| - Not gonna lie, this place looked sketchy as heck from the outside and inside, but sometimes the dingiest hole in the walls offer up the best food and my fiancé and I were feeling adventurous enough to chance it.
To our surprise, they offered up tasty and flavorful authentic Mexican cuisine. I also learned that they're actually a small chain: with 3 locations in Vegas (Charleston, Tropicana and this location on Westcliff) and there is also a location in Los Angeles that's poppin off popular sharing most of the same menu offerings.
Here's what we tried:
* al pastor tacos - street style, mini soft taco, very flavorful, moist meat. 5/5
* carne asada tacos - street style, mini soft taco, great asada and charred flavor, but meat is a tad on the dry, chewy end. 3/5
* al pastor mulitas - it's like a mini quesadilla! Super cheesy with moist al pastor meat and a little bit of avocado sauce. I was shocked by how much flavor was stuffed in that little guy! 5/5
* mole chicken enchiladas - holy mole-y it was delicious! The mole sauce was very thick, slightly sweet and flavorful. Plus the shredded chicken inside was moist. The enchiladas came with a tiny side of rice and beans which were both average. I enjoyed the mole sauce and loved the savory sweet combination of flavor, but to some, they may find it too sweet. 5/5
* chile verde nachos - The chips are fried fresh and super crispy - my favorite part of this dish. The nachos are topped with moist and flavorful pork, guacamole, sour cream, pickled serranos, beans and lots of malty cheese. It's a serious meal in itself! 4/5
* salsa bar - all of your usual suspects: red hot sauce, salsa verde, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, lime, pickled oregano onions. My favorites were the salsa verde, pickled jalapeños and pickled onions. Unfortunately, nothing was very spicy. 3/5
Do not pass on the the horchata! They have the most delicious horchata I've tried yet! Bold flavor and not watered down like every other place. I see myself cruising by just for a cold, refreshing horchata since they are 5 min from home. This could be dangerous! 5/5
As you guessed, this place is cheap! My fiancé and I left stuffed with lots of leftovers for about $24 and change.
