I’ve had the pleasure of dining at El Tesoro Mexican Grill multiple times, and each visit has been outstanding. The food is consistently delicious, and the customer service is top-notch. The owners are always present, actively helping out and assisting with a genuine, family-oriented touch. During my latest visit, I was even offered a beverage to enjoy while I waited, which was a thoughtful gesture that made the experience even better. My favorite dish is the ACP—Arroz Con Pollo. It features perfectly seasoned grilled chicken, Mexican rice, and a creamy cheese sauce that is simply irresistible. Additionally, their queso and chips are to die for! The queso is incredibly creamy and flavorful, and the chips are always fresh and crisp. I’d give them a 10/10 for being very yummy! El Tesoro Mexican Grill truly stands out for its excellent food and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

This was so disappointing, the pictures online look so good but the food in person was not it. I ordered a burrito and tamale to go and didn’t receive the tamale so I can’t comment on that. The burrito was absolutely massive but looked nothing like the photos. It was a mess of rice and meat with virtually nothing else until the very end, where the rest of the toppings were. I would give this place another shot because of all the good reviews but I definitely wouldn’t get the tinga burrito again. I’ll update if I decide to go back.

I’ve nothing but good things to say about this place. Friendly, helpful staff and really good food. I’ve had the Birria tacos and the California bowl. Both were excellent and fresh. Prices are fair for the quality of the food you’re getting(I hope that doesn’t change as people start discovering this place). Noye: Try the cucumber\lemon water if you get the chance as well. This place is an absolute go.

The food and experience here was awesome! The staff is very kind and helpful. Clean restaurant and easy ordering. The food was delicious!! I had to chimichanga plate and love the portions and taste of everything. That plate was clean by the time I left! Highly recommend! They also have breakfast burritos

So yummy! Our first trip here, we got quesabirria tacos 9/10, al pastor burrito (huge! Couldn't barely finish it) 7/10, chips n queso and horchata 10/10. Seriously the best horchata we've found in the area. Would definitely recommend. Not much seating so probably best to order to go or grab a table outside if available.
