Quite possibly the best steak nachos I've ever had! Try the pale green spicy sauce. It's transformative! Friendly staff, prompt service. I will be returning!

This place is so good! It's a little hole in the wall restaurant. They have a limited menu, but what they do serve is so delicious! I had their asada tacos and my sister had their asada fries. Everything was bomb, and their guacamole is especially amazing. Our server was on the ball and super sweet as well. Definitely recommend this place.

Stopped by here not knowing what to expect since it was a prior Mexican restaurant and was not good. I got a Carne Asada burrito it was huge and super tasty. The meat was well seasoned and tender the rice and beans were perfect and the light sour cream was outstanding. I got free chips and salsa that were hand made and their salsa was fresh and tasty. I wish they made a super spicy red sauce. Check this place out you will like it. Next time I am going to try the street tacos

My friend and I enjoyed the carne asada tacos for dinner tonight. Their handmade tortillas are really good and I'll be back to try their Carnitas tacos. The staff is very kind and courteous.

I found this place searching on yelp. Tacos $2 on homemade tortillas after 4pm. Homemade tortilla chips and salsa cups so good! I only like authentic Mexican food so I'm picky but this hit the spot! I'll be back they have a lengthy menu. The churros were awesome you can get them with vanilla ice cream! I suggest you try it out.

I thought long and hard before writing this review... I stopped here for lunch last weekend while my kids were at a friends house swimming so I was free to pick the place. Finally. There is a tiny sign next to the location in the strip mall but hard to find without a map. The restaurant is small with about 9 tables, a 40 inch flat screen, a new style jukebox, a large drink case and a restroom for customers. It was 100% empty when I was there. The menu has traditional Mexican items you would expect at at taqueria plus cheese steak sandwiches and other options. I just kept it simple and got a chicken burrito for 6.99. It included chicken, rice, beans, salsa, cheese and sour cream. They also included some chips and a tiny plastic ramekin with salsa. I could hear a baby crying in the kitchen and hoped it was not making my burrito. When the to-go bag was ready, it felt like a baby was in the bag, so heavy. This burrito felt serious. I was able to try a few chips in the car and immediately I worried. They tasted stale even though they had just been fried, kinda gross. At home I unwrapped the burrito and it was in fact large but looked the baby did fold it...it was very messy and bland and just not that great. The salsa was OK, I guess. My husband had a bit when he got home and didn't like it. We tossed it. I would love to love this place and they do have a few great qualities... customer service was pretty good, lots of drink, desert and food options. I am going to try them again and see if maybe I went in on a bad day, others seem to like it. Maybe they are just working out the recipes?

Amazing! I love the flavor, texture, freshness, prices and great service at this brand new restaurant! Lucky enough to experience the home made tortillas on adobada, asada and lengua tacos, so soft and delicious but study enough to hold all the meat inside. I asked for medium heat on the camarones diabla, and this slightly sweet and spicy shrimp dish was heaven... The rice and beans are awesome as well-the beans were not all the way pureed which I loved for texture, it was topped with melty cheese and everything in my to go order stayed hot even after coming home. Oh chips and salsa? SO fresh, like they were just fried, and I tried 3 salsas, my usual tomatillo, their slightly spicy rojo, and a thicker, bright green salsa that looks like guacamole and packs a punch! I can't wait to dine in so I can try even spicier and cool off with the churros with cookies and cream ice cream! Beautiful decor, very clean, and so many drinks to try! You haaaave to stop here and feel the love at this family owned little slice of Mexico!

This is my second time here since they opened. Both times, the food has been tastefully authentic and the service great. Today we ordered handmade tortilla tacos. The guy who took our order said the lady who makes the tortillas was out on an errand but was on her way back and if we were willing to wait. Since we weren't in a rush, we opted for waiting because we were really craving handmade tortillas. While we waited, they offered us the standard chips with salsa but to our amazement he also brought out a huge quesadilla (free of charge) for patiently waiting. I mean, who doesn't love free food? They were super attentive the entire time and it didn't take long for the lady to arrive who quickly started making our order. The tacos 'de lengua' were full of flavor and the handmade tortillas was worth the wait. Prices are very appropriate for authentic Mexican food. Definitely check this new place out! (Sorry, I forgot to take pics of the tacos. They went straight to my mouth)

Their asada tacos were amazing. Had some corn as well but finished it before realizing I should've taken a picture, along with the churros. This brings me back to my roots, if anyone around the area is looking for some authentic Mexican food, this is the place. Unfortunately the lady that makes the taco tortillas by hand was sick today so I didn't get the full experience, but I'll certainly be back for them. If you're looking to grab a bite of Mexican food worth your money.
