"Great place to get all-you-can-eat tacos?! The cost is $19.99/person. You had a live DJ spin electronically latin songs?. Beer? Garden with clean outdoor seating for couples or larger groups. Our party of 5 sat outside and we enjoyed the experience. The Taco bar has four proteins in: chicken ?, pork ?, chicharrone (Pigskin), and mixed (stripe). I was surprised that they were missing the traditional Carne Asada. I prefer Al Pastor, so I was a little disappointed. The cook takes your order, dips street-sized tortillas in oil and heats it on the grill, and then puts the protein of your choice on the tortillas. They put the spices like red onion, Zilantro, beans, radishes and salsa. They had a green and a red salsa. The reason not to give 4 or 5 stars was to a limited protein selection (missing carne asada or al pastor). Also the chicharrons had a chewing (hard to eat) texture, and the mixed had trips and other things in it that I did not like. The other thing that really turned me and some of us was the fact that the cook dipped the tortillas into the oils of boiled proteins before it on the grill. We have not preferred this because the tacos became too oily and really scary to eat. The oil sits in your stomach and doesn't feel good. It also prevents you from eating more tacos than you think you would eat because the oils fill your belly. I would suggest they don't, and then I'd go back for the AYCE-Tacos. Otherwise I would order from the regular menu. The waitress was helpful and the ambience was beautiful. The beer garden was spacious and clean. In the night at 18:00 it will be cold outside, so highly recommended to bring a jacket?. Thanks to Los Moles for a good experience."

"If I like something, I tend to order the same thing over and over again until I truly need a break. I've ordered the Margherita Pizza and Fried Traditional Wings three times in a row. The first time I ordered, I was so delighted. I got the Margherita Pizza because I like Margherita Pizza, but also because you can generally taste how good a kitchen's tomato sauce and dough is when it's simple. And, the Margherita Pizza here definitely got my reorder! There's not a huge amount of tomato sauce on top, but just enough that it balances out with the cheese and the tomatoes on top. They are just the right softness, and your taste buds are met with the delightful mix of cheese, tomato and basil. There's a layer of cheese on the pizza, then the ones they place daintily on top of the tomatoes. I'm usually not a fan of baked tomatoes, but they make it somehow that I can't help but love these tomatoes. The crust is not crunchy but has a satisfactory bite to it and is really soft on the inside, like freshly baked bread (makes sense given that it's made out of dough). I am usually not a big chicken wing fan, but after reading some reviews I decided I needed some. The wings were delicious too! You can bite through the crunchy outside and sink your teeth into the soft juicy meat inside, and roll it over your tongue as the flavor spreads throughout your mouth. They are not too strongly flavored so you can still taste the meat, which was perfect for me. After having a wonderful experience with my first order, I eagerly made another order the next time I really needed some good food to brighten my day. Excited to have that wonderful experience I opened the box and... and... was crestfallen. Half of my dozen wings were about 2 inches long with very little meat. I know some things happen and I tried very hard not to be disappointed but couldn't help it. I didn't actually cry because I am an adult now, but the child in me was holding back tears while I ate what meat I could off the bones and munched on the pizza. It was like when you accidentally let go of your balloon. I hadn't felt like that in a long time. Anyway, despite the wing portions, they both still tasted great. I was disappointed enough that I did debate whether I should get the wings again after that, but I figured I could leave that decision for one order later. I braced myself for the worst, but the wings in my third order were thankfully very fat and plentiful, and I was happily forcing myself to eat slower. I usually buy enough for more than one meal, but I like them so much I end up eating two meals worth as soon as I get them. Although both are best fresh, they still taste great when you reheat it in an oven toaster. Happiness for days! Rundown: The Margherita Pizza and Fried Traditional Wings both taste great, but if you are unlucky you might get tiny portions for the wings."
