★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 All Pink Dreams · May 2025

Very unprofessional, had an issue with an order I placed for pick up and they blamed it on the chef. I ordered 3 taco dinners and 3 tacos, paid $63!! Instead of handling the issue or admitting their mistake, the lady was blaming everyone but herself (SHE WROTE THE ORDER DOWN)… the worse thing about it is she said I ordered 2 of the taco dinners with just cilantro, onion and avocado yet one of them didn’t even have cilantro🤔 They’re always rude and noncompliant when they know they are wrong, overcharge and are racist, it’s always an issue to be honest. Never returning to this unprofessional establishment!! You’re better off going to a taco truck💯

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Waite · Jul 2025

It's one of my favorite 🇲🇽 restaurants in town. Every dish I've had there has been delicious. The staff are very friendly. Today's chile rellanos were a bit different than ice had at other places, smothered in a tomatoe based sauce with peppers, celery, onions, and tomatoes. Wonderful combo. They gave me a complimentary steak tostada because there was only one rellano instead of two. Their large horchatas are massive! On some lunch days, musicians will come in and play. I love how it's kind of hidden in a neighborhood.

Great food and service. This establishment accepts both cash and card. I came across a search that mentioned that this establishment only accepts cash so I thought I'd help clear that up. Great food and Great service. You can't go wrong here
