Delicious and authentic! Highly recommended.
The food here isn’t bad — it’s solid, even enjoyable. But what really soured the experience was the blatant mismatch between the prices listed on the menu board and what they actually charge at the window.
I was surprised to find that none of the items matched the posted prices. When I asked about it, the person at the window casually said they had recently raised prices again. No update to the drive-thru board, no heads-up, just… higher charges.
A simple bean and cheese burrito ended up being nearly $11 after tax and a “service fee.” The tacos? Each was anywhere from $0.50 to $1.00 more than listed. In total, my order came out about $10 higher than what I had calculated based on the posted menu.
The food is decent, but let’s be honest — it’s nowhere near good enough to justify being misleading about prices, especially in a drive-thru setting where people rely on the posted menu to make their choices.
I wish I had read the reviews beforehand, because it turns out I’m far from the only one who’s run into this issue. It’s a recurring theme.
Do better. Transparency matters.
very good
Our favorite place! We take all of our family and friends here. Large amounts of food for a great price!
Great spot for tacos and amazing food all around!
Always well made delicious food defenitley my top 3 places in the Colorado Springs area for mexican fast food.
Breakfast burritos excellent!
Ate here twice. First time was very good but the second time was disappointing. Long time to receive my order and the food was not what was ordered. The other stores in this family run chain have been excellent.
Aloft the tables (and most of the chairs) were filthy at our visit. Food is beyond huge but so terribly bland. Mexican food should have a rich blend of flavor. This didn't even have basic salt and pepper. Carne asada was way overcooked and the tortilla was very chewy. Our first visit will be our last, sadly.

Waited almost 30 minutes for 2 tacos to get over cooked hard tortillas. My tacos were also cold no guacamole really and thrown allover the to go plate. It's obvious that this establishment doesn't care about business. Im not coming back cause of the lack of the kitchen staff here. It did use to be good taco place not no more.

Rude owners, managers! Constantly playing loud music and bothering the neighbors around them. They’ve been asked nicely to turn it down but they’re rude and don’t care. I wouldn’t eat there and neither do many of my neighbors for the sane reason!

Use Cash!!! My husband went through the drive thru this evening, as we usually do (once a week) and the cashier swiped his card 4x and then stated it wouldn't work, but yet gave him his food. He checked his bank app and was charged 4x times. When he stated the error, the cashier stated to just dispute with the bank, it's her first day and the other person there spoke no English. I understood the ladies didn't have the access, so I requested to get their names and a time when a manager will be in to handle the matter directly. The ladies both then decided to decline providing me information and went about their night. I would advise if in the area there are 2 nice food trucks; One on the corner of Flintridge/El Camino or Union/Vickers that also sells amazing Mexican food and ring up orders correctly!
