I have purchased tacos, lots of Hibiscus (Jamaica) and a burrito here in the past. But today I decided to order a steak meal. I was starving when I ordered, however I did not expect it would be a huge meal. I had to get a box to pack what I couldn't finish. Everything was delicious and both the server and chef were very polite and friendly. I'm % bringing people here when they say they are starving and hitting them with a huge plate of steak (but judging by the menu pictures, it looks like the seafood dish is about the same size)
I will be back! Delicious food prepared with joy. You can tell.
Spent 125 for lunch and drinks with a buddy. Very expensive and they don't do TACO Tuesday specials. The other La Presa right down the road does though
It's all good. Delicious sauces. My favorite tortillas are El Milagro, and I can tell that is what they use here. An impressive variety on the menu , with an especially large seafood menu. Prices are a little higher than some other places, but are worth it.
Love everything in the menu! decent prices and good service.
Wow I was surprised when I saw all the food I got in my order LoL I wasn't able to finish great food and good service very clean Thank you so much
I’ve seen this restaurant for years (maybe decades?) while going to Napoli’s. It always appears unassuming. A friend and I decided to stop here randomly and boy was I pleasantly surprised! Great service I need to say firstly. Although the laminated menus don’t have prices, the paper ones at the counter do for most items not Market Price. Don’t let this put you off. My meal was 20.99 at time of payment before tip, for seafood. The insane amount of different whole seafood options and steak specialties, the massive colorful platters, the huge drinks... This is a wonderfully decadently-far cry from my typical Napoli’s trip. BUT they still make the essentials like tacos, sopes, and burritos too. I got the Camarones con Crema de Chipotle, my friend got the Chilaquiles Verdes. Both were on MASSIVE platters and was a great amount of food. Seasoned rich sauce, great shrimp, warm tortillas... My friend’s margarita with the Corona took forever to finish and must have had good quality tequila in it. As the meal wore on, the restaurant had more and more customers for a late Sunday lunch. It didn’t seem so empty and quiet as what you see from the outside, and it was nice seeing people coming in. I would definitely come back again or make a pickup order with the fam. Great job, employees!!
Came in on a Sunday night and it was pretty much empty. Food was delicious, huge servings. Horchata was good, salsas was great, steak burrito was better than I expected. Quac was also great and the server was nice and attentive. No prices on the main menu, but it wasn’t crazy expensive- about 40 for a burrito dinner, enchiladas dinner, horchata and quac...
