Ok so as someone who is very critical of her Mexican food, I can say for sure this will be my new go to spot for mexican food. Juices were made fresh to order. My margarita was delicious and strong. Food was very fresh. (See pics below for food). Wait time was a little bit longer than usual but we were enjoying our drink and chips while we were waiting. Food was worth the wait. Pizza was ok, again this is a Mexican restaurant not an Italian one so pizza isn’t on my priority of critic for this review. However my kids did enjoy it and finished all of their LG pizza. Definitely worth it. Stop for birria tacos, stay for the drinks. Prices were also very decent both food and drink.

Definitely worth it! We were passing through the area I almost didn’t stop it looks like a small corner bar from outside. As soon as we stepped inside we were greeted warmly. We sat at the bar and ordered beer and tacos. I got Al Pastor and my husband ordered Birrea. Food came out quickly the Al Pastor was really good and my husband said the Birrea is the best he has had. The beer was cold! Everyone was friendly and I was very comfortable, I would stop again. The prices are also very good.

It used to be a really good place. They should’ve never changed the menu items that were there prior. They should’ve stuck with the original pizza and everything else. I see it really went downhill since it was sold. Sad because we used to eat there almost every single day and my family and now we never go there. You should’ve all just left the food the way it was I mean, yeah add in your Latin Mexican food is great, but you really should’ve kept the original food the same this is why your star and reviews are so low probably I don’t know but good luck and God bless. I think you should go back and contact Bernie again and get his recipes again.

First time trying it and it exceeded my expectations 10x. Excellent Mexican food and the owner was extremely pleasant and carried a great conversation. Would definitely recommend

Debated on 1 or 2 stars, ended up going with 2 just because the girl up front is friendly. As for food, it was bad. I got chicken fingers and fries and the chicken fingers were soggy and floppy, but they also tasted more like fish than chicken. Like maybe they deep fried the chicken fingers after deep frying fish. Was probably one of the worst things I’ve tasted, unfortunately. I only got from here one other time and it’s just not worth spending money for the food you receive. Seriously running out of places to get food from in this town.

I was so hoping it would taste like Ruts garbage pie but they did try. The workers were very nice.

Saw another comment about nasty food that isn’t fresh and that is true. My family and I got chicken and beef empanadas and a pizza. Chicken empanada was edible not great but edible but the beef one tasted like play doh like rancid oil really gross. The pizza was not as good as ruts definitely tasted off sauce tasted weird but that might be because of the gross empanada taste in my mouth

Food was nasty and not fresh at all. Place is dirty and the young girl was rude because I took the food back and asked for my money back. She asked why, I said it’s not fresh at all and it didn’t taste very good, she argued that it’s fresh which it was not. I’m guessing the only 2 good things are Ruts recipe, chicken and pizza.

if you are going expecting to get ruts pizza you will be disappointed. They use a blend of cheese, something Bernie rut didnt do. Bernie used ONLY fresh whole milk mozzarella…nothing else. The pizza is waaaaay off point.

Fresh authentic Mexican food! Family owned delicious tacos and empanadas. Of course they still sell the original garbage pie. Definitely going back.
