I went to that place because it was recommended to me, but I didn't go in because I couldn't find a place in the parking lot and on the street side I had to pay to park... so I can't comment on this place because I didn't go in.

Employees and environment were great, but the chorizo was very dry and didn't have much flavor. The chicken quesadilla was made with shredded chicken that just tasted like broth.$28 for two tacos, one quesadilla, and a limeade. There are a bunch of food options around here, all of which seem to be more affordable and better.

I came to this place to eat some beef triple tacos after church. And the young lady was not very pleasant with her customer service seems she was in a rush. I don’t know why since no one was behind me. And the food was basically beans burrito and I ask for Sour cream. No sour Cream big disappointment.

Great food, rudest customer service I've seen in a hot second.I ordered takeout on a late night, and received the wrong items. I ordered meat-based items and received only vegetarian items, which are much cheaper. I called them and asked for a refund since it was late at night and they were about to close. They said they "don't do" refunds, and that I should come back at a later date and just say they had messed up the order previously and that they would then replace the order. Since I was traveling I again asked for a refund, or at the very least some kind of coupon code to verify what had happened so that when I did come back I'd have something to show. I was told they didn't do that either and assured it would be fine.Surprise surprise, it wasn't fine. I called today to try to get my replacement order and talked to a lady on the phone who was honestly super rude, and was told that they don't do that either. The good news is, I have timestamped pictures of the incorrect items I received, and will be filing a chargeback to get my refund. It's honestly a huge shame that they're so rude and unhelpful when they make mistakes because the food is generally really good. I can't see myself ever going back. Even if the lady on the phone had been less rude I'd be willing to give them another chance but how are you going to talk to people on the phone like that when you're the ones who made the mistake? Just a really bad attitude.

I called 3 times got a very very rude girl tried to place an order Togo while I was driving she said had to place online because she was busy . I asked to place order over phone as I was driving and she said have to put you on hold until I’m not busy in lobby was on hold 4 to 5 minutes each time . I was placing a larger order and order from this place a lot . I would imagine that take out is important to your business as I am a frequent take out customer. I won’t be using this place again for orders unless owners or management would like to address this bad behavior tonight . You’re in the service industry every customer matters !!

This place is pretty solid. I really like the fish and shrimp tacos. Al pastor and lengua are good. The Carne aside isn't terrible, but I'm not a big fan of it. Definitely coming back for more seafood dishes!

This is an average place, like if you’re in the area and can walk there this will curb the quick tacos craving but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here. Parking is very limited, food is ok—-nothing special, Margaritas are not good—I’d recommend a bottled beer or fountain drink.

Like most of my food adventures I happened to stumble across this restaurant while going to another one down the street. The reviews looked great so I thought I'd give it a shot. I like the restaurant itself it's cozy and the lighting just makes you feel like you are on a patio outside. The staff was nice and turn around time for food was fast. I ordered a lengua burrito and a tripa taco extra crunchy. The burrito was okay not a ton of flavor but wasn't horrible, the tripa taco was good and they delivered on the crunchiness. My wife ordered a smothered burrito and said the green chili has good flavor but the burrito itself was just okay. The food is a little pricey we spent almost $50 on 2 burritos 2 tacos and a horchata which we were a little surprised by, they don't show prices on their menu so be aware if your are looking for a budget friendly taco shop this might not be for you. All in all it was a decent taco shop definitely recommend you try it at least once.
