★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Veronica Leong · Feb 2026

Their tacos are not flavorful whatsoever. It's very dry and needs sauce, tomatillo, anything! The shredded radish is interesting, but doesn't provide any additional flavor. It'd be much better if the meat was a lot juicier and had more seasoning overall. I do like that they added parchment paper in between each taco so that they don't get too soggy. On the other hand, the loaded fries are pretty salty! Overall, I've had muchhh better tacos elsewhere. For the price, their food is not worth another visit from me, unfortunately.

I went in wanting to hate on the place, being that it looks so new and bougie. I thought it was an Americanized place with high prices…. I had the fish taco, birria taco, esquites and birria soup (consome) with a tamarind water. I spent around $35 bucks - and after eating, I was sad to admit I LOVED everything about this restaurant. The tacos came out and the tortillas smelled like a tortilleria in Cuernavaca Mexico. Freshly made and I would assume made in house. I complimented the staff, tipped accordingly and brought my girl in to try it shortly after my first visit - & she agrees! (Ps:we’re both Mexican) sooo lo and behold we have our new favorite Mexican spot in the neighborhood. You have to try it! I’ve only gone in person, never delivery- love the freshness!

Since 2025, I've noticed a drastic change in this place that used to be one of my favorites. The tacos have no flavor; they just put one tortilla , The tongue tacos used to be my favorite, but now they're undercooked and there are huge chunks in the taco that don't look appetizing. They removed my favorite dessert, ice cream with churros. I don't know what happened, but the change was enormous. I wanted to give it a second chance, but they definitely aren't making the effort to improve. I'll never go back to that place. Very disappointed.

Lengua taco was so juicy and tender. Guac also was fresh and full of flavor. Marco was very polite and provided great service. It was my first time and will definitely go back.

This place takes forever to do pick up orders. I ordered food for pickup via Uber Eats at 8:20 pm, and it was marked as "Ready" in the app at 9 pm. I walk in at 9:30 pm, because I've ordered pickup from this place before and it wasn't ready on time, so I figured I'd give them an extra buffer. When I tell them I'm there to pick up my food, they tell me it's ready "soon" - aka, "we just started making your food." I watched them serve a couple who walked in and ordered in person at 9:30 pm faster than me, which was honestly just insulting. Eventually at 9:50 pm I got my food. I don't understand why PICKUP orders take so long. The whole POINT of pickup is I give you advance notice I'm coming, and then I don't have to wait in person. If you're just gonna make my food when I walk in, what is eve
