EL BURRITO MERCADO REVIEWS

Had a great time out to dinner. We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you for the awesome food and wonderful hospitality. All the right spices and flavors you will be looking for at an affordable price and your belly is full and happy.

Absolutely love the Birria Tacos, have gotten each time I go and love them! Definitely a great spot for lunch. The food is so filling it is my goal to finish the plate. Main thing I would love would be a main dish of the soup! So delicious and flavorful.

Stopped in to pick up some food to go and glad I did! I had the quesobirra tacos and carnitas nachos. The food is delicious and there is a lot of grocery food I would come back for. The deli looked great! I'll be back to eat my way through this place.

BOCA CHICA RESTAURANTE Y CANTINA REVIEWS

Cute restaurant! I went here for the first time yesterday and it is a really adorable restaurant. It is more of a family-style Mexican restaurant vs. a Mexican bar restaurant. There were a lot of families here. I ordered the barria tacos as well as the ceviche and a side of rice and beans. The food came out relatively quickly and everything was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend checking this place out. The service was phenomenal and the food was equally as amazing.

This Mexican Restaurant has amazing food. I've always ordered the fajitas but this vist I took a chance with Pick 3 with a crispy Tacos, bean and beef burrito and an enchilada. It was phenomenal. My only complaint was I normal love their chips and salsa and this visit the chips tasted stale and the salsa wasn't as good as usual. I still give them 5 stars because in 20+ years that's the first time they didn't taste the same. My friends raved about all their different dishes. Definitely worth visiting.

Had lunch at noon on Saturday and it wasn't busy. Waitress was delightful, and the food was wonderful. The mole sauce is superb. Portions are generous for the price. I used to go here a lot as a child and loved it; I am pleased to say it is everything I remember.

PAJARITO REVIEWS

The octopus was probably top 3 I've tried in the world. The variety of the chips n salsa were on point! Vibe is good, food is fantastic, and a HUGE shout out to Rosa our server. She was fast, polite, witty, good recommendations, amazing server. Ask for Rosa (management, she deserves a raise!!!)! Great evening with great food and service. Many thanks for hosting our group.

I had an incredible dining experience last night at Pajarito. The food was absolutely amazing, thanks to the talented head chef, Ross. Every dish was packed with flavor and truly exceeded my expectations. On top of that, the customer service was exceptional! The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great meal. Definitely worth checking out.

Pajarito is always a solid choice! We had the chilaquiles and octopus, and both were fantastic. The service is usually good too. Highly recommend.
