I ordered the steak taco dinner and was really disappointed. The steak was bland and under-seasoned, and the overall dish just didn’t hit the mark. On top of that, the space is tiny and felt really cramped—definitely not ideal for a relaxing meal. Overall, it's a pretty subpar experience. I won’t be rushing back.

I can't believe I passed this place up so many times and it's only 2 mins from my house. The tacos are good especially the chicken, in my opinion. You have an option of grilled or shredded. I like the grilled chicken. I haven't tried the shredded chicken. The steak tacos are good too. My son loves the quesabirras and their horchata drink. The chicken burrito is pretty good also and full of your meat of choice. Try them out. You won't be disappointed. PLEASE...

Always fresh, authentic, and delicious. The staff and chef are friendly, I usually get a free taste of food while I'm waiting on my order if I'm early. That let's me try new things.
