Food is decent enough, service is definitely lacking being there during lunch it's hard to identify
atmosphere. But whenever we needed something we had to ask for it our waiters didn't check on us. Not like they were real busy or anything.

Very relaxed setting for a holiday Sunday morning. The tortillas are fresh and handmade which punches up the flavors a notch. Carnitas was very savory! No problem getting seating and service. Parking is abundant and free in the strip mall setting. If you want some tasty tacos and chill vibe, come here for sure!

This place should be like a 4.5 or 4.6 star place. It’s very good, only downside is they didn’t do the chili releno alla cart. But they were still some of the best I’ve had. If you haven’t already, give this place a try.
