  I have been coming here for a couple of years now and am a huge fan of this place. The food is always authentic, delicious, and generously portioned. The prices are reasonable as well. I have tried many of their dishes and can heartily recommend the burritos, gorditas, the various tacos, their steaks, and their soups. I try to order something different every time I go and always leave satisfied.
  
  However yesterday I tried the chicken enchiladas for the first time and, while the food here is always good and my expectations here always high, those enchiladas still managed to blow my mind. They came covered with a salsa verde, shredded lettuce, crema, and Mexican cheese (cojita I assume) and boy were they tasty. The salsa in particular was delicious and noticeably piquant.
  
  I have been thinking of those enchiladas ever since. I am not sure if I will ever be able to order anything else there again.

  Truly authentic Mexican food in Bristol PA. This place is so easy to miss, as it's in the back of a small Mexican grocery store. As you pass through the store, you can tell it's authentic. Once in back, there are three tables and a deli-type counter. You order by number with maybe 10 choices. My favorite is the chicken tacos that come three to an order with nicely seasoned chicken, cilantro and onion. The salsa verde is a wonderful compliment. The chicken quesadillas are also fantastic with such good queso cheese. Come git you some, just don't tell others. Great little joint that you'll want to keep to yourself.

  Let me start by saying that I'm not a huge fan of the toppings that are usually included on authentic Mexican tacos. I'm a huge lover of sour cream and although it isn't traditional on a lot of food, I absolutely love the flavor and creaminess that it brings to so many dishes, especially Latino food.
  
  The restaurant in the back of this Mexican grocery is one place that I've been wanting to go to for a while. The first time I went several months ago, I was met with closed doors because the hours listed on Google are not accurate. I came far too late. When I finally made it in today, I was astounded by the incredibly wide range of Mexican items they had at the grocery. It's awesome to find a place like this in Bristol.
  
  I ordered a set of 3 tacos el pastor and a set of 3 tacos carne asada. I didn't sit in as I knew I'd prefer to eat them in the comfort of my own home. Upon getting home, I added all included toppings to the tacos, but used my own sour cream. I first, however, took a bite before adding my own sour cream. The tacos were quite good, I'd say a solid 3.5/5. I only wished for the meat to be a bit more on the juicier side than the drier side. Adding the sour cream made the tacos a 4/5.
  
  The service was prompt and friendly. And of course, my mango Jarritos was a delicious addition to the food. I enjoyed going there and I'd love to go back at some point to really comb through the grocery portion of the place and see what good finds I can discover. There seems like so much to taste, from Mexican candies to drinks to other snacks.

  Great little spot for tacos.  It's a little quirky of a location and you have to walk through a convenient store to get to the restaurant area.  Ordered the beef and chicken tacos, very good. Everything was fresh, good portion size and prices.  The food took a little while to come out, it was a little busy and they only had one person in the kitchen and one at the counter.  
  
  Overall it's a great spot for lunch or dinner. Service was friendly. The dining area is a little on the small side so takeout might be best.  Plenty of parking!
