The food is good and its a hole in the wall kind of place; no problems there. However, every time we eat the plates are crammed full. I don't mean the portions are excessive; I mean the entrée, beans and rice are all piled onto the smallest plate possible. I ordered the barbacoa mega burrito with rice and beans on the side. The burrito came in a basket with paper and the beans and rice on a tiny plate. The burrito juices spilled around the basket and out of the paper as I cut the burrito(not a plate, a basket and piece of deli paper) onto the table making a disgusting mess. The plate of rice and beans was so crowded it spilled all over the table. This is the case every time we eat here... the food here is great, but the plating and presentation is terrible.

Ordered fajitas from door dash. The picture shows beef and it does not give you an option to chose any other type of meat. When I get them, they are chicken. Called and let the owner know and he told me that ...yea you did not specify so you got chicken. I explained that you did not get an option and it shows beef. This is just one of many issues we have had with them. No more chances. Owner is very rude. He said you can come get them, seriously....I'm at work. Then he hung up on me. BTW, the fajitas are NOT mind blowing.
In response to owner's response, you in NO WAY offered another delivery. You said if I can come get it. I was not belligerent. YOU hung up on me because you knew you were wrong. You knew as soon as I called that you made a huge mistake. You sir are not a good person.

The happy taco is a great place to go. Our first time was yesterday. May 17th 25, we ordered straight tacos, and American tacos and both were delicious. Plus, they have the most delicious cheese dip. Logan, our server was super kind and brought us everything we needed plus some water. I posted pictures of the establishment and also the menu I highly recommend this place.

Horrible. Got the chimichanga with chicken and the chicken was dry!! Also got the refried beans and they tasted sour. I looked at all the 1 star reviews and the owner responds and makes it seems like it was the costumers fault. There was no line but it is because the food tastes horrible!! My friend got tacos and was very greasy. Please do not go here because I am getting sick to my stomach right now. 1/10 review!! Horrible.

Today was my first time ever stopping by this place, and i do not regret stopping by. Starting off, I love the atmosphere. It has that small roadside taco shop vibe with a local twist. I also love the fact that it's a local business and not a giant corporate chain which you can tell by their focus on the customer. The place is small so i can see it being hard to find a place to sit on a really busy day but they do offer take out service too. You self serve your drinks but they bring everything else to the table. My server, i believe his name is Ian but not sure, was great. He made suggestions, the beef rice bowl was amazing, and made me feel welcomed unlike so many big chains these days. The food! I mean what could I say about the food? AMAZING! That's what. The chips are made in house and are delicious. The salsa and queso are both great and flavorful. Not watered down like some places. I came on a Tuesday and their special was three tacos. I took mine crunchy and supreme. The shells are made in house, like the chips, and a very scrumptious. They crunchy but hold up well and do not get soggy. I wish i would of noticed the topping options before but what i got, the supreme toppings, was very delicious so i can not complain about having another reason to come back here to try them all. I also got the beef rice bowl with added grilled onions and peppers. It was also amazing and the serving size was bigger than expected, which is really nice because i get to take some home. The price is not bad, after all you get what you pay for. Well, not really here because i feel like you get more than you pay for compared to these other places. Based on the quality and service i believe the price to be really really fair. Overall, i could not recommend trying this place more because I literally have nothing bad to say about this place. I will definitely be giving them a second visit.

There is nothing more that you could ask for from this gem. I got the tacos and they were amazing. Will be back for sure.

we have been eating there for years, and everything they cook is good. So if you can I would give them a try.

I really wanted to love this place because it's close to home and locally owned.......but they continue to disappoint. I have gone a couple of times before but this trip will be my last. My wife and I stopped to grab some lunch to go, there might have been 15 customers in the building most already had their food. It was sunny, so after placing our order, we stepped out onto their porch to wait. After several minutes, I go to check on my food and he said it wasn't ready so I bought a drink and tipped the guy again. After I got my drink another person walked up and asked what I was waiting for and I told him the to-go order. He proceeded to look under the cash register, I guess this is where they put to go food and said it's been sitting here for a few minutes. The original employee came back and they both acted confused. He offered to refund me my money but I'm hungry which is why I came here. I ended up taking my food but the fact that they didn't know how to fix the issue and looked at me to offer suggestions is ridiculous. All they offered were excuses and a light hearted apology. Not trying to knock their hustle but at least learn the business before opening one. I'm not sure they have any prior front of house restaurant experience and it shows. I should have just got my refund and ordered Vallartas or Taco Bell.

Not consistent with hours. 3 rd time we have been and they are closed for catering. If you can’t keep workers then you , as a owner is doing something wrong

I've only had the street tacos and they aren't the best but aren't the worst. Probably wouldn't come on a day other than Taco Tuesday. The churro fries were ridiculously good though
