Customer Reviews
The food is awesome! I buy prepared food and veggies here . The person (male) at the register NEVER says hello, all the time he is busy talking to coworkers and DOES NOT even say thank you. No saluda ni da las gracias el hombre en la caja registradora :( . The ladies shouting out the food numbers should say the numbers in English too. Los gringuitos no saben a aveces .
I was going to say best Mexican food I’ve ever had but it’s more than that, it’s the best food I’ve ever had, period. It was so good we came back two days in a row and I think the second day was even better than the first which seemed impossible. Not only is the food absolutely mouth watering incredible it’s also so cheap for 2025. I am only sad I didn’t know about it sooner.
9/18 back for dinner w/my friend. We both had the chicken burrito. Very good. I forgot to ask for black beans... Salsa bar is great! 6/8/25 finally made it here. It's been on my list for a year or so. Heard good things about the food from my local friends. I read several reviews and decided on the steak fajitas. The meat was really good and flavorful, had the slight char on it that just kicks it up a level. The onions and peppers were great too. Comes with 6 corn tortillas. Plus refried beans and rice. Reminder to self: ask for black beans instead of refried. My friend got a burrito (comes with rf beans and rice) she really liked it. We got a slice of tres leches cake, it was really good and a nice size too. Plenty of drink choices in the refrigerators. And on the store side, in the
Visited this restaurant last month during lunch hours. Service was smooth and the atmosphere felt relaxed. Food tasted fresh and was served hot. Would recommend if you’re in the area.
Nice staff, relaxed atmosphere, and delicious food! I had a quesadilla with ground beef, and my boyfriend had a burrito. Oh, the chocolate tres leches cake was to die for!
