Original Mexican Restaurant

Who's been hiding this place? My son took me here for Mother's Day because this mamacita loves Mexican food. I got the Carnitas Bowl. HUGE portion; at least 2 if not 3 meals for me. I had been told that their carnitas in and on anything was their calling card. Agreed and gold leaf at that! Paired with a perfectly concocted Paloma in a special ceramic mug with Tajin powder on the rim...so yummy. Prices were comparable to other similar restaurants. Nice decor inside, but really love the small but dressed up outdoor tables. Service was friendly, attentive and fast. Definitely going back! For me, Horsepen Road just made the A list for restaurant row.

They were very accommodating when we made a reservation for a large group for our team after a tournament. The food was alright, not the absolute best but I definitely ate all of it. The frozen margs were more liquid than preferable but overall it was a good place to bring a large group for a casual bite.

I ordered takeout birria tacos. They're listed under quesadillas on their menu. It came with three tacos that had a lot of meat in them which I appreciated. It came with consommé, black beans, red salsa, and salsa verde on the side as well as a bag of chips. The two salsas had lots of flavor and were delicious. The black beans and consommé didn't have much flavor at all which was disappointing. The consommé had no spice to it and was very oily. The meat in the tacos didn't have much flavor either, but the meat was very tender and plentiful. I don't think I'd order this dish again, but would be willing to try something else.

A solid choice for decades. Been coming since high school. Fastest service in town (and very friendly). Place is always busy, but you can still get in & out quickly. Not the most "authentic" Mexican cuisine around, but that's not a critique, just expectation management. Delicious, hot dishes served quickly with a smile. I, for one, don't see the harm in that.

My boyfriend and I were in search of another great Mexican restaurant in town, and I think we hit a jackpot with this one. By far one of the best al pastor tacos I've ever had. The flavoring is exceptional! Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed too. I'll DEFINITELY be back for these tacos!

Food was absolutely amazing my tastes buds did not know what good food tasted like until I got here I almost busted inside of my pants my taste buds went to heaven and came back this is my go to place if I ever need to get a taste of heaven

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner. Masks are optional. It wasn't very busy. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly!

We sat down and received warm chips and salsa prettt quickly. It didn't take long for our waiter to bring us drinks or our food either. I ordered the enchilada don lupe (2 potato and 2 cheese). It was really yummy! I had never had a potato enchilada. Although I was under the impression that it would be mixed with onions and peppers? Maybe I'm recalling the menu incorrectly. I wish I had more tomatoes with the meal but it was good. My boyfriend ordered the burrito grande. He ended up wanting more cheese on top of his burrito (good thing he ordered the queso). The steak was also kind of dry and chewy. It was disappointing.

As always, a great meal! This is our neighborhood Mexican restaurant and definitely our favorite.

We were seated immediately, drinks and chips were brought right away. Our server was attentive without being annoying and got our orders perfectly. The food was brought out quickly and was served hot. Everything tasted great.

We'll be back!!!

Whenever I go to any other Mexican restaurant, I feel like I'm cheating on El Caporal, my first love! This is your typical Mexican restaurant. Bright fiesta colors, cheerful setting and a fun atmosphere. As soon as we sat in our booth, we were greeted with chips and salsa from a pleasant server. We ordered quesadillas, the chicken and mushroom one was full of shredded chicken in a tasty sauce, sautéed mushrooms and cheese. Mine was a plain cheese quesadilla and it was a tad greasy and I like them more browned.

They offer tableside guacamole service, $1.00 tacos on Mondays, and happy hour specials.

The queso dip was too runny for my taste. But the salsa was pretty good. For a speedy bite at a good price, this is a fine choice.

Food came out super quick and it's delicious! Our server was really nice and attentive. The outside seating area is such a cute spot. Perfect for a nice day.
