Great little taqueria, good food options with decent pricing. We live up the street so we have been here a few times. It is a small shop so there’s limited seating availability. It is also just screened-in so there isn’t much air conditioning. The first time we came there were a lot of flies inside, but they were gone when we came back a few weeks later. The food is good albeit a little high priced. If you live in the area, it’s worth a try!

Sometimes, you need to remember what an old-fashioned taco stand felt like. A hard bench and a table for elbows.
The authentic taste of care delivered with pride. The carnitas were delicious, very lean and not overly salted. The refried beans were creamy and just like they should be. Generous portions of crema and avocado sauce. I ate enthusiastically and was very happy with my meal.

When they get it right, this place is so worth it. However, if you don’t speak Spanish, expect them to screw up your order. Ordering a Baby Carnitas Burrito, I confirmed the ingredients and was told, “rice, bean and cheese.” “And meat?” I asked? “I want a baby carnitas.” “Absolutely,” the waitress said.

Got home and ate half of the burrito (at first only getting rice), so I continued until an inch before I had finished and realized there never any meat added. It was just “rice, beans, and cheese.”

Lesson learned; I either have to speak fluent Spanish or go with someone who does.

Pretty good Mexican burrito stand. Used to be a little better. Clean establishment. Friendly and polite staff. Fast service. Could use some more outdoor seating. Good menu, but needs crispy tacos and taquitos. Convenient location and a tasty authentic Mexican option in a pinch.

Came to eat dinner. They were quick to service us. I would say this place is authentic if you’re looking for that authentic taste.

Pretty bummed to share about this bad experience, but I’d like to start with a positive that the nachos were good!
However we ordered to super burrito to go and when we got home we noticed there was no guacamole or sour cream so we called to let them know. I was hoping to go back and get another but the woman who answered argued that we just don’t see the guac or sour cream or that we ordered the regular burrito. She was pretty rattled up and the fact that she argued about it instead of trying to make it right was a turn off so I just counted it as a loss. Be careful when ordering burritos!

OK, time for a lame review. If I could give zero stars, I would.

This is sad to say, because I’ve been going here for years, even after the food quality went down, but then came back up.

So today I received really poor food service! I normally order my burritos without rice and beans because, I just like to have, in my opinion, an unadulterated burrito. That’s not just full of fluff. I ordered a super burrito that was 80% rice!

Just take a look at the picture, it’s only 2 inches in diameter and nothing but rice with a sliver of meat! The picture was taken after 3 or 4 bites of just rice, then after 4 more big bites, it was the same! Again sadly, this was my last visit. As I returned and requested my money back. $15 for what is basically a tortilla full of rice!

Obviously, there is nothing SUPER about it! Other than being SUPER disappointing!

Google doesn’t allow you to do an ‘update’ to your review.

That being said, I find it very interesting that when a negative review is posted, that MANY positive reviews are quick to follow.

Don’t be fooled!! This place will leave you extremely lacking a good Mexican food experience, unless you are Mexican….

Really good Al Pastor burrito. Get the regular and ask for no rice, add cheese. Really friendly guys and delicious guacamole. They also make amazing pickled veggies.

We were driving through the town and decide to have burritos. This is where locals will eat, so you know food is authentic and we found it to be very tasty. Their Pico & chips while simple were pretty good too. As a plus, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Please put aside expectations about the ambience, it is clean and good food
