“We moved here from Chicago 2 years ago. In Chicago there are many many authentic hole in the wall mexican restaurants. Since moving here, I haven't been able to find good, real Mexican food other than inside our own kitchen as I'm married to a Mexican. This place had our jaws on the floor! It is so so delicious and the 2 people who were working, who I assume to be the owners, were very sweet. 10/10 recommend for REAL Mexican food.“

“Was the perfect venue for our party! The space inside and out is beautiful and clean. The planner and bar staff are super knowledgeable and friendly. We used their house DJ who has a great personality and played great music. They had a looping video playing on a big drop-down projection screen. They worked with us to set up the space to accommodate a 360 photobooth, 100 gift bags, and our vision for people gathering to eat from our on-site food truck! It was the perfect event!“

Everyone should stride to be like Gi Gi. You will get a pleasant response. Gi Gi is the best manager that I have come across at a Taco Bell in years. Please promote her. Please take her up the ladder she is dedicated to the company and will make sure you have good customer service!!!!!! I wrote this review on my own, most times I don’t write them unless it was a really good experience. And Gi Gi went above and beyond“
