" Not sure what the hype is about. My experience was rather disappointing. The menudo was overly bland, and the tacos didn’t seem fresh. I was expecting more based on past reviews, but the service was friendly at least. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible service! My friends and I visited on a Saturday evening, and even though they were busy, the staff were cheerful and accommodating. The food was made fresh to order. Their chile verde is simply divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited for a quick lunch. The service was a bit rushed, and I felt a little ignored while ordering, but the food made up for it. I had their chorizo con huevos and it was delicious! The homemade tortillas were a highlight. I'll return but maybe during a less busy time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Grandma's Tamales was a delight! Their tamales, especially the pork ones, were incredibly flavorful and moist. The staff was cheerful and made the experience even more enjoyable. I also loved the freshly made tortillas. Definitely planning on returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wasn't the best experience. Food lacked seasoning, and the overall ambiance was a bit lacking. I didn't feel like I was in a Mexican restaurant; it felt quite generic. I might give it another shot, but it wasn't what I expected. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (1105)

" I really wanted to love this place given the rave reviews, but I found the food to be just average for Mexican cuisine. I tried the chilaquiles, which didn't impress me much—lacked flavor. The margarita was also underwhelming. I might give it another shot since others seem to enjoy it more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently had lunch here and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a beef burrito and it was gigantic! So much flavor packed into every bite! The staff were friendly and the place was clean. I loved the salsa they offered with the chips. It’s a must-try for anyone in the area craving solid Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)
