★★★★☆ 4.0 Matthew Keller · Feb 2026

Great food, the sauces are a bit too spicy for my liking but my friend loved it. We had tacos and the tortillas and juices were good. Lady who served us was very friendly. I'd recommend it. To friends who like spicy red/green sauces.

★★★★★ 5.0 Joseph Felton · Feb 2026

Incredible food and even better service! The tacos are 100% authentic and took me straight back to Mexico. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Marcus Conceicao · Dec 2025

We ordered the beef head tacos, mexican style rabbit, shrimp fajitas, and 2 strawberry milkshakes. The tacos are very good and were my favorite part of the meal. The rice and beans were good, but my rabbit meat was a little dry and tough. The shrimp fajitas only had 4 shrimps in the whole plate. The food was not as good as I was hoping, but we went on a busy Friday night and I could tell the cooks were working very hard, the grill cook especially. The servers were nice. I would certainly give them another chance, but maybe on a less busy day and only for tacos.

★★★★★ 5.0 Carmen Garrido · Jun 2023

Authenticity is the key stone of the food here and we’re delighted with our selections. Place is really busy and the smell of the food makes me really hungry. Food was served quick and very tasty.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Valen Costa · Jan 2026

This place only tastes good when you’re completely drunk. If you’re sober, don’t bother. The food is disgusting, the place is dirty, and there were roaches everywhere. Definitely not worth it and not somewhere I’d ever return.
