It said it was open on Yelp, but when we went it said it was takeout on the door. Ended up finding another place to eat.

Went during listed hours & found a sign on the door with different hours. This is frustrating & avoidable with a small amount of effort by the owners.

There was barely any taste in the tacos and the esquites I ordered and I found a hair in one of my tacos. Will never come

We are tourists here and we expect different experiences when we travel. At the front desk, she asked for dine-in or to go and I said, but they served the food like it was too and even though we did not order a drink, they did not provide even a simple glass of water. The food itself did not have any taste or specialty we just ate it because we were hungry. Our whole experience is a waste of time and money. I write this to let the manager know and fix these issues.

I was looking for something different for my 35th birthday so I searched around on DoorDash for some Mexican food. I noticed this place and decided to check out the reviews on yelp as well. From what I saw, this establishment recently moved closer and the food looked really good. Since they're closed on Sundays and Mondays, I had to order on a Friday (which was two days ago). Deciding on what to order was straightforward. I opted for the Ten Taco Party Pack and 2 Street Corns without the hot Cheetos and Takis dust because it would end up soggy after being stored in the fridge. The party pack comes with lime wedges, two consumme cups, three salsas, cilantro, and diced red onion. The cilantro and red onion were placed in separate cups which is a great idea because it gives people control over how much to put in their taco. I used the DoorDash app to order. The food came neatly packed in two separate bags. The tacos themselves along with the toppings were super good. It is rare these days to find an establishment that can pull off a flavor explosion in each bite. The salsa had the right amount of heat and it wasn't bland nor overly spicy. The consumme was a tad too salty but it was still tasty. It was easy for me to grab my tacos and add the right amount of toppings that I was comfortable with. The corn was sweet with a lengthy cheese pull. Without the hot Cheetos and Takis dust, this definitely reminds me of Korean Cheese Corn.I get that the prices are high, but the quality is there. I think the best deals are in the party packs since it was $38.00 for 10 tacos which comes out to $3.80 per taco plus tax. It is worth the money to support local businesses that need us more than ever. However, I'm wondering why some side items, like the chips and salsa, are not there on the DoorDash app. I only saw three items: ramen, quesadilla, and corn. They also deliver with Uber Eats and I noticed that every side offering shows up. Overall, this restaurant cooks really good food and I would order again in the future.

The place is clean, has music and a TV, and not loud. Good for conversing. The cashier did forget about my drink, but it was fine. She was kind.I like the food. Very yummy. The beans were a little salty, but the Vampiro was delightful. It had melted cheese and made fresh.

I so wish I could give this place 5*'s because the tacos and ramen were soooo good. The Cheetos esquites, quesadilla, and rice/beans were not and for the price I would recommend to not waste the space or money.... Back to the tacos and ramen.... I will be back for more, sooooo good!!!

New location but same birriaParking is in the back, enter from Liona.The food is delicious as usual. It may be a bit pricey for some, and the interior and parking lot could use a little tidying up. I'm also super stingy with my 5s.But if you're in the mood for delicious birria, you can't go wrong going here.

We tried to patron you folks today at 3pm. However, the front entrance was locked and there was no one in the kitchen in the back. We left. Maybe we'll try again. Your posts on IG got me curious.
