What a great place this hole in a wall mom and pops site packs quite the flavor punch. The location is small colorful, and unique. The arroz camaron was an extraordinary dish! I will definitely be a back very soon. The drinks were excellent and robust, left me stumbling! Everyone working in there was friendly and attentive to my needs!

Really glad we came across El Mexsal Authentic Latin Food! Even during takeout only, the people were very friendly and made the experience as normal as possible. The food was still nice and warm 10 minutes later when we made it home and got the food onto our plates. We will be trying this place again for sure!

The good: We got a steak burrito, Gordita, taco, pupusa and tortilla soup. Highly authentic Mexican food. Everything was delicious!

We dined in. I ordered enchiladas & they tasted like they had been in a refrigerator for 4 days & then microwaved. Food came out at room temperature & the tortillas weren’t even cooked.

I stopped by with my husband for a sweet dinner date. The owner was super nice. He is clearly pouring his soul into this place. The food was incredible. The chips come with a lovely salsa AND super good bean dip. We ordered enchiladas and a chimichanga; both we incredible! We were allowed to try the homemade vanilla coconut flan with dulce de leche, too, which was incredible. We will definitely be going back because the menu has so much more we want to try. Everyone should support this business. But be warned, the food is cooked fresh, so you have to wait a bit for it. Regardless, service was excellent.

Great Food and Cocktails. The food tastes like a home cooked meal. Service was also excellent. Will be going there again.

First time ordering here. I got 2 tacos which were okay, a steak burrito that didn’t have any steak in it and a chicken quesadilla that came with rice and peas inside but no chicken. Completely disgusted and disappointed.

Food was very flavorful and amount you get is amazing! But only downfall for me is the protein to rice ratio. Another scoop would made the plate perfect.

I ordered catering from here for a work meeting and let me tell you…. it was FANTASTIC! Everyone, and I mean everyone, raved about the food, the taste, quality, deliciousness of the food. I ordered pupusas and taquitos with chips and salsa.
