I've lived in this neighborhood for about 6 yrs total and restaurants are hit or miss but mostly missed. Sometime ago, we tried a new mexican place (Tuxpan) after a number of "just okay" places we order from weekly. Tuxpan was a knockout for various reasons. One, most places don't have any sort of taste in the steak tacos, Tuxpan does! Second thing is I was able to get various of deals as well online ordering from Living Social. I've only been to the restaurant itself once but had delivery about 10x within the past 3-4 months. It's turned into a somewhat normal thing to order from Tuxpan.
I also the fact that you can order Chips and Salsa from the store. Oh of course, you think... sounds plain and ghetto. However I love the mild sauce. Only once, it's a bit stronger than usual. I also feel you get more beans w/ cheese and rice when dining in as pose to delivery.
So far all delivery orders have been dead on and quick. I've seen 2 delivery drivers and each time they are quiet passionate and quick. It's always great to be greet by a smiling face. Sounds cheesy right!? But it's pleasant after a long day of work.
Only complaint is the portion size of the beans/rice changed above and one time the rice was fresh or something because it looks and tasted amazing. I wish i could pin point the date because my wife really wanted to call the restaurant and tell them, whatever they're doing to continue. however the next 2 deliveries were back to the dry looking normal rice. Not to say it wasn't good but that one fresh, wet looking rice was amazing and it's hard to go back.
Glad to see this is in a neighborhood without alot good service and food.
Oh ya, the hours are tough. I usually don't get home from work till 9ish PM. They close at 9PM during the week. That sucks! I would order another 1-2x a week if they just adjusted there hours till 10PM on weekdays but you can't win them all!
One last thing, there prices are dirt cheap. I love that! It allows me to question other restaurants with poor product and service actually and wonder why those places are charging $5 more per product!!!!!!
EDIT: I changed my rating to 5 stars. i like this place and the service is good. they went out and beyond after forgetting a portion of my food last time and since then has been on the ball.
The only beef I have about this place is that their salsas are a bit bland. They've got the habenero, tomatillo, and chili sauces. None were too spicy and maybe even tasted a little watered down.
They're extremely quick, extremely cheap, and otherwise extremely good! Tongue tacos and tacos al pastor, always my go to, done right.
Good food at good prices, and comfortable atmosphere. Â I've been here a few times and they seem to be consistant. I had the chicken tacos and so did my wife. Â They were good, they were REAL, ATHENTIC, not incredible, but definately not bad. Â I really like the atmosphere though, its a small little strip mall place, but it feels very authentic and family-ran. Â The woman who took my order was very pleasant, (charming and polite). I'll be going back.
