The store front is so fun. The food is amazing. Ordered a chicken burrito and it did not disappoint. Excited to try the rest of the menu!

Authentic and delicious food and friendly service! Steak tacos and chicken burrito were amazing, and the guac was some of the best I’ve had. Support this local gem!

Excellent, authentic & very delicious birria tacos & burritos! Run by a pleasant, helpful & attentive staff. I also really enjoyed the coconut water drink with bits of raw coconut & they have a good selection of Mexican & American drinks. The chairs are ok but the bar style tables are too narrow against the wall to eat comfortably. Hopefully they will improve that asap because eating your food while it’s hot at time of purchase is preferred by many. Otherwise cute place & we will order here again. Family owned. Very clean. Reasonable pricing. Much needed addition to the area offering healthier food options! Try the delicious birria tacos just once & you’ll be hooked!

Tried it for the first time last night I loved it super fresh Tons of flavor I was undecided if I liked the chicken being that chopped up in the burrito but it could just be the way they do things I will be back for sure

Mexican food is my atmosphere, and this place is perfect. It is family owned, and the food was amazing. The service was top-quality and I got my food very quickly. One thing I love about Mexican restaurants is the amount of sauces that they put and this place did not shy away. They gave me at least three sauces for my tacos. The staff was super friendly, and it is my new favorite place.
