Good food

It is the go-to neighborhood place. The food is wonderful, and there is a wide range of options. And most importantly the people there are great, they treat you like a friend.

This is the 3rd time that I get an order to go and wait over 30 minutes seeing other people who come after me leaving with their orders. Every time I ask a very busy “gentleman” tells me, in a very annoyed tone, that they will call me when my food is ready. At the end I leave with the cold food that has been waiting for too long.

The food is affordable, portions are good, and overall pretty good quality for what you pay. If you don’t mind leaving feeling like you’re bothering people and with cold food, this place isn’t too bad.

Way over rated , idk who likes their food but it’s way below average. I picked up my food on time but it still managed to be icy cold. It was clearly made before hand and then put in the microwave but that wasn’t even done properly. You can taste it was not fresh and just lacked flavor. Very disappointed as this was my first time trying their food. Definitely my last.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants but the food quality has gone downhill. The taquitos are very small now and the guacamole tastes like it is pre-packaged from a grocery store. Not fresh. No seasoning or flavor. Very disappointing as I used to order from here a lot.

I decided to take my friend to eat here 1st time .. so i felt like it was overly expensive and i only order tacos and drinks and guac and chips ... yeah the meat flavor was good tacos where pretty good but price i felt was a no for the amount you get... ther restaurant is prett big enough seating place insidr and also they have outside patio... they dont have ac inside so it still feels hot where ever u sit... there is only 1 bathroom aswell did not get any other food from there but the tacos where pretty tasty and so was the guac and salsa

Ordered delivery and the food was very underwhelming. Definitely not mexican and more tex-mex. Shredded chicken was bland. Pollo asado was ok. Crispy taco was too greasy. Soft taco was ok, but didn't hold together well. Beans and rice were also bland.

food was mediocre. ambiance was okay but people there have no courtesy for others. started feeling sick after eating it, and then got home and vomited out all of the wet burrito i ordered. horrible experience and will never be going back.
