    This was my first time ordering. I ordered online and picked up my order. It was completed, packed up and ready to go. I actually in and out in way less than 5 minutes (with everything needed for an enjoyable, tasty meal! I noted that there was plenty of seating, and I could have eaten there, and that the staff was quick, efficient and friendly. My food was well prepared and well packaged for the trip home. There were good size servings and the food was delicious! I highly recommend El Folklore De Mexico, and yes I would eat there again!

    I eat in here for lunch at least once a week, the food is excellent. The red and green sauces are amazing. I can’t say I am a fan of the Nopales en Escabeche, since I can never get a substitution I normally throw them away.

    After 20+ years in Arizona, we've struggled to find good Mexican food on the East coast. Short answer, Folklore was good, but not great. Caveat: chicken enchiladas are my test food. Others seem to have better experiences with different dishes, so we might go back and try something else. The good: lime margarita with Tajin on the rim was delicious and well priced. That almost pushed this review to 4 stars. Chips were hot, crispy, and tatsy. Staff was friendly, and it wasn't busy on a Monday night so we were checked on regularly and lacked nothing. Portion sizes were larger than expected and made for a good value (4 enchiladas with rice and beans included). Presentation looked great. The not so great: salsa was too tomato-saucy. We went through 2 bowls of it, but mainly because the chips were so good. The red sauce on the enchiladas was kinda bland. The chicken is diced, rather than shredded, which made for a less desirable texture (personal preference). The lights are too bright. While it's very clean in the restaurant, the atmosphere feels less inviting and you can tell you are in a strip mall. There was nothing bad about our experience, just nothing that matched the 4.8 star overall review that we were expecting going in.
