This is my go to Mexican place. It's a bit dumpy to look at, but the food is terrific. Fresh pickled carrots, onions and jalapenos. Home made tomatillo salsa that is amazing and home made tortillas. This is a must for anyone looking for a delicious, authentic Mexican meal.
I like this place but the customer service is bad and yea they do take a long time to get your food and I hate there drive-thru
Good value. El Grullense is on my go-to list of Mexican taquerias as much due to location as anything else, but something I always appreciate here is that you get a good value on the basics. I often order a plate of tacos "Al Pastor" and peel off a few singles to pay the bill. Today, I splurged and spent $6.95 on the chimichanga plate. It comes with beans and rice, along with sour cream, guacamole and tomatoes. They also offer self-serve canned jalapeno/carrot/onion mix to add whatever level of spiciness you'd like, plus lime wedges for the taking. In short, this was enough food for two. Most chimichangas I've consumed are a bit firmer than this one - I would have preferred mine to sit in the oil just a tad longer as the shell was a bit on the soft side. But the shredded chicken filling was good and as I was in the mood for a no-frills meal, it was fine. I'd say there's nothing extraordinary about the food, but as noted in other reviews, it's popular with Hispanic customers and the staff is friendly.
