Was in the mood for seafood and this place popped up on Yelp as a recommendation. Ordered the fried fish, shrimp cocktail, and aguachilles. The shrimp cocktail had a lot of shrimp, avocado, and cucumber which was delicious. But the actual cocktail juice was light in flavor. Because we took it to go I was able to doctor it up with some extra cocktail sauce, horseradish, hot sauce and lemon. I also loved that they serve saltines with their shrimp cocktail because some places just give chips. The fried fish was delicious and unfortunately I wasn't able to try the aguachilles before they ran out which might mean they were good.
This is more of a sit-down restaurant than a traditional taqueria but the menu was not as large as I expected it to be. I decided to get a carne asada plate which came with two small pieces of thin steak and sides of salad, rice, beans, and tortilla. The steak was marinated well and nicely cooked, I just wish there was more of it, given the plate cost $18. Parking can be a little difficult given it's only street parking on Mission but we were luckily able to nab the spot right out front.
My husband and I just came back from a vacation in Mexico and we were missing the authentic food from Mexico. So I went on yelp and found this place. It was soo good! We got 3 dif shrimp dishes, portions are good and it also comes with beans and rice on the side. All the food was rich in flavor, the staff were nice and accommodating.
Hubby and I were looking to try a new place and this restaurant happens to be local for us. I checked their yelp page and saw that there were good reviews with supporting pictures. The food looked delicious, eye candy. Parking is limited. It's a small place, but big enough to come in with a fairly large group. We walked in and sat down. I noticed a huge counter with a big television screen playing music videos of Latin music, jamming. There were a couple of tables and cultural decor. It was clean and inviting. The server greeted us and brought us chips and salsa verde. The salsa verde was to my liking, perfect amount of spicy. The server came back and took our orders: - Caldo de res (my order), came with rice, tortillas, and cilantro with onions - Grilled chicken tacos - Chicken quesadilla My caldo res was tasty and so good. I love the flavor of the broth. Big portion for me. I finished it though lol. I tasted hubby's tacos and quesadilla, also yummy. I love that they grilled the chicken, gives the flavor more depth. This will be one of our local spots. Thank you, El Taconazo for cooking for us.
I was welcomed and given a seat promptly I was offered the menu and my order taken quickly. Music was playing in the background to feel comfortable. The food was delicious and plentiful. The flavors were authentic.
I had the Caldo de Camarón. It was amazing, flavorful with perfect seasonings to compliment the fresh shrimp (10 pieces). Also had fresh zucchini, carrots cabbage. Comfort food for sure! I would order this soup again!
Recently attended to this local place and just want to say ¡wow! The food was great and it is beautifully presented, the prices are not bad as well compared to other latino restaurants, the salsa was excellent. The waitress was very friendly and the food was fastly served, we ordered Chilaquiles, quesabirria and some egg with ham for the baby, they even threw in some beans and rice for him at no extra cost, the place might be a little small if you are a larger party but the place overall is very clean and nice looking.
