Excellent food and service

Two for one taco Tuesdays! I’m glad we came for this special because the prices were pretty steep at ~$9 PER taco. The asada and lengua tacos were amazing, tender and juicy. Their salsa was also very good; avocado salsa and a spicy salsa. Every order comes with a basket of tortilla chips as well.
The tripa with was crispy and amazing.
I didn’t like the birria and shrimp tacos very much. I think it was because the cheese they used was shredded cheddar or something it tasted very tex-mex.

One food was missing from the talkout order but the manager was refused to refund the food and didn’t take responsibility for the mistake they made. Also, the manager hanged up the phone rudely.

Great authentic mex eats! Easy parming. Great service. A little rough on decor, so reminds me of Mexican eateries in Mexico. The staff are Mexican. Muy delicioso! Gracias!

Terrible experience that happened today November 23rd, 2025 at exactly 1:45 pm. No mention of any kind of reservation list but I could clearly see there are tables that needed cleaning and we would have been seated. Instead I'm told there's magical ppl on some list (lies), meanwhile my wife orders takeout since we were told a seat would take 20 mins. So in comes a family of 4 right after us, the boy goes to the counter and said table for four please. And sure enough they got the table that I saw was open earlier. Foods decent, price is right but man figure out how your gonna run the place when it gets busy. Never worth being lied to as a customer. Don't recommend as a first timer. Border burrito better for the service, speed and none of the bs.

Always enjoyed the food here. The service leaves much to be desired. Tried to go on a Sunday and put our name on the list thinking that the server was paying attention to the list. While we were waiting, 3 other people came that were not on the list. The server came and asked who was next and sat the 3 that came after us. Train your staff!

The best tacos in Lower Mainland. I had the monster burrito several times and it was always served cold. That’s why only 4 stars.

Overall the food is delicious, I’ve been here a few times already and I always enjoy eating the tacos, tortas, enchiladas, and a lot more; although last time I was here I ordered a shrimp taco for the first time and I was very disappointed… two SMALL pieces with a minimal taste and filled with bunch of onion and cilantro… meet and veggie tacos are definitely more worth it.
Also… HOW IS IT THEY DON’T HAVE MEXICAN glass COCA COLA???? Unforgivable!
And when I tried the mango margarita I realized is made out of a mango juice box, that takes away all the good taste :(

Absolutely love everything about this place! The only thing I dont like is that sometimes you need to wait a long time to get seated but that is only because this place is popular and amazing!
