Haven't sat inside to eat but I've done take out and it's been immaculate every time. The meat quality is fantastic and so is the flavor. I wish they were closer but maybe I don't because I'd be eating their food too much.

Delicious, flavorful food with heaping portions well worth the price point. They have salsa negra which I've never had before, but became a quick fan of. I ordered the #2 Kaporal Combo which comes with a steak burrito, a chicken tostada, a steak taco, as well as a side of rice and beans. I usually stick to red meat when getting dishes like this, but the chicken was so tender and well-seasoned I wish I had 2 tostadas. The tostada shell was also the perfect mix of pliable and crunchy. The burrito isn't a full-sized one (of course) but it came with tender steak, lettuce, tomato, and beans. They allowed me to upgrade my taco meat to cabeza, and it was melt in your mouth tender. I'm also relatively sure the tortillas are made in house, they were divine. I would 100% come back, if I lived in the area I'd be tempted to come daily. They also have house made ice cream, I got the mango and Oreo. Mango was flavorful and had swirls of chamoy. The Oreo ice cream was creamy and the perfect amount of sweet.

Excellent restaurant, give it a chance, handmade tortillas, the chilaquiles are the best in the area. I really invite you to go and try, you won't regret it.

This is my grandmother's favorite place to eat when she's in town.It's very authentic and it feels like home made food.Everything here is delicious from the tacos to the soups. My brother always goes for the pina colada , it's delicious.They have freshly squeezed orange juice.The molcajete salsa is soooo good. Spicy but addicting.The service is a little slow, but it's because everything is made fresh so I don't mind it. They do have limited parking and seating.And don't forget to try the ice cream, it's one of the best I ever had
