This place is the real deal for traditional Mexican food. Everything is fresh and made to order. This is a no frills place with dining tables in the front room and kitchen in the back. A small bar and counter suffices for ordering. The menu features their specialties with a good but not extensive selection. After placing your order at the counter you can grab any open table and get a drink if you like. Drinks are self serve from a group of beverage refrigerators lining one wall. They have a good selection of beer and sodas. A bottle opener hangs on a string from the refrigerator handle. Any drinks will be added to your final bill. The food was prepared well and very tasteful. Pricing is reasonable considering the bountiful portions. When we visited they were doing a pretty bris

very cozy and festive. not much conversation when stepping thru door or direction. no conversation or details regarding menu.Basically just looked at reviews to see what to order. carne asada tacos were good. quesadilla wasn't as expected came with fresh lettuce and diced tomatoes crema. a lot of food for the money.was really hoping to have this place as a "go to". but will check out others before trying this place again.

This place is so legit. They make their own tortillas and they have the best tripas! Rice and beans were also great.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Danielle Cozzola · Jul 2025

Sadly, this restaurant disappointed me. It appeared to be a "hole in the wall" small place that I'd have loved! The food did not match the look of the restaurant. There was no flavor, and I had to douse my food with the green salsa, which actually was decent. Saw a paleta cooler, but they looked to be store bought and not made in-house. Service was excellent, and the decor was nice. They had no sopes. 😭

★★★★★ 5.0 Autumn Byrd · Nov 2025

I love this place!!! I normally get chicken tacos or a beef huarache and both never disappoint. There are definitely times someone in the kitchen is lacking, but I feel most times I’m there I get the most perfect chicken or beef. I love the salsas they bring to the table as well, they’re an essential when trying the tacos, my personal favorite is the green one. Sometimes the music can be too loud or there are children running around, but it adds to the vibe and never annoys me. Such a delicious local taqueria, this is my place for a taco fix!
