4.5 rating Had a Carne Asada taco combo with Beans and Rice. Tacos came on Flour tortillas NOT corn Plenty of Carne Rice was OK Beans were real good made with bacon fat Salsa was hot and tasty

Had the birria, absolutely outstanding! Perfect heat, perfect consomme to meat ratio. The restaurant was very clean. Servers were nice and personable, however in the 90 minutes we were occupying the table, no one came back to check to see if we needed water refills, or how the meal was after it was placed. (Food was on point, but I would have liked more ice water.) Eventually a server came to take the plates away. Prices are fair, considering the cost of meat, but a very small bowl of birria was $11. Would I buy it again, hell yeah! Highly recommend if you have family or guests in town. SO GOOD!

Excellent machaca breakfast. Fast service. Clean. Not wheelchair accessible. Very small parking area. Reasonable prices. Great hrs, they open at 4 am. Highly recommend if no parking park next door or across from Denny's.

★★★★★ 5.0 Robert Barr · Dec 2024

The real deal. Generous portions. Unbelievable flavor. Reasonable prices. Cute waitress 😍

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Vincent King · Jun 2021

Packed, double parked, LOL, I had to wait to have the owner of the car behind me let me out! Locals love it, that's obvious. I got the huevos Mexicana, so so. Also got a cup of Menudo to go, that was some of the better I've had, I can recommend that. I think it's worth another visit just based on the clientele. Lunch or dinner I think. Prices are reasonable. Parking, parking is key. Also brush up on my Spanish, it's obvious I'm mediocre at best.
