Customer Reviews
A wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and truly authentic. We ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious, we had no complaints at all. The birria tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had, rich, juicy, and incredibly authentic. The molcajete of mixed meats was impressive, perfectly seasoned, and great for sharing. The street corn was fresh and flavorful, and the enchiladas were especially delicious, definitely one of the highlights of the meal. We also ordered a burrito, a chimichanga and carnitas to go, and were packed professionally to still hot. The camarones a la diabla had a great spicy kick, and the fresh lemonade was refreshing. Ossiel, our server, was excellent, attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even be
I was really excited to try this place, but unfortunately the chicken tacos were extremely bland and tasted completely unseasoned. I did not even finish them, which is rare for me. Hoping this was just an off day.
09/19/25: Stopped by for 2 orders of Chicken Fajita to go. Taste was great and portion size was LARGE. Excellent food! 09/25/2024: First time visit for lunch for my wife & me: OUTSTANDING! The restaurant is clean, well laid out. The service was prompt & friendly, and the food was the BEST Mexican I've enjoyed in a long time!
I had never been here before and tonight was my first time of many future visits. I walked up to the building to find the experience started before you get inside as the smells waft from the kitchen right out to the parking lot. The place was lit up and packed and everyone looked in high spirits. They got me sat down quickly and the menu was colorful and full of fun pictures and my waitress was so sweet and had a cool hairstyle. The food literally blew me away. The cheese was melted and had so much flavor. I've never had a meal be a fun experience before but tonight everything was new and delicious and fun. I could rave forever but I will end this by saying this place is my new mom.
My Al Pastor meal had no pineapples in it. I showed my waitress the inside of the food and she said there is pineapple in it. She claimed the cheese was actually pineapple. Do you see pineapple. I’ll show a picture. There is No Pineapple!! They never tried to fix their mistake either. How do you forget the key ingredient?
