Great place to bring the girl. Accommodated our gluten free vegan diet. Delicious veggie fajitas and guacamole and chips! Service was fantastic! Music was an authentic vibe as well.

It's a restaurant in a strip mall that could use a little interior updating but it was clean, service was friendly and quick and the food was tasty. We had the Birria tacos and Tres Amigo enchiladas with carnitas and both were really good. Meat was seasoned really well and a lot of it in both entrees. The consommé had an interesting flavor. I liked it, just different than what I'm used to. Rice and beans were your standard but they were nice and hot. We'll definitely be back.

I really enjoyed the Chillaquiles with green sauce. I got the beef, but I'd probably do the chicken next time. Guacamole was good. Fun atmosphere inside, service was excellent. The best part was that the food came in Molcajetes that while not stone, were actual clay, and not the crummy plastic that you get at some places. It's the little things.

There are 2 very different ratings going into this. The food gets a solid 5 stars. It was SOO good! The service was a solid 2 stars. We went on black Friday around 2pm. There were a few other tables (maybe 2) but the servers were continuously standing at the bar talking. We had ordered a 2nd round of margaritas and the server basically forgot about it and was just standing at the bar talking with her coworkers. I ordered the Alambre on a whim and it was the best decision I have never ordered it before but it was so perfect and delicious! I totally excuse the lack of service because the food is that good.

This casual restaurant in a strip mall brings a little bit of Mexico to Richfield. The layout is pretty open, which allows diners to see across the entire restaurant, which includes a bar, a corner for performances, and an elevated waiting area. Both times I've gone, there have been several Mexican families and groups eating there, which is always a good sign. The menu is pretty standard for Mexican in Minnesota - tacos, burritos, enchiladas, chilaquiles, and tortas along with more traditional dishes like molcajetes. They also have fusion options like asada fries and Tex Mex tacos (served Taco Bell-style with lettuce, cheese and pico de gallo instead of the traditional onions and cilantro.) I ordered an elote, an al pastor taco and a lengua taco. Both meats were seasoned well and very tender. The al pastor wasn't as sweet as I've had at other restaurants, but was still very tasty. The elote had good flavor, though it could have used more chili powder and I personally prefer roasted corn to boiled. The most disappointing part of the meal was the chips and salsa - both salsas were pretty bland and watery and one had an offputting sourness. Yes, they were free, but better salsas would also have been great for the tacos. The restaurant can accommodate small and large groups, though service at times can be a little slow and mixed up - another table's food was brought to ours soon after we sat down. And we had to flag down someone to refill water and get help with the check. Overall, a pleasant and reasonably priced place for a filling meal. Not a lot of frills, but you don't pay for them either. Tips: the bills have a QR code printed on them, and they ask diners to pay online that way. But, if you have problems doing that, they can bring a credit card machine to your table. And, lively Mexican music is played throughout the restaurant, so not the place for a quiet conversation.

Mr Jose welcomed us in with a suave smile and great welcome. The vibe of the restaurant is Mexican realness with his dashing accent to enhance the atmosphere. He brought waters to the table some chips with a tomato salsa and a chipotle ranch? For the entrees I ordered the birria tacos and my party had shrimp tacos and a Mexican Torta. The shrimp tacos & Torta were amazing and the birria tacos were so satisfying with that consommé.

We had great food and service on a Thursday night. They have a bar and very large dining room. We were seated immediately. They bring you complimentary chips, red salsa, and an orange sauce. The orange sauce was tasty, but I have no idea what it was! The fajitas were tasty and served with sides. The a la carte tacos were amazing. The carnitas were well seasoned and so moist. The carne asada was very flavorful too. I would definitely return. Plenty of parking in the attached lot. There is no outdoor seating. There were TVs playing soccer.

This is one of our favorite neighborhood Tex-Mex places to grab some Mexican food. They have a pretty awesome mocaljete but you better bring a large group because it feeds 6-8 people otherwise you could take it as leftovers I guess but wouldn't recommend it. It's better at the restaurant. They have pretty good portion sizes and prices are reasonable. They have complimentary chips and salsa and queso to start of and to settle in. They have 2 for 1 house margaritas everyday! My husband really likes their margaritas! It's one of his favorite places. My oldest daughter and I shared the steak fajitas and if you want extra tortillas then there's an extra charge of $2.50 for 4. The steaks was not in strips like other places that offer Mexican food. But it was still good. The staff was attentive and friendly. They were very helpful and very serious about COVID protocols when my youngest daughter choked on a piece of ice and spit up. The staff acted quickly to get the table cleaned up and sanitized.
