Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

This place has the potential to be amazing, but it's never consistent. Sometimes it's delicious and I find myself craving it soon after. But sometimes it's awful. I've had one too many awful times, and tonight was the last straw. I ordered taquitos for takeout. They forgot my sides. They gave me dry taquitos with nothing else but guac. No salad, no sour cream, and no salsa for the chips. I should've known to check it, but I trusted them and drove home. I drove all the way back and told them to either remake everything and give me all of my order, or give me my money back. The girls up front were quick to fix it, but they didn't have my food remade. They reheated it. I got it home the second time and my taquitos were in a pool of grease from being refried. They were soggy, oily. The salad and sour cream had a lot of water in the bottom and no one wants wet food. I threw almost half of my dinner away. My family member's meal wasn't any better. I literally drove 30 mins total for food that was disgusting. I'm not going back here anytime soon. El Patron in Gadsden or Los Arcos in Lenlock are way better.

The food was good, but the service was amazing. Their guacamole was smooth, seasoned well, and delicious. I had the beef chimaconga with out beans and rice, it was good. My daughter had cheese pizza and fries. Her comment was "It was good, but tasted the same as all the other Mexican restaurants we go to." She's 8 and has her own ability to make decisions.

As a Tejano (Texas Mexican),this is the worst “Mexican” food in the entire area code. Go to Los Mex in Oxford. The rating is not indicative of what’s deserving. I’ve had friends (who say it’s the best Mexican ever lol) in this area recommend it and I’ve tried it 3 times since being here and it’s not it. Make your own Mexican at home and it’ll turn out better, I promise. Every time, the salsa tastes like marinara sauce from Little Caesar’s & they constantly mess up the orders. For a $16 meal I received a small container of rice and beans. The container of beans is half full of Vienna sausage or hotdog meat…..yes Iook at the photos. The $18 meal came with 3 trays of salad/guacamole and the rice and beans still came in a small container, rather being in one of the trays by itself. Overall is not a Mexican restaurant. Pro Mexican tip I tell everyone: “If it’s got cantina or grill in the name, it’s not authentic Mexican”. Baja affirms this idea.
