Service was super slow and it wasn't even busy. The birria rice bowl tasted like straight salt. The steak rice bowl was decent and the taquitos were ok.

I love this place. Their rolled tacos is delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The worker Carlos is so nice and friendly and always answer any questions. And I love that this place is all gluten free so my husband doesn't have to worry about cross contamination. This place is amazing!!!

First time here. Ordered 3 taquitos supreme combo. Not bad, not great. Asada was chewy, lukewarm, small taquitos, rice and beans bland. If you’re hungry, don’t want to drive and spend under $10-12, then this will do. Would t go out of my way to come here for taquitos. Service was good.

This is a new rolled taco shop in the Civita neighborhood.I have to say these are the best rolled tacos I've ever had! And I eat a lot of rolled tacos.They are so fresh and you can tell the quality is much higher than your basic taco shop.The meat is tender and not overcooked, the tortillas are fresh and sweet, I could go on and on but you need to try it for yourself!

Really good. We got the carnitas fries, carne asada nachos, and California taquitos. Everything was delicious. This will be a new go-to place for us when we need an easy weeknight dinner and don’t have time to cook. I’m really happy it’s a dedicated gluten free kitchen too. I have celiac so normally I can’t eat anywhere due to cross contamination so I’m so happy I found this place.Dietary restrictions: Everything is gluten free

Rolled tacos is one of my favorite meals. I try a lot of places for quality tacos and so far this place tops a lot of others based on taste and quality. I’ve been here three times before writing this review and the quality hits every time. I get the supreme California rolled tacos with carné asada topped with everything. Ratios of toppings to taquito is always right, especially when I compare to other places I’ve tried.I see people complain about the prices but I also see a difference in quality and I’m willing to pay for that personally. I haven’t tried anything else on the menu. But open to eventually!

Service was friendly and quick.The rolled tacos were a little on the smaller side, but definitely crunchy. The potato ones were our favorite from the two kinds we ordered. The veggie ones are ok, but the potato, way tastier. The rice and beans were good too. Both salsas had great flavor, but I would have preferred the hotter to be just a bit hotter.It was pretty quiet, not many people in the restaurant. They have cool artwork, but could have comfier seating. No backrests available.I'd be curious to go back and try some other things on the menu.

I ordered both the "Vegan" (lentil and quinoa) and potato with the spicy salsa. Both were tasty and crispy. When ordering, ask for "no dairy," and your taquitos will come topped with cabbage, guacamole, and pico. For $2 more (as of 10/23), you can add rice and beans. The guacamole and pico were both really good. I appreciate the fresh jalapenos and that it was clearly handmade. I was also happy the rice and beans had flavor and were not just bland side dishes like they often are at restaurants. The spicy salsa had a kick, which is also not always an easy feat. For $12, I was beyond happy with my four taquitos and sides. The cashier was friendly, the interior was cute, and the food came out fast. PS - the vegan options are clearly labeled, and the shop is gluten-free! Updated from previous review on 2023-10-29

The food here is great it is a chill atmosphere to enjoy some Mexican food. Customer service should be better which is why I gave it 4/5.

Food is absolutely delicious! The employees are friendly and welcoming. This is the perfect little shop to "work from home" they have multiple working outlets around. Had a photoshoot here! Here are some of the photos. To view more, my instagram is @lostincheetoIf you order nachos, ask for extra carne and cheese. The ratio of tortilla chips and topping is a little off. The carne is divine. seasoned perfectly. Not too salty. Cooked to perfection, not too chewy. 10/10 recommend!!
