As good as it gets. Real authentic food with perfect portions. Waitstaff was great, and the food was brought out with perfect timing. Could not recommend this place enough. Skip the fast food/chain restaurants, try Tenampa! We'll be back!!

We stumbled across this place and were pleasantly surprised. The owners were extremely nice and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the creamy chipolte sauce on whatever you order. My only suggestion is they should offer a spicer salsa with the chips when you first sit down. I will definitely be back!

Ordered through grubhub and food was great. Not many food delivery options in the area. Great that I am able to order through delivery service. Price and portion size were good. Many menu options and choice of proteins.

I've been eating here for a long time. I was so heartbroken when the Brick location closed years ago, but it hasn't stopped me from going out of my way to get great Mexican at this location. It is definitely worth the extra effort because I haven't been able to find a local place to beat it. I Always order the enchiladas tricolor, enchiladas suizas, and the choriqueso. Salsa and rice and beans are tasty as well.

Decided to pick my order up. Everything was delicious and not to spicy just wish when I brought it home it was still hot. In the pictures there is tri color enchiladas, 3 hard shell tacos with chicken and steak and 2 trays of refried beans. They even gave chips with salsa. I will definitely be returning here.
