Very good food and service. We had tacos that were dynamite and sauces with kick and flowers. Chips and salsa were spot on as my kids killed 3 cup’s. So if you are looking to feed the kids and have good food go here great seating room and parking is okay too. And price’s are fare.

This is one of those ‘hole in the wall’ places that you would not assume to be so good based on the external facade.

Great food, I enjoyed the salsa and the tacos I ordered. The chicharron meat is spicy, but the al pastor and chorizo were a great mild option for meat.

Every once in a while I find that hole in the wall that just makes you want to come back and try everything on the menu…… this place is it! Small whole in the wall restaurant that absolutely takes pride in the food they put in front of you. Every bite was delicious and filling. The food portion I had was well beyond my ability to eat it all but you can bet I tryed my hardest. If you are really hungry and want great food you won’t be disappointed glad I did!

It’s worth noting that we stopped in for a late lunch, and the place was packed – this place is the bomb! Whatever you decide to get, you will not be disappointed – each dish is served with the freshest ingredients.

Oh my GAWD even in take out they continue in banging out great quality food and service. I highly recommend coming here. The people are phenomenal and the food is mouthwatering. I ordered their chilaquiles with pollo and holy cow the beans were creamy the rice was scrumptious and the eggs were well done to perfection. Even all their sauces are out of this world

The Positive reviews must be from friends & family because it was not good at all. The Steak was ordered rear and it came well done. Both the steak & chicken was extremely thin it was like eating shoe leather. The steak in the burrito was chopped up into tiny little pieces and was mostly cartilage. It kept getting caught in between my teeth, so Plan to do some heavy Flossing after eating here.

When we got there we noticed that there was a lot of people but still sat down. There was a long line of carry out orders so one woman was busy taking them. However, we spent 15 minutes just to get chips and salsa. The guy that gave us the chips looked like he didnt even work there because he had on clothes that looked like he worked in contruction. However, not complaining cause he was the only nice one there that actually apologized for eveything being backed up. We spent the next ten minutes waiting for someone to even come over and check on us or say that someone will take our order shortly. I got up cause I realized that the take out order line was getting their food faster than we were even being acknowledged until a woman that worked there saw me get up and told me she would take our order shortly. She then finally took our order and so we waited. We waited for about 40 minutes. What made me mad was not the wait time, but the fact that people that came in after us and sat down were being served first before us and they were the same amount of people in our party or more. Anyways, while one of the women that worked there walked by, not even checking on the other tables to see if they needed anything, I politely asked if she could check on our food to see if it was almost coming because we have been waiting for an hour. She said that she knew we hadn’t been waiting for an hour. After maybe another ten minutes she comes back with our food and I had checked my life360 to see how long we had been there and we had in fact been waiting for and hour and ten minutes. I tell her this and that I have proof but all she says is that we shouldn’t say that because it scares away customers when they hear something like that. We quickly eat our food, pay, and leave. Overall, this restaurant has good food, but it’s customer service is horrible. Each time I come its like this and the only reason I keep coming back is because their food tastes good. We recieved no apology besides the one guy who had given us our chips and salsa. I left no tip and would recommend just getting takeout to not deal with their attitude.
