Customer Reviews
$20 for a burrito the size of a taco. Bro… are you serious?! The taste was okay, presentation was nice but 20 whole dollars (an hours worth of work for some people) for that little guy?!???! Nahhhhhhh, that ain’t it cuz. Bases off size and taste actual value is $8
My neighbor told about this place so, I was excited to try this place. Im Mexican, born in Mexico hoping to find another place to eat at besides Las Margaritas. So, I couldn't wait to try some authentic tacos. I'm sad to say my barbacoa beef tacos weren't flavorable. The tacos were made with the smallest flour tortillas. It didn't come with rice or beans which Id expected. It was 3 tacos for $15.50. We waited a very long time for our food (soft flour tortilla tacos). They must have been backed up with online orders. There's not much seating so, have one person in your party tell you what they want, so, they can get a table for you. The staff behind the counter was kind & friendly. Id come back to give it another chance.
I don’t ever feel the need to write a review but I feel ripped off. I’m always open to trying new places and always have an open mind. This was disappointing. I paid 58$ plus I tipped for to go. The rice wasn’t good and the birria tacos were so tiny I can’t believe it was 24$ for it. I can go to gallos and get 3 that taste so much better for 15$ on top of the that the picture of the guacamole and chips was misleading because the picture online looks so much bigger. I paid 11$ for maybe half and avocado. It was good but not worth 11$. I think the prices need to be looked over because you get what you pay for except I did not in fact get what I paid for.
This place has a simple menu that sticks to the basics, but does so with excellent quality. I came for a lunch break one day with a few other folks, and everybody was very pleased. The breakfast burrito (with chicken) and regular ground beef burritos were super flavorful, juicy, and satisfying. The salsa verde made mine even better. We waited about 20 minutes for our meals at noon. It's a relatively small place, but there was room to sit at that hour. I'd come back any day.
Nothing close to Mexican food at all but it’s not terrible. Pricey for small portions. If you enjoy gentrified tacos this is the spot. Simple salt & pepper most spice is from the hot sauce bar(which is pretty cool) but nothings really flavorful.
