Theres 2 things I lobe in life. Good food and good people. Mayra and her family have earned my business with a welcoming environment and good food. Their Michoacan style, food, and vibes is best in town. Definition of good things come in small packages. LOVE THE CHILAQUILES!!Thank you ?
To me, this place now has the best burrito when compared with Taquerias Guadalajara, Taqueria Los Sanchez, Taqueria Tapatia, and Taqueria Zamora. All these places are good. I used to like this place 3rd of the taqueria's mentioned, but now it's my favorite when it comes to burritos. I haven't tried anything else yet. When ordering burrito pollo, they cook and chop the chicken when you order versus having the chicken already out and just scoop and place on the Tortilla....
People are always asking for "authentic", which is a term I avoid usually, but in this case, it is as real (authentic) Mexican food as you can get. It is Mexican food in a Mexican neighborhood designed to please Mexican palates. If you didn't know better you'd swear you were in Mexico. They hand make their own tortillas and make everything from scratch. I am lucky enough to be in this area every few weeks, so I have an excuse to stop by. Bring cash, no cards...
