  The chips with guacamole are my after work "snack" and my weekend lunch is the Menudo from Alvarados. The tacos and tortas are good! Plus they're open 24 hours! Oh, the Super Nachos with carne asada, it's for two and It's delicious!

  Not a bad restaurant.  The best quality is that it's open 24/7.  The price point is a little over what I'm used but not a bad product.  Tacos run close to $2 a taco and burritos about $6.  Food was not bad but not great.  I would return but wouldn't go out of my way to find this place.  Average food.

  I absolutely love this place. They have a salsa bar with chips. You can try all the salsa you want to get the correct level of hotness.
  
  This place also has the best value for your buck. The food is inexpensive but they load up the items with meat. The service is a little slow but that can be expected from places that operate by cooking to order.
  
  The quesadillas are huge. The tacos are loaded to the max. You will not be disappointed when you come here.

  If you are sensitive to smells the Fabuloso cleaner will  knock you off your feet. I would have enjoyed my lunch more without the smell. At least the restaurant is clean. I ordered a carne asada torta with fries...it was nice they let you substitute rice & beans for fries...it came standard with guacamole & lettuce. It was underwhelming, didn't taste Ike much but at least there weren't any fatty pieces. The fish tacos were tasty...nice size, fried with lettuce, pico and tartar sauce. The horchata was refreshing and sweet. I'm not sure I'll be back anytime soon though...only because there are better, closer options.  Next time we will use the drive thru option : )

  I was torn with the reviews but stopped anyways because they are 24hrs and it was 3 in the morning.  Service is ok.  Not the award winning customer service you would expect but at 3am in the morning I wouldn't be service friendly.  
  
  The menu is incredible so many options.  I'm from California and I'm picky about Mexican food.  After years of searching this is as close to home as I can get.  
  
  I had a Torta Plate #23 on the menu.  Let me tell you it is legit.  The bread was super soft and the plastic knife cut through it like butter without ruining it.  I got 2 equal pieces. The meat is as perfect and so was the lettuce and everything else inside of it.
  
  They had chips our under a heat lamp where you serve yourself.  Perfect cause I dont have to go and beg for chips. A lot of places charge and you feel guilty asking for more.  The salsa bar wa as incredible.  A little of everything. Absolutely fabulous.
  
  My beans were seasoned which is the way it should be. I noticed somebody commented about the salt.  They have salt next to the chips under the heat lamp as well as the napkins and utensils.
  
  Bathrooms were clean and so were the tables.  This isnt Javiers or a TexMex chain.  It's a a decent sized mom and pop that offers a whole lot of variety.  The prices seem fair compared to other restaurants.  
  
  If the food was bad, I would have docked them stars.  But for what it is this place is a winner.  If you want to leave a tip bring some cash if your gonna use a card because you don't have the ability to leave a tip with a card transaction. I felt bad cause I didnt have any cash to tip.
