I love this place Fresh and delicious food ! Huge variety of different meats and flavors you can put on any Authentic tacos Made with fresh home made corn tortillas! I get the “Sope” that has a thicker corn tortilla and Reminds me of polenta almost, it’s amazing when eaten fresh and in house It’s crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, I got the “Cecina” (salted beef) with lettuce, crema and the avocado on top is great. Also highly recommend the burritos I got the chicken burrito, The rice and beans, peppers, guacamole and cheese is always fresh and it’s pretty huge Best value for real food around hands down Try a “fruit water” aka agua de Frutas I got tamarind… it’s awesome, brought back memories of childhood Awesome place Try it out

Service is great at this authentic Mexican restaurant. Food quality is above average but could be a little better; meats are lower quality and prepared a little strangely in that they are minced. Everything is fresh, though, as is the creamy guac and tasty homemade salsa. Pretty good considering the area is a bit of a food desert! Would recommend above other options for sure.

This place is super cute. Enough parking. The chips and salsa weren’t fresh not my favorite. The mango margarita wasn’t so flavorful. My homegirl had the chicken tacos and loved it. I had shrimp tacos and I loved mine. Very flavorful and the green sauce was perfect. The customer service could haven been better she didn’t look up once I couldn’t even order a different drink. She never brought water.I would order to go next time

A gem. My daughter and I went after my wife happened upon this place. Very authentic decor and nice music for excellent atmosphere as you walk in. The server got to us right away, told us about the specials (Birria tacos and chimichangas), gave us menus and asked us our drink request. Very clean! Also Bathroom was Very clean! We looked over the menu and decided on tacos. Shrimp, flank steak, chicken, and Birria tacos. As we were looking over the menu, our server brought us chips and salsa, which were very good. And then, WOW! They came with onion and. Cilantro, the tacos and the Birria tacos, which came with a red sauce and guacamole. Mmmm😋. My daughter and I couldn’t get enough. Absolutely delicious. Just a great place, with a great server, and comfortable atmosphere that felt like home a

From our experience, we enjoyed the food, the only dish that we did not enjoy was the stake, it was not prepare at the point. However the tacos were amazing!! That is a win also the Enchiladas,one of the best enchiladas that I have had. Maybe their specialty are the tacos, enchiladas, fajitas because we notice that those are the most popular dishes. If we comeback we will ask for the tacos, enchiladas, fajitas and maybe just one new dish just to try and let you know how was it. The waitress was very kind, however there is a guy, that I think was mad when we asked for the stake to cooked it properly. Conclusión, great place, great decoration, great tacos, great enchiladas, I am not giving them 5 stars only for the stake that was not good. Will I comeback? Yes.
