"I’m visiting from Arizona and have been here for about four months now. After much deliberation, I finally decided to try some Mexican food, unsure if I would find anything worthwhile. While driving by, I spontaneously decided to stop and grab a bite. Upon entering, I noticed there was only one other customer at around 5 PM, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. I was seated quickly and asked what I would like to drink—I went for the horchata. A few minutes later, the waiter returned not with a standard drink but with a mini pitcher, which was a pleasant surprise! Soon after, I was served some chips and salsa that were absolutely perfect while I waited for my meal. I ordered the Churrasco based on the waiter’s recommendation, along with tacos de al pastor and lengua. After around 6-10 minutes, the food arrived. The portion of the Churrasco was just what I expected (a decent serving), but I was pleasantly surprised by the generous size of the tacos—definitely not skimping on portions here! About half an hour into my meal, the place had filled up completely. I managed to finish nearly everything, and even though I was very full, I still wanted to keep snacking on the chips and salsa. I highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine. The food speaks for itself, as does the crowd it attracts. In summary: The food is delicious, the portions are generous, the vibe is casual, and the prices are very reasonable."

"The easiest way to determine if a restaurant is an authentic Mexican restaurant is very easy. If there are mashed potatoes (and seeds, lol) in your Chile Rellenos, it's not authentic. If your Molcajete does not have cactus and pineapple in the dish, it's not authentic. If your burritos have rice in them it's not authentic. This is just high priced Taco Bell.No respectable Mexican puts rice in a burrito, ever. Chipotle does, but again, McDonalds owns Chipotle.The beef tongue in the BURRITO JAROCHO is just beef. Not tongue. Just regular beef. Same exact beef as in the BURRITOS VERDES which are $9.75 compared to $14.95 for the tongue. (I got both to verify). Yep. True. I felt stupid. But, not my issue. A lot of places do this exact thing.The Mexican Restaurant in Mineral is a lot better, and 1/2 the price of this place.Growing up in Arizona and California, being able to actually drive into Mexico to get real Mexican food, you can even find better Mexican food from street vendors.I think white people must run this place. It's not Mexican. It's White Boy Mexican at best, and overpriced for even that.The salsa Looks and tastes like it came from a jar with a little sprig of cilantro on top. Nice try. A few fresh onions in there, stuck together. Just horrible on the prep side, and delivery. No flavor at all, just tastes like tomato paste with cilantro on top.Very bland, and very overpriced. Nothing about this place separates it from Taco Bell, except the price. $20.00 for Molcajete which at this place, is just Fajitas? In a bowl........ just everything wrong. Drive down the road a bit. There is real, authentic Mexican food in Mineral."
