This place is perfect for people that don't know great Mexican food! That's why it's perfect for belmont shore area, I live around here but my parents are amazing cooks and I do know a little something about great Mexican food.

• Pros: If you love taco surf, you'll love this place!
• Cons: Just not that good! sorry.

Not authenic mexican food

by ava1979 at Citysearch

Anyone who considers this a good "Mexican Restaurant" has never had authentic mexican food. DO NOT order their Garlic Shrimp! The shrimps are low quality and small the sauce is not a garlic sauce. They throw a bunch of sliced garlic on the shrimps and then charge $18.95!!!, for the lunch portion. I also didn't appreciate one of the workers sweeping up right by our table while we were still eating, gross! I don't usually like dust and dirt, and who knows what else flying around in the air while I'm trying to eat. DO NOT RECOMMEND! I would like to recommend an actual Mexican restaurant though, it's called LA CAPILLA address: 4997 La Palma Ave, La Palma, CA 90623, phone number is: (714) 821-6191. I highly recommend their seafood specialties, they have HUGE high quality shrimps and do not skimp! I usually get the seafood enchiladas, 1 shrimp and 1 crab, and yes it is real crab! Delicious, give them a try!

Very Expensive

by Gixxer07 at Citysearch

My wife and I gave this restaurant a try. The place looks nice. It is not exactly elegant, but nice. There were other people there. Maybe a little more than half full. We ordered tacos and enchiladas with rice and beans. The food was pretty good. The service was good. The food was also good but somewhat expensive. The food was almost comparable too food that we have eaten at nicer restaurants. We might on occasion return to this place...might. It is just more expensive than we?d like to pay when we could go to better places for really good food at similar prices.

• Pros: The food is good.
• Cons: Too Pricey

Best Mexican food in the area!

The line outside will tell you what you need to know. Unlike Ferraro's next door, which is often empty, Enriques does a booming business. The reason? Great food and service at reasonable prices. Fish tacos are awesome, carne asada and carnitas burritos are huge and delicious... OK, everything is delicious.

• Pros: Great Mexican food
• Cons: Can be a long wait
