There really is no reason for some of the most processed ingredients in the cuisine world to be so expensive, and that’s what it is here. If the cuisine was gourmet, using top notch ingredients then I would understand but the truth is they are not. Many of the ingredients comes from cans and jars. If the prices were balanced with the ingredients I’d say it’s a bargain being the service is good. Also, there are literally 4-5 televisions at the bar in the back, distracting diners from their company and fare. All televisions playing the same sport. Sensory overload. Take pride in your establishment, serve stellar dishes that truly represents the beauty of Mexico and traditions of the land. Refried beans from a can isn’t celebrating the traditional ingredients of our southern brothers and sisters. Give me some mesquite smoked prickly pear and authentic mezcal of Oaxaca. One of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve ever had and by far the worst in fairbanks. Went on a Thursday night and all of their tables were full which was fine because I was still able to sit at the bar. The bartender took around 10 minutes to give us a menu and say hi but poured many drinks for others right infront of me spilling multiple times. Took 50 minutes to get our two tacos and a enchilada. The beef was completely unseasoned. There was a party of 5 in the back which took all three servers they had that night to attend to them. My wife ordered the house margarita and it tasted like dish soap. The couple that was next to us that was there before us never got their food and tried to pay for their beer and leave. They were told the food would be free but to wait 5 minutes for it because it was already done. After 10 minutes of waiting for the food they just left. The staff did say sorry to us for taking so long and gave my wife a free shot of tequila. We will never be back. SO GOOD! Their potato tacos, flautas, margaritas and beef tacos are AWESOME. Leaning a bit towards street food, it's a dark cave perfect for drinks, pregaming, tapas, or just dinner with kids (it's got music/tv going, they aren't going to disturb people). Love it, it's so cute and their food is great! My husband's plate was a disgrace. Beans were crusty and "tortilla was expired. The rice was dried out and the meat was dry and unseasoned. Needless to say we didn't pay or even eat what we were served. I wish Alaskans can experience an authentic plate from my country. Quiet. Non smoking. Very good food. Excellent drinks. It may be an out of the way place to visit, but you get more food and drink for your money.
