Carnitas Ahualulco Mesquite Reviews
Read a review, couldn't reach Ch*****e, and decided to take a leap. It's more of a diner atmosphere, small, 16 tables, informal, probably classified as authentic. The quesadillas were delicious! The menu is in Spanish and English. The GREEN sauce is milder than the RED. WARNING: do NOT leave without a box of cookies, impeccably wrapped for freshness. I got the Cinnamon; there's Chocolate Chip, Wedding, and something else. Outstanding crunch, texture, not sugary sweet, an excellent dessert to take home. ¡Volverá!
I just moved from North Dallas to Mesquite and rely on my son to find restaurants I might like. I hadn't had Mexican in a while - real, authentic Mexican cooking, so he took me to this place. It's so convenient, at the corner of Military parkway and 635 on the right side of the south-bound road. Lots of handicapped parking right in front. So happy to see that, since most places don't try to make it easy to get to the door if you are using a walker. The place is so clean and colorful - even outside, they have planter boxes with beautiful flowers to greet you as you arrive. We were greeted cheerfully when we walked in. We asked if we order at the counter and she replied that we would be waited on, so we sat at a booth. They have a nice menu and I loved seeing my fave - huevos a la Mexicana. It arrived on a large plate with rice, beans and several corn tortillas wrapped in foil. They offer you a choice of corn or flour tortillas. My son chose 3 tacos of barbacoa. He loved that they weren't 'dripping in grease' as he put it - like everywhere else. He offered me a bite and yes, they were so much better than the greasy tacos you get at a lot of places. And the tortillas - homemade for sure! He also ordered a breakfast burrito, which was a good size and packed with ham and eggs. He told me 'They don't skimp on the ham!" They brought me coffee in a gorgeous mug. I had been looking at the wall painting, wondering which Mexican state the mountains and greenery represented. But when I saw S.L.P on the mug, I knew immediately - gorgeous San Luis Potosi. Before we left, I bought a box of cookies and they are SO good. I like to eat one with my coffee in the morning. The wedding cookies, I think they're called, not too sweet, just right. You have to try this place and I am happy to have found it!
I ordered 1lb carnitas from here. I must say, for the price, it’s perfect. The well cooked carne along with some repollo and chile en vinagre and salsa hit the spot. I do recommend
True authentic Mexican vibes! The food is fantastic as well! Nice hole in the wall spot to take the family for some delicious Spanish flavors.
I was very pleased with the flavor of the food. the service was good. I am going to try the breakfast tomorrow
We visited with a pretty big group late in the day. We filled much of the space, so it was a little cramped, but manageable. The service was good, but we still ended up with several mix ups in the orders. In the end, we enjoyed our visit. The food was very tasty and priced for the area. It's definitely not your chain thing and I liked that part the most.
I got a pound of carnitas to go. My kids loved them, they were served with tortillas,salsa & a cabbage salad.
Front door stays locked during business hours. This is a fire hazard and a safety issue. Had to wait outside for over 5 minutes to get let in by a waitress who was 6 ft away taking an order, and then walked away, leaving me outside for another few minutes. Food was great, I'm guessing the doors were locked for their safety, but this is not allowed in any business, ever.
No wait which is nice for a Sunday . Sat my family of 6 fast and prompt . Very authentic Carnitas , tender and juicy. Tried the beef nachos , very crispy chips and a nice portion. Tripa tacos 😋 a just try Beef torta was delicious 😋 Gorditas are a must. A must try Definitely will come back to try other dishes
My husband and I decided to come Sunday after church, I wanted to try their enchiladas Potosinas since they looked good in some reviews. We sat right away, it wasn't too busy. My husband and I ordered the enchiladas along with 2 tacos al pastor and 1 taco de tripa extra crispy and 1 taco de carnitas. We underestimated the enchiladas when we ordered the tacos on the side. They are BIG! We ended up not finishing them. Flavor-wise they were ok, it needed salt or some type of flavor. Same with the tacos, no flavor. Now let's talk about service... the lady that took our order was nice and fast, however, we didn't know if our bill was going to be brought to us or if we needed to go to the register and pay but since we were ready to go my husband went to the register. Hmm, the girl working the register seemed to be bothered, my husband paid and asked for a to-go box and with a stank face she gave him one. I don't understand why though, we are paying patrons (first-time patrons). A smile goes a long way in my opinion there's no reason for the face. One thing I do not accept is bad service. Come back? No, thank you.
Food was awful, waited for a waitress to attend us too long. Never going bk
Food was terrible gave my family food poisoning. Send one of my family members to the ER. Don’t eat there.
Placed an order for pick up. It was about a 10 minute drive home after I picked up my food. I ordered a barbacoa torta with fries. I got home and found I was given a chicken torta with fries. How does someone confuse chicken and barbacoa? The bread was hard and the torta was really dry. The fries were limp, soggy, cold and sad. Total came out to $12.99
