Great service and consistency. This is the most reasonably priced taco shop in town. One of my favorites is their fish burrito. Nice white meat fish that's never fishy, cabbage, white sauce and a little pico for 8 bucks. The Machaca is pretty good also.

I ordered nachos and it was a full order of $11 and the cheese that they put on it was from a can of Velveeta not cheddar cheese ..... absolutely terrible. I also asked for a side order of pico de gallo, and they did not have it. They don't use it. Which I'm very surprised. Regarding the Velveeta cheese, I guess cutting corners is cutting quality as well.

The best Mexican food you're going to find!!! Drove all the way from Rancho Cucamonga (two and a half hours away ) to eat here!!! And I will be back! Carne, asada burritos and taquitos are awesome!!! Everything is value priced and not too expensive and the food is excellent!!!

I bought some food here a month or 2 ago and somehow forgot to leave a good review (life throws a lot at ya). At this restaurant, I had the best pollo asada cali burrito in the past 10 years+. I only say it was 10+ years because I honestly can't remember eating a better burrito. I had to tell the cook and leave a tip.

A great place to pop into when you have limited time and still want something fresh and tasty!They are a well oiled machine! The lunch rush showed how popular of a place this was, staff from Sharp (across the street), construction workers, and all the random walk ins. ?Everyone was friendly, they had two people at the counter and 2 cooks, they don't make it until you order it -super hot & fresh!

It smells sour in the building. The service was good. I got stomach cramps after eating a breakfast burrito.

Unfortunately, this place (our favorite) is no longer open hours we like to go. Dinner mostly. They are now only open for breakfast through late lunch. I called a week or so ago to see if they were going to bring back the old pre-covid hours. They aren't. Not even a couple of times a week. The fellow I talked to said they would have to open all evenings if they opened any. I didn't get that unless it's due to staffing issues. I think that's why they cut the hours back to begin with. We are now on a hunt for a new favorite that's open in the evening. I used to stop on the way home from the office as we live just up the street. We could buy on Saturday if I am not working (they have never been open Sunday) but my attitude is that if they can't be open more and I am going to have to find a new place anyway, the new place is going to be where I am going to go. Too bad as we had been going there as long as they had been open. Many Many years. 30+.

Cute little family run business that has authentic street tacos. The tortillas are fresh and actually tasty, real corn, not the cheaper ones that have gluten added. Friendly owner! Flavorful and affordable!
