★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Holly Di Grazia · Feb 2026

Worst first experience ever. It’s in the middle of winter- the AC is on. For a kids meal, nachos and 3 tacos it was $43! They said the kids meal included a drink and she specifically said Jarritos - nope charged $1.50 more for it. the Nachos were edible but so disgustingly sloppy. I told them I was allergic to cilantro and they Loaded my tacos with cilantro so I had to wait while everyone else ate their food so it didn’t get cold. The meat in the kids meal roll ups was hard and dry! Cheese was just thrown on the outside- ice cold not even melted. My tacos didn’t taste like birria at all. The consommé dip was so watered down and just loaded with raw onions. overall horrible experience. definitely not worth $43- we could have been nice and warm inside taco bell and gotten such better quali

Wow, so excited to have discovered this spot today. I’ve been trying to find my new go-to Mexican restaurant since moving to the area in June and I’m so thrilled to have finally found it! By far the best birria tacos I’ve had!! Carnitas were superb, the guac was so fresh and I appreciate the tasty sauces they had at the salsa bar, delicious. I’m your new regular!

New to the town, trying out this Mexican taco place, ordered the al pastor burrito bowl, the lady forgot my pineapple if i don’t remind her!!! Looked at grill pork in the bowl….all burned, I have to pick out the burned pieces from every single bite! My husband didnt like his carne asada taco either, the meat so dried! Definitely not a return customer for sure! —please dont make it sound like i never had mexican food before! No body like to burned charcoal pork!
