Food: Grease-laden mercantile

Karina's Mexican might shine in the 'Best Tacos' competition with its Tacos de Tripas, Carne Asada Soft Taco, and Al Pastor Taco. You'd hope for an exquisite palate pleasure, yet the greasy, poor-quality food is just like any other Mexican joint you'd come across. The meat might be generous and well-seasoned, but the perceived lack of freshness is a taste-dulling disappointment. This place doesn't exactly redefine 'creative Mexican cuisine'.

  • Okay Taste

    Food tastes good, though it's similar to other local Mexican joints.

  • Low Quality

    Greasy, bad quality food, perceived lack of freshness.

Perks: Service overshadowed by mediocrity

The staff, as pleasant as they might be and as fast as they serve, can't quite make up for the restaurant's lackluster performance on the more essential fronts. Eating at Karina's Mexican is like reading a book with a fantastic cover but monotonous content. Timely service doesn't compensate for a lack of culinary imagination and quality.

  • Great Service

    Very friendly staff and fast service creates an exceptional dining experience.
