Stopped in to get an authentic street taco and was not disappointed! El pastor, carne Asada and a third one the the owner recommended. All fantastic. Made it a combo and added guava frescas that was bigger than my head.

I was craving some menudo midweek not thinking that I would have any luck finding some as it's a typical weekend dish but to my astonishment this place carried it on a Wednesday. Let me it did not disappoint! It had the unique flavor I was craving and it was delicious! I am definitely coming back to get some more and try a few more of their dishes as I was delightfully impressed. Plus the couple behind the counter was very friendly, courteous and attentive with great service!

I found this place here on Google and the stars and the reviews sounded great, so we went. I regret it. I’m confused why it’s 4.5 stars. Yes the staff was very nice and accommodating, but I ordered a wet fish burrito and the (breaded) fish was thin and clearly from frozen, not fresh. If I had know it would be from frozen I would definitely have ordered a different protein. The inside was 95% (dry) rice and only 5% beans, I had trouble even tasting beans and it might have helped...
