He is rude and he does not care about his customers. We had the food packed and we left. By the way, the food was awful.
