I have to call BS on the 3 star rating this place has (at the time of my writing this). I hate to see restaurants who offer amazing foods suffer because the local patrons are too ignorant to understand what they're experiencing. As an aficionado of South American cuisine, I give this place 2 thumbs way up. I am speaking for the tacos and the pupusas when I say they're some of the best I've tried in the area. I can't speak for the rest of the menu because I haven't had it. So if you're a taco fiend like me, you'll be very happy with this restaurant. Why I think this restaurant isn't popular amongst my fellow Glen Burnians: 1. The ambience. It is VERY authentic to the true South American scene. Don't expect to walk in and feel like you're in Chili's. They blare Latin music and have TVs displaying Spanish telenovelas. Every other authentic South American restaurant I frequent has a similar setup. This is not a flaw. 2. Locals are probably expecting Taco Bell. This is not Taco Bell. REPEAT: this is not Taco Bell. This is also not a flaw (in fact it's a HUGE plus!!) 3. A possible language/ cultural barrier? I am only hypothesizing here, but the people who work here are native Spanish speakers. They know English too, but it's not native, so I can imagine situations of miscommunication happening. I don't know, but again, this is not a flaw. After all, I believe we should all get an opportunity to practice our español from time to time. So all in all, I had a great experience, and will be back on a weekly/biweekly basis!

Stopped in late night coming from bowling, the bartender was super nice! It was close to 11pm, they served my to go order pretty quick. The music reminded me of being in Mexico. The Mexicano tacos are good, I had one streak & a chicken. They come with cilantro, green sauce, jalapeños to kick up the heat. The tacos didn't disappoint, they were stuffed with meat. I'll be back for sure!

I give it a 4 mostly for authenticity but it's really more like a 3.5 overall I'd say. The previous reviewer wondered if they spoke English, they do but not perfect. I speak Spanish so it's not a problem. My wife and daughter do not speak Spanish and had no problems ordering. The food is good and authentic. As the other reviewer said, the staff is decent and friendly. As for the $10 soups, yes, they are large servings. I like tripe (I know...) so I like the Sopa de Mondongo. Very filling and good. I've eaten there several times and have yet to find something I don't like but I know what to expect, you may not. Be open minded if you go and don't be surprised if you're the only gringo there! ;-) But hey, that adds to the authenticity! Be aware they do have a bar and if a Futbol (Soccer to you gringos!) game is on, it can get a little loud and rowdy, though not too bad.
