Okay I’ll start here, I ordered nachos cause online it looked loaded with a bunch of toppings and looked really good. The only thing I asked them was salsa on the side (which they did) the plate however was the most plain nachos I’ve ever seen, no toppings, There were chips (stale tasting), beans, cheese and barely any meat. Not to mention the meat taste old and really really fatty. The salsa was sour and most definitely old. Such a disappointment. They really just slopped it together. Now I’m just hoping I don’t get food poisoning. WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!

Place has been remodeled. Looks clean and great designs. Kinda wish the menu was a little more organized, but can't complain. So we are here for the food and I have to say I've only tried the Birria Tacos and the Quesadilla. Good flavor from the Tacos, delicious spicy salsa to be complimented with the meal. The Quesadilla is your typical one with cheese and your choice of meat with lettuce, tomatoes on the side. Overall its a pretty nice place, great atmosphere and good location. I still recommend going back, after all we all have a different taste but this place is totally worth it to be checked out.

The menu says for the vegetarian burrito that is only has rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, onions, cilantro, and salsa... it did NOT say lettuce and tomatoes, or I would have removed them from the burrito. Not making what someone paid for per your own advertisement is super freaking lame and it is one of the most irritating things on the bleeping planet....it is NOT HARD to simply make what the menu says you will be getting without adding things it clearly does not state it has in it, oh and btw if you want to spend 10 min picking almost half the meat out of your asada taco that is actually disgusting gristle (which you discovered by biting down on it gag!) and fat pieces then this is the place for you....but if you don't want to spend time wondering which part seemed like a bigger waste,

The food was good with a mix of authentic Mexican food and some Americanized options with tater tots and fries in burritos.
