Don’t even buy burritos here, there are better places. the carne asada was skinny barely nothing in there and what kind of burrito has lettuce inside. not worth 15 dollars!

Pretty good portion size and flavor. When I went it was really packed so it has to be popular.

One reviewer said they have the best fish tacos. WRONG. It was horrible. The plank is frozen from Walmart and you could make it yourself. They added barely any cabbage, a lot of pico, and the white sauce is literally an American tartar sauce. I asked for the, ā€œchipotleā€ sauce on the side and that was just as horrible being a slight pink color and doused with pure mayonnaise. Go to Taco Taco. Only 99 cents for a much better and deserving fish tacos…. Also, nice touch with the salsa bar, but the Red sauce is crap just like another reviewer mentioned. The taste is off for some reason. Their tomatillo (green) sauce is okay, but that red sauce is a huge turn off. So are the breakfast burritos. Chincy in size to say the least. The carne asada burritos are also small for $15 and they add lettuce. Say what? Them rolled tacos are also small very good size with the shredded beef they add, but that NEON GREEN guacamole is NOT GUACAMOLE. They water their avocado down with sour cream and add green food coloring to save on costs. Even though their prices are high their quality doesn’t match. The only reason many people come here is because they are one of the few Mexican shops that open early. As with the case for me, but never again. Go to Oscar’s down the street. Opens at 6am. Good food for the price; way better red sauce; and, their salsa bar offers jalapeƱo carrots. Win. Win. Triple Win.

Unbelievable carne asada tacos. The riace and beans were freshly made. This could be the best tacos I've ever had. Thank you šŸ™.

My beef taco was perfectly made. The tortilla was fried just right to make biting into it easy. Inside the taco shell was a mound of delicious shredded beef, lettuce, cheese, tomato and I think sour cream.

Food was good, not greasy. Was really busy and took a while to get the food. Will go back,maybe just not when they're so busy.

Order a Breakfast burrito this morning and then I asked for two hot sauce cups because they don’t have them out. You need to ask for them. They were very busy so it took about five minutes before somebody was able to help me, Then she tells me they only allow one little plastic cup per order. I seriously thought she was joking and she said no that’s their policy. That’s like two bites of a burrito. A little frustrating because it is literally the most expensive place in town. I cannot imagine that those cups cost more than a penny each.

This place is great, good food, a bit pricey though.
Avoid the carne asada fries, those are a rip off. They give you a tiny portion for the price, and they just don't make them right. Everything else is pretty solid though.

Extremely expensive 1 tampiquena plate ridiculous small portion
And a small drink $25dlls
I been in this restaurant before
