The tortilla chips were old and hard as rocks,the salsa is darned near black in color taste nasty,very hot but taste nasty and old. My Carne asada burrito came with great big serving of rice and cold soupy beans with creama and very little Carne asada,it looked more like ground beef and it was barely warm.This place needs a good cook and a cleaner tables,there was no excuse for the looks of this hole in the wall , which should be condemned. The food sucks and the service was no better. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody , not even my worst enemy. I vomited and had stomach ache for a couple of hours, I barely made it home with diarrhea .....never again. Cheri Grey P.S I COULD BARELY INTO THIS PLACE ON MY ELECTRIC SCOOTER DO TO THEIR HORRIBLE PARKING LOT,AND NO HANDICAPPED PATH TO ENTRANCE ,TRYING TO GO IN ....NOT AGAIN. HORRIBLE FOOD .

Worst experience I’ve ever had. We when there yesterday which was a weekday so the place was empty we were the only customers there my husband my 2 kids. We order she brought our drinks and my husband asked for water for my 1 year old she brought us a plastic cup that had dirt on the bottom inside. She brings my sons food and my husband leaves doesn’t come to check on us till everyone was down eating and she come and says oh ur food so she goes to check and it wasn’t made so I get up and I tell her I don’t want the food no more we canceled it and she brings up the check we pay and when we got home my husband check the receipt and they charged us for my food I had order and NEVER GOT! This is wrong!! They are stealing from the customer!!! DO NOT GO HERE !!! They didn’t apologize for not bringing my food plus I still paid for it!!! Over price and they are thieves!!!!

I ordered the caldo de res and it was disqusting. It had beef chunks, string beans, raw carrots, garbanzo beans, and harmony. It was like they put the left over menudo and beef stew together to make my soup. I have never known for caldo de res to have garbanzo beans, stribg beans, harmony and raw carrots. I've always had it with coocked carrots, potatoes or chyote, the beef, squash and corn (like little pieces of corn on the cob). And I must also say it was pretty pricy for something that was nasty. They shoukd get a new cook or teach the so called cook how to cook. I wont be ordering that again abd it will be awhile before i go back. Oh and ny husband had the burrito.

  • Crystal VDM

Take out order for dinner. Got a delicious wet burrito(burrito mojado) with red and green sauce , it's saucy and spicy, a burrito chile verde, and hand made tortillas taco asada. My order came with 3 different salsa, that I don't know the name, but they are all good. It's my first time ordering here and definitely will try again. Update 3/6/21. Ordering by phone the second time today. Asking for the same burrito mojado with half red sauce and half green sauce but they cannot do it because they are busy. Tonight is my second time requesting burrito chile colorado, but again, they don't have it including along with the taco de barbacoa. I suggest an update of the menu on the website.

  • Kimberly Aquino Rivera

went in for breakfast and it was super tasty!!! authentic hispanic food, restaurant was clean, and not busy at all at 10:30am. i got a bean, cheese and rice burrito, it was a good size burrito and less than $10. my husband got a handmade quesadilla, it was huge with a handmade tortilla and he said it was tasty. he got al pastor meat in his quesadilla and said it was well seasoned, tender, and overall delicious. we both got agua de horchata and the flavor was immaculate.

The server was not the best. Food is good because we know what we want and we've tried it before. But the server seemed and act like she was doing us a favor! Never order dinner until your appetizer is on the table, that is our lesson and our advice. She brought dinner first and when I ask for the appetizer she said "the chicken was ready first" .. we ate the chicken and canceled the rest of the food. Obviously, we left right after, craving a second glass of wine, our coffee and dessert. It was a bad experience.

What an awesome place to grab to beer and a big platter of shrimp. Pictured is one of the Botano plates that feeds 4. The shrimp all were made in a different way and then presented as a platter with cucumber, pineapple, and some orange slices... Great on a hot day with friends

I've seen this place as I drove bu for years wife.and I decided to try , great choice for my dish, I ordered the Milanese plate ,.super tasty and fried properly , two big strips on a plate with beans and rice, wife ordered the Chile verde, was good, this place is also a seafood place, big menu, prices are good for food offered.

  • Rachel Blanchard

Just had a quick lunch since we had our car worked on around the corner. Shared 3 fish tacos with a side of rice. Tacos were delicious, quite filling. The salsa was different than what I've had before and very good! It blended well with the meal. Loved the atmosphere and the waitress was very attentive.

  • Buster Raymond Jordan

This is one of the best underground spots I've ever visited. The food is great and the prices are more than affordable. They have a live guitar player (Sunday's.) The parking is not so good seeing the location is on a peninsula, but still doable. I would definitely visit again.

  • O R.

Best place in town, takes a li6bit of time to get the food, be patient nothing is pre-made everything is made right when you order!! But is worth it!!! Best seasoned shrimp

The food is top notch, very delicious. From the hand made tortillas to the wide variety of sea food! The service is good, and always very pleasant. My only gripe is that it's always loud, BUT it's always a good time! Would absolutely come back, happily!

  • Jean Nunes

Really good food and affordable price! Some attendant were really nice with us and our son, but the one who served us dont even smile a second, but she was helpful and polite!
