Delicious quesabirra and just about everything else. Knocking off two stars because of their beans, almost zero seasoning they are whole beans in the canned liquid. the rice was just okay, I did not like the cheese on the beans either it tastes very similar to blue cheese, some might like it 🤷 all in all I really like this place and it’s my go to, but geez if your a Mexican place you gotta have good beans that’s a non negotiable.

Their crunchy tacos and birria ramen are easily my favorites. The music always sets a great vibe, and I love the cool hand-drawn artwork around the order window. Such a fun spot!”

Absolutely delicious food!
We purchased two meals with a side of beans and rice.
1.California burrito with pork was so good I wanted to steal it!
2. My street tacos were so delicious, fresh, and filling! New favorite place to get tacos from!
3. Beans and rice were delicious, moist, and they read our tiny delivery note about wanting more cheese! Very attentive service and all around great!
