Visited for the first time:

I would highly recommend their Pozole. I can’t wait to have it again soon. It comes with a medium to mild spice level (at least to me but I LOVE spicy food) but I could see others thinking its hot. The broth has great flavor. Plenty of tender pork & hominy - there were bones & fatty pieces but thats what makes it taste good! Comes with a small stack of tostadas, limes, shredded lettuce, onion & a tiny side of spicy but...

Omg their birria tacos are dynamite. I literally just drove to the other side of town to get them. They also have a birria burrito which is next on my list. Quick friendly service & great tacos WOW!

I got carne asada tacos, rice and beans. Beans were flavorful, creamy and smooth, tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had… And the rice? It was so fluffy, when I blew on it to cool it off rice stated floating away. I don’t know how I’ve never heard of this place, but I’ll be a repeat customer for sure. 10/10
