“ Great authentic tacos. Steak tacos are above average. Chicken tacos are amazing! I used to eat here for lunch when I worked nearby, and haven't been in a while. I have to thank whoever suggested seasoning the meat better, but they've jumped from a 3 to a 5. Best tacos I've had outside of Mexico. ”
“ I had beef steak tacos and refried beans, delicious. My husband had the beefhead tacos which you don't find always, he also had grilled vegetables. He enjoyed his food very much. Our Dos Equis nice and cold. If you like authentic Mexican then this is a good place to check out. The only reason I gave 4 stars for atmosphere is because not everyone is okay with torn seats, not all but some. I have been to Mexico and it is very authentic, and the bathrooms were very clean. Macho Gracias.. ”
“ The best Mexican food in this area. I recommend it. Alambre El Pareja es muy bueno. If you are here, try el Menudo. Last time, they served me expired beer(almost one year from BB), but they replaced it with a cold Victoria with no issues. ”
“ My favorite Mexican restaurant by a mile. The food is delicious with a ton of options. The Tortas and the Molcajete Mixto are worth any drive. Always grab a side of the grilled green onions . ”
“ Don't let the look of this place fool you, the food here is delicious and authentic and always fresh. It is my favorite place to eat Mexican food in Delaware so far. The prices are good and the portions are large. Be warned though, the salsas they make there are no joke. The red one has some fantastic heat behind it. If you can't take spicy, stick to the green salsa. I'm pretty sure they have a secret avocado garden somewhere because they always have fresh and perfectly ripe avocados here. ”
