    Great food and great prices. I had the Atlantic Burrito, and it was great. It was a little small, but given the price, it was definitely worth it. Someone else at my table had the shrimp fajitas and loved them. Also, the margarita was above average, and the sangria was very good.

    Used to really like this place but have had a few bad experiences there recently. Tonight we ordered take-out and the yellow cheese on both of our dishes smelled awful. It was clearly rancid, looked like whatever got left at the bottom of a bag and forgotten in a fridge for several months. We called to see if we could have our food remade and talked to a manager. He agreed that their cheese smelled bad but said it tastes good, and told me "if I were you I'd just eat it." Tried to explain to me that they get all sorts of different qualities from their supplier and have zero control over the product. I suggested they try to do something about that so they're not serving rancid cheese, and he got pretty rude and kept asking if I had listened to anything he had just said. Wouldn't acknowledge that maybe there was a problem they should work on, and didn't replace our food. We ended up throwing most of it out. I've eaten at this restaurant many times and the cheese has never been like this. For what it's worth, we've only had bad experiences like this at the Woburn location. Definitely will not be ordering from there again.

    I grew up on the west coast and have eaten a lot of good, authentic tacos & Mexican food, it's my favorite. My fiance and I randomly went here hoping for some good street tacos. The bartender wasn't very friendly. My draft beer tasted off. They brought out complimentary chips & salsa. The salsa had the consistency of watered down tomato juice. It was almost impossible to get any on the chips, it just dripped off. It didn't have any flavor, either. We asked for guacamole to dip the chips in, and that ended up being the best thing they served us. We got the street tacos and carnitas tacos. The street tacos had no fresh cilantro or onions, as you would traditionally find on street tacos. They had the same toppings as the carnitas tacos, some cooked pepper & onions. They also came on flour tortillas instead of corn. Overall, very disappointing. Not authentic at all, lacking flavor. Would not return.

    Very good restaurant!!!! We have such a good time that I don't know where to start. Very cozy place, restrooms cleans, good parking, fair prices and super attentive waiters. The food was amazing, very good flavors and presentation. They were fast with our order, even that it was a party of 8. That chips and salsa omgggg!!!!! It was our wedding anniversary and sang the mañanitas for us. Overall I highly recommend this place

    Service was a bit sleepy and the guac really could’ve used some salt. But food I general was tasty, especially the refried beans

    Incredibly dry. I have been looking for a good Mexican restaurant and this is 100% not it. I ordered a fajita chimichanga and it just came with a ton of onions and dry chicken. Waiter seemed frustrated when I told him that I didn’t want the food. Cheese dip was also gross. It was super chunky and had a weird consistency. I am NOT picky when it comes to food. This place was just not it. Save your $ and find another spot. Such a waste of time and money.

    The mango virgin daiquiris were delicious, food was all reasonably priced with excellent portion sizes and fantastic quality. The atmosphere was all soothing and appropriate with friendly waitstaff and lovely Hispanic music. Would definitely visit again.

    Food is good, HATE the new menu. If you don’t know what an item is there is no description, you have to ask the server, which stinks. Consider recreating your menu with descriptions of the food available

    Quick service, nice restaurant decor, friendly staff. We had the Cadillac and Rosarita margaritas, enchiladas, and steak cantina.

    Food quality is good for the area, but it is not worth going out of your way for. Service is friendly, but like most places, these days. Noticeably understaffed. Atmosphere is appropriate for Mexican cuisine, and the music ambiance isn't too overbearing.

    Went out for lunch with my boyfriend. The service was great, our waiter was very attentive. I got the chicken fajita chimichanga and it was DELICIOUS!!! Rice and beans were great too! I just wished I had ordered extra rice lol. For a quick, inexpensive, tasty meal, this is definitely the place to go! Since my boyfriend works close by, this will definitely not be the last time we choose to eat here!!! Thanks for a great lunchtime experience!

    Ixtapa! I'm never going there again. As I was trying to enjoy my food. I bit into this little stone that almost chipped my tooth. Don't know how or why it was in my food.

  • 2/5 MATT G. 1 year ago on Google
    Ok in a pinch. The carnitas were very tough and dry. The rice was dried out. The El pastor tacos were not like you would expect. I put "no dairy please" two different times in the online checkout process but still got cheese on my beans.

    Good spot for a lunch or a casual dinner. My Atlantic burrito was great along with a virgin strawberry margarita. I will likely come back:)

    In town for a wedding, and The Ixtapa Burrito plate with pork was so good we came back a few days later and had it a second time before we left. Best salsa i have ever had at a mexican restaurant! Service was quick and very good, also! Can’t wait to be back in town for more.
