This place is INCREDIBLE! Everything I ordered was 10/10, the Salsa for the the chips and salsa which come Warm 😊, the Pastor tacos NEXT LEVEL, and don’t get me started on the Horchata 🔥. Everything about this place is phenomenal.

This place was amazing when it first opened several years ago. So I struggled on whether to write a review. I went a few days ago and boy has it gone down. Prices have gone up, ok I get that. But for the quality of the food totally not worth it. I got the pick 2 combo w/beef fried taco and beef enchilada, rice/beans. The beef was unseasoned and tasteless, my fried taco shell tasted stale. We ordered queso dip to go with the complimentary chips and salsa (which was ok). The queso was in a tiny cup for $5.99!! Are you kidding me! The margarita was a mix out of a slushy machine. I asked for on the rocks, I was told they don’t make margaritas on the rocks. Which is bs cause I have had it there in the past. Oh and the menus are gross and sticky. I did not want to touch them. This used to be an awesome place. So sad to see it go to downhill.

I definitely recommend this place, I know it's a Mexican Restaurant but you gotta have the Philly (heaping portions) you will definitely need a knife and a fork for it. So if you're in the area or just tired of the normal Midwest Mexican, you should stop in here. Indoor or outdoor seating plus a drive thru, and the staff is so pleasant and friendly. Their red sauce has got a little kick to it, but I like the green (flavorful without the kick)

We've eaten here numerous times. We found it when we Googled Mexican Restaurants. First what caught our attention is MEXICAN SUSHI. Yes, you did read this correctly. Yes, its absolutely divine. We've tried it all. Second, you will never EVER go home hungry unless you choose too. Portions are enough that you will have lunch for break the next day. Again! We haven't found an entrée we haven't more appealing food.
Now the drinks. AWESOME! Lots to choose from.
Overall clean! Thats one thing I really appreciate! Bathroom, CLEAN LADIES!!
Employees are the best. Pleasant and always smiling and ready to help and double checking on the customer.
If you want fresh made food, good here!

Food was ok but a bit on the plane side like they know how to make a good burrito but they are making it for people that think ketchup is spicy no spices on the chicken/shrimp.

I had the Nebraska burrito with cheese on top and guacamole. Everything was delicious! They brought chips with 2 types of salsa, red and green to start. The red salsa had a Chipotle flavor and was a bit spicy and the green salsa was made with tomatillos and was not spicy at all but was extremely flavorful. My burrito was huge and well seasoned. Even the queso was seasoned - the best queso I've had. Dulce was our server and she was very pleasant, kind, and made good recommendations. Sofia was also there and was very kind and helpful as well. The restaurant did not have a lot of seating but did have a patio where several people were sitting. Highly recommend.

I kept it simple and ordered a’la carte; beef taco and side of beans. The tortilla was good, probably made there is my guess. Bean order was large, hot and flavorful. Nothing fancy about the taco filling but it was OK. Dinner options seemed limited and pricey. Service by the young ladies was a pleasure; very polite and warm smiles.

This is my first visit, and I forgot to take a picture of my plates before split. The lunch special was 3 tacos, rice, and beans. The tacos are filled! I made 2 from one. The arroz y frijoles ... YUM... están llenos de sabor.

The ladies who greeted us and served us were friendly and attentive. My mom and I split the taco special. Usually, servers have to be asked for an additional plate after the food is delivered. She delivered the extra plate with the food, without being asked. The little things are big. Thank you.

The establishment was clean, even in the bathroom mid workday.

Only 4 starts because I didn't have a margarita but will definitely return.

i’m in town for work and I was looking for a good authentic Mexican restaurant. This place was incredible. The food knocked my socks off, curled them up and then put them back on. It was so good. This is definitely a must stop if you’re in the airport area. You can’t go wrong. The food was incredible. And the staff was so awesome and kind and delightful.
