Holy cow is this place off the charts for authentic Mexican food. It's in a strip center, so "behind the scenes type presentation" but the food of super flavorful and large portions. Start with homemade chips and salsa (red & green--try dots on a chip to start). The steak and potatoes is a large portion and a best seller. We picked enchiladas that was amazing (can get 4 or 6) $12 for 6. Beans are supreme and worth a side order if your meal doesn't come with it. Staff is very accommodating. I dropped my fork and another was brought quickly & I did t have to ask. They also have vegetarian options.

Yey! Happy we found this place. It is near our golf cart dealership, Evolution Superstore in Roanoke.We took our food to go because we had to open shop.Since it was a Saturday, we got to try their menudo.. yumminess! If you like menudo, get it at this place. It's legit. Flavorful soup and tripe was tender and bigger chunks than most placesWe also got Tacos - Al Pastor (pork) and Carne asada. Very good flavors and the meat is tender. Good sized tacos.The red and green sauce was also good.Service was also good.

Cute little place off 477 in Roanoke. I had been wanting to try place but I had not been able to make it. The service was great and the atmosphere was what you would expect from a local mom and pop shop. The food was good but nothing outstanding. Regardless, still a good place if you are in the area.

The food is very authentic and natural tasting. This is a great spot to stop in and grab to go orders, or dine in. Their red sauce and green sauce will make you keep coming back for more!! The customer service was phenomenal. My drink never emptied, and somehow my chip basket was miraculously always filled and hot! Value...... this place is priced accordingly. Great food, and a full breakfast for under $10! The ambiance is that of a "hole in the wall" hidden gem! I enjoyed this place.

Tried breakfast at Mil Amores today and it was delicious! We were immediately offered their hot chocolate with cinnamon. I can't quite describe it - it has a different flavor than the hot chocolate I am used to and it has a thicker consistency. I'd recommend you try it!I ordered a bean and cheese taco with bacon (not on the menu but they were happy to make it) and a ham, egg and cheese taco. I would definitely order each of them again. I topped them off with their green sauce and a little sprinkle of salt on the eggs and I was a happy girl!My fiancé ordered the breakfast burrito, which had eggs, cheese, potatoes and your choice of meat. He chose chorizo, which he said was excellent and not greasy, as some chorizos are. The potatoes were cut to just the right side and were cooked perfectly. One of the owners spent quite a bit of time talking with us about her home in Mexico and their desire to offer that "home cooked" food to others. It was such an interesting conversation, and I appreciate her willingness to share! This is not the Tex-mex you will see all over - it is unique and fabulous!

Tried this place this morning....morning tacos, I know. It was a celebration meal for being able to successfully go through the Texas driver license gauntlet.Tortillas: 4/5. They weren't homemade but were perfectly cooked.Meat: 5/5. Tried asada, pastor, and carnitas. The carnitas were out of this world. Definitely need to try these. Portions were larger than normal and I could barely eat the 4 tacos I ordered, which is unusual.Salsa: 4/5. Very tasty. Came in squeeze bottles. Tried the green and red salsas and both were good.Other: 5/5. Family owned restaurant. Mother cooks the food and daughter runs the tables and register. Great unique Mexican candies and a very very good atole (Mexican cinnamon hot drinking chocolate).
