everything i’ve had has been top notch. torta, tamale, tacos, aguas frescas: it all slaps. tortillas are superb.

I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve now given this place three separate chances, and each time has been worse than the last. I’ve eaten Mexican food all over the U.S.—Southern California, Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Colorado—and I can confidently say this is, without a doubt, the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten in my life.

Let’s start with the burritos. I’ve had three. All three were absolutely horrendous. Not just disappointing—unforgivably bad. Dry, bland, cheap-tasting meat with a texture that makes you question whether it's even safe to eat. The beans taste like they came from a rotten can, sat in a dishwater bath, and were reheated three days later. The rice? Somehow overcooked and flavorless at the same time.

I thought after my first visit that maybe I just caught a bad day or the wrong cook. So I went back a second time. Then a third. Shame on me. I genuinely wanted to give this place a fair shot, but it has failed in every category: taste, quality, authenticity, and execution.

I’ve ordered combination plates, tacos, and burritos, hoping something . . . anything . . . might be redeemable. Nope. Every item was awful. Even the chips were stale and the salsa tasted like watered-down tomato paste with a hint of vinegar. I’ve had better Mexican food at gas stations, and I’m not even trying to be funny.

My wife, who is Hispanic, was with me on two of those visits, and she was just as shocked at how bad the food was. She refused to even take leftovers home. That should tell you everything.

I never thought I'd find such a bad Mexican food place in my life. Nothing even comes close to how bad this place is. It’s in a league of its own, and not in a good way.

I don’t know how this place is still in business. Maybe people who’ve never had real Mexican food are keeping it afloat. But if you have any idea what authentic, even halfway-decent Mexican food should taste like, do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from this restaurant.

Three visits. Three disasters. I’ll never step foot in there again. This place should be used as a textbook example of how to ruin Mexican cuisine. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

Their breakfast burritos are generous in size packed with meat and eggs

Worst burrito. No meat if there was you couldn't tell with how much vegetables they put on it.

The Chile Relleno burrito was really good. The service was fast, the people were friendly.

The decor is the nicest thing about this place. The food is quite possibly the worst restaurant food I've ever paid for. The guacamole was pureed like baby food and tasted of flour and not much else. The beans were also pureed and smelled and tasted like cat food. The rice was dry and the rolled tacos were flavorless. The green salsa was pretty good, though. The service was decent and friendly, at least, and the restaurant was clean, but I won't be back.

I haven't had anything that wasn't DELICIOUS here! Breakfast burritos are hands down the best in town and the service - both in house and to go - is always top notch. Salsa is perfect - not too spicy, yet full of flavor (my husband adds serrano peppers to his).
So happy this place has made a home on this side of town and is here to stay!
