Enchiladas with super sour green sauce, probably from a can, & red sauce, not bad, 6/10. Tacos al pastor, not much meat for the price, & the menu says 4 but I got 3, but the flavor was pretty good, 10/10. Quesadilla 8/10, the tortilla was too brown & not fresh. Huarache was really good, generous, & tasty 10/10, & their Mexican bread was awesome, just like at home. The downside is that, like in Mexico, they use a lot of vegetable oil or margarine. I'll be back for sure, hope will be better next time
