This restaurant has been my “go-to” for the past five years since I’ve lived out this way. Three of those years I’ve been strictly vegetarian and this restaurant made it easy for me to find an expansive variety of meals that could easily be accommodated to have no meat and still be filling and nutritious. It’s all fresh ingredients here! Just as the title boasts, they truly do have the best authentic Mexican food in the area. The staff is always very friendly and efficient. My usual is a veggie tostada and large guacamole with chips and horchata. I often splurge and treat myself to the veggie burrito or the chile relleno which, if you’ve never tried, you’re missing out! If you’re a seafood lover like myself, try their ceviche, it’s out of this world. I love that they stay open during late night hours. They have the most delicious house made salsas - mild verde and the extra spicy red sauce! My personal favorite is the extra spicy red sauce because along with the wonderful heat, it has a lovely bold blended flavor of onion, garlic and habenero. Don’t sleep on those sauces when you order!
El authentico burrito has got to be my favorite Mexican restaurant. Stupid fire . The flavors are on point. With me being vegetarian, this is definitely a go to spot. The Veggie Torta is to die for. For the meat eaters, the Carne Asada is extremely fire. The churros here are top five for me. This is definitely a great spot to enjoy a meal.
It a little corner restaurant the owner and his staff are so nice food they make it the way you want it I recommend this restaurant
Everything was cooked to perfection just the right amount of seasoning and heat (I added more heat) the burrito we huge and I only finished it because it was so good! This place is Everything I expected and a definite good find if you are in the area do your best to stop in and try something you won't be disappointed!
One of the best Mexican restaurant I have ever visited. being vegetarian they happily customize my order as per my needs, not everyone does that..
The carne asada was on another level, with amazing food and awesome service highly recommend this place!!!
Good food for decent price. Dine-in and drive- thru available. Ask about the two items combo w/rice, beans and drink. Best value on menu. Also great place for breakfast.
I had the bistec a la Mexicana and it was great! Good flavor, fresh, salted just right, a little spicy. It's a 10. The rice and bean sides are classic and good. The salsas were good too, the chips would have been better warm.
