Food is good but pricey and they don't put the prices on the paper menu or the menu on the wall.

Tacos are mid. Very dry, but for 2.50 each they give you a good amount of meat and are filling. It’s mid. Very mid.

If you're like me and you get hungry at 3am in the morning, you're looking at the right restaurant! The tacos were amazing. The onions and salsa added nice, crunchy and delicious flavors to the meat. I did find it a little interesting how they used lemons, but hey, it tasted good so no complaints from me! I also enjoyed the tacos much more than the fries, but my sister enjoyed them so to each their own, I suppose. Service was pretty fast (~10 mins), and the cashier was very kind. Chill vibes, quiet environment.. that's what I'm looking for at 3am. If you are too, give them a try! :)

This place used to be hit or miss, especially for a late-night Mexican restaurant. Renowned for their carne asada fries, I ordered some recently and was disappointed. The portion size has significantly decreased, the meat was ground beef instead of asada, and the guacamole seemed to be from a squeeze bottle. They charge for everything, including using your card and sauces. The lady at the register was extremely rude. Despite the diverse late-night crowd, professionalism is essential. I won't be returning.

Good burritos and good tacos. I usually get the al pastor. Salsa is also great that it's open 24 hours so I can satisfy midnight cravings.

I usually don’t write reviews but WHAT? Used to like this place but it is SOOO NASTY now. And they are so cheap, it’s gross. $2 for a large Togo box? The prices are ridiculous. Didn’t even finish my tacos. AND they didn’t have
Difficult with parking but pretty decent food, and there isnt much around there to choose from , salsa was

The attitude of the cashier was polite, but the cook was a bit dark, emotive wise. The carne asada burrito was lacking, specifically in rice and meat, and was tempting me to complain. I bought a carne asada wet burrito afterwards, and it was incredible.However, after around 1:30 AM, the Cashier informed me that they close at 2 AM. Suspicious, I waited outside to verify.She lied. I took a picture of their sign, and waited for more customers to come in. Several people came in at 1:59. Photo #2 was taken 2:13 AM. I stopped waiting, and wrote the review. I arrived at the restaurant at around 11:30 PM.

I went here 3 times and was disappointed every time. Dry burrito and store bought taco shells. No thanks.

Price: Moderate. It was $25 for one quesadilla with meat, one torta, and a drink. Quality: Awful. This is what prompted me to write this review. I truly do not understand how this place has been in business for so long. Came here for dinner on Sunday night and ended up with the most salty, dry Al Pastor I've ever had. The carne asada has a consistency that makes me question where it came from. All the meats here reminded me of the phrase "mystery meat." I would never come here again.
