The food was really good.
No alcoholic drinks if you're into that.
Very small place to dine in, but it has a patio.

Food was 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮 waste of money lesson learn never ever will I ever eat there. Dry as i don’t know what. The amount of meat was a smack in the face. They should be ashamed of themselves. I rather starve than ever eat at this place again.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 If you can't smell food but you can smell the books and filth - leave. Not sure how this place is even open. Who is regulating and checking for food safety in this area? Nobody....Disgusting!

I will never EVER patronize this business again and I suggest you don’t either. Ordered tacos from here on DoorDash. The clueless and terribly under qualified manager at the front said the order was taking longer than usual. Against my better judgement I waited 40 minutes. The manager came over, said he felt bad and offered me a refund for my troubles but failed to mention he canceled my order. I waited an additional 20 minutes just for him to ask me why I was still there because my food wasn’t coming. I left infuriated and hungry. He also didn’t refund me for the total cost of the order. I have never been treated so poorly by a restaurant in my life. Do not eat here!

Everybody’s right about the food being bland, it wasn’t hot, and I specifically called to make sure it was JUST chicken, rice, & beans because people like to put sauce or guacamole and I don’t like those but they lied and said it doesn’t come with any guacamole. Plus I couldn’t even bite through the chicken. Almost like breaking apart 2 magnets

We went for lunch. Food was good, space was quiet, portions not too big. Overall solid lunch spot.

I don't want to give such a harsh rating, but I just wasn't happy with the food, service, or environment. For one thing, it was absolutely FREEZING. No heat whatsoever and they refused to close the door. I asked if they could and she claimed that there basically was no door or whatever and then as we were leaving we see the door is finally shut. We had to freeze during our entire meal and then you shut the door right before we go? It's 50°! Close the door! I got the 3 tacos. I thought the food would be good because of the reviews, but the steak tacos were bland and oddly very GRITTY in texture & the chips came with no guac or salsa. If you want the waitress (the receipt said Rachel) to come back because you need something, good luck with that! She was polite, but practically non-existent & spent a lot of time in the kitchen window on her phone, & we didn't get water until we asked for it. I would have loved a dip for my tacos since they were kind of dry & seemingly without seasoning. I called her over a few times, but she didn't hear me and by the time she finally came I was done eating & didn't need a dip. Wouldn't recommend & wouldn't return. Unfortunately the food was basic and I think they have better at Taco Bell. My boyfriend had a very little meat. The bananas were good. And I don't know how they will have a business in the winter if they refuse to close the door when it's freezing. If you're worried about looking closed because there's no window on the door, change the door! And change the decor while you're at it because it was pretty tacky and random.

Exceeded my expectations! I ordered through door dash and was so happy with the quality considering it was delivery. The salsa tasted so fresh and the chips are definitely homemade. They tasted like they'd just come out the fryer after 30 sec in the microwave. For my entree I got the Chicken Burrito which was amazing. It had so much flavor and was huge. Half of it is plenty to fill even the biggest appetite. I will definitely order from here again!

I tried this place last year and thought it was fine. Nothing too major.

Something must have changed because the tacos here are absolute fire now.

Even if you’ve tried this place before it’s time to give it another shot.

Highly recommend the carnitas taco!
