How does this place not have 5 stars? The have the best shredded chicken I have ever tasted. The chicken enchiladas were incredible. The carne asada melts in your mouth. It has such an incredible flavor. The service was the best. Everything was perfection.

Came here with my girlfriend to start our day with some breakfast. It was my 40th birthday and everything was so GOOD. I appreciated this place for the tasty food. The people and the cooks deserve to be celebrated as well. We definitely will be coming back! A must try don’t over think it ! Also to top it off they gave me free peace of flan ? that was the best ever ! Thank you!

I didn't like it at all, the chilaquiles are tortilla chips with sauce, how horrible, for someone who knows Mexican cuisine, just no, the dry beans, and the golden eggs nonono.
Real authentic Mexican food. Taste like I'm eating at my tia's food.

The food here is very good, but the service needs major improvement. We waited five minutes to be seated, despite no one else being ahead of us. After waiting, the young guy working today just told us to pick any table without offering any assistance. We had to repeatedly ask for coffee refills, and the service felt inattentive overall. To make things worse, after I paid with the QR code, the same guy ran after me as I was leaving, asking if I had paid, even though it had already been processed. While the food was great, the terrible service, especially from the young guy working today, makes it hard for me to want to return.

I have been going to this place for years. Generally very pleased with service and food. But the last couple of months I noticed the service was very slow, even when not busy. Now they don't bring chips and salsa till after you ordef...That is NOT a bad idea, but after we ordered it took a long time to get our food. We ran out of chips and salsa pretty fast. Wouldn't have ran out so much if the service was faster. Kinda hard to get refills on drinks. I ordered mole..it was awful, my friend didn't like his either. My daughter in law tried mine and said...NO way this is not how mole is suppose to be. I only ordered it because the guy next to me said it was great. But overall their food is amazing. Obviously their mole is different than what my daughter in law and her family makes wont order it again. As far as dining in I don't see us doing that anytime soon. Probably just get the food to go.

Nice little taco shop, they were a little short staffed, but our waitress took the time to apologize and was accountable for the dining experience. I will try them out again.
