Customer Reviews
I went there for the first time with my boyfriend yesterday and it was a intresting experience. The girl that was up at the front taking orders was nice but she really didn’t seem to know anything about the menu and just kept referring us to the screen. We ended up ordering 2 burritos and the loaded nachos, the total was around $50 after tax so not too bad for today’s economy. They made the food really fast, maybe about 10 mins in total. We went up to grab the food and just from looking at it I was unsure. The nachos literally only had barely melted cheese, tons of sour cream and a good amount of chicken, but nothing else you would expect in LOADED Nachos. No tomatoes, no onion, no cilantro, no guacamole, no queso sauce nothing. You have to walk up to there to the “salsa bar” and pick fr
Ive eaten at this place dozens of times, and honestly this place has grown on me. I mostly get it to go. But the last two times ive eaten inside the restaurant and the food was better eaten hot fresh-immediately. I usually get the classic tacos. They are more like what you make at home think (old el paso ground beef tacos) But its seasoned well, beans and rice cooked well and i think the tacos hit. I enjoy it very much. I also like the shrimp tacos the baja sauce is amazing and shrimp are never overcooked. Left off a star because the tortilla chips are horrible here they taste stale and like the fryer. and they use styrofoam for everything.
I've been to a couple of Mexican restaurants in the surrounding area you're better off spending your money at El Sol Deli or El Gallo Dorado. The food is really expensive here you don't get a bang for your buck. The burrito was subpar at best, Chips lack salt , the Salsa Verde had 0 flavor. Your money is better spent across town. I mean they are essentially selling tacos at 6 bucks a pop that's insane.
Owner runs the register, she's very nice. Menu is varied. Everything is made fresh to order. Most expensive item is the chicken fajitas $12.49 (9/2021). I had the chicken chimichanga, came with spanish rice, black beans, chips and salsa from the salsa bar ($11.49). It was so good, I ordered the chili lime salad to go for lunch tomorrow, they separated the hot stuff and packed it to go without asking, nice touch! Grubhub and Door Dash friendly. They're across from Home Depot and next to the Shell gas station.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!! i go there almost every day. i personally think the beef empanadas are the best. the workers are always very friendly. 11/10 STARS!
