This place was great but every time I went here to this place its closed or not open on time. Past 5 times I went here and it stated it would be open, its closed. The reliability of this place is whats bringing it down and I was a regular here.... was... I have found other similar places now. I rather pay more for my food than not have food at all. Sorry but its why I can't recommend this place anymore.

The huarache de rajas was incredible. I love the hole-in-the-wall atmosphere.

They just have a sign on their door saying they’re closed Wednesdays. I suggest updating your hours online. Waste of time.
I had been wanting to go to this place for a while now, and when I finally went this past weekend, I was disappointed. I got the taco dinner, and while the asada tacos themselves were genuinely really good, I ended up paying $17 which was wayyy too overpriced for just two tacos and a little beans and rice. I probably won't come here again because the price point is not only out of my budget, but also doesn't quite meet the quality and quantity of food that it demands.

Stopped in for lunch and dropped about $20 on a huarache con dos guisos—chorizo & asada—and a horchata. The handmade masa was crispy and the toppings flavorful, especially with a mix of red and green salsa. Spot’s tiny and cash-only, but staff was super chill. Only thing: it got a bit crowded, so service lagged when it filled up. Still, tasty and authentic—worth a return run.

Doña Chio hits the spot when you want no-frills, fire Mexican food. I got a huarache with chorizo and an agua de jamaica—huge portion, super flavorful. Whole thing ran me like $13. The place is tiny and gets packed fast, so seating can be a pain, but the food makes up for it. Not fancy, just real good. Cash only last time I went, so come prepared. I’ll be back for the enchiladas next time.

Ordered Online pick-up. Paid. Went to the store and they were closed. Everything said it was open. Last time I fall for that.

Good food, but absolute scam artists for delivery. Takes payments and never delivers food, never answers their phone, and their mailbox is always full. Go in person or don't go at all.

We're vegetarians and loved the nopal torta here. Can't wait to go back to try everything else

Good old neighborhood good food.
What has happened to this place?
Ive been in the neighbourhood for 10 years and this used to be so good and normal sized portions
Got the smallest burrito ive ever seen for $12. Maybe a half the size of any burrito ive had in the last 10 years. The horchata seemed watered down, could barely taste anything.
Very disappointed. Even service was okay, not as friendly as they used to be before. Flavour of the burrito was okay, no seasoning on the meat and barely any filling.

Went here because I was doing business nearby and wanted to get something quick to eat. Service was anything but quick or commendable. I asked for drinks that took too long to make, and were served lukewarm. They didn’t have the original drink I asked for, which was fine, but when I ordered the dish I wanted, they said they didn’t have rice. At that point I was kind of annoyed. Rice is a Mexican staple. If you don’t have rice, which is a very basic staple, what are you doing? On top of this the waitress was very standoffish when taking our order and didn’t offer so much as a smile or any hospitality when interacting with us. Overall, I paid $45+ tip which was a little steep given the service and amount of food (which wasn’t a lot, 2 drinks, a burrito and enchiladas. I would’ve paid the same ordering delivery from someplace else). I wanted to like this hole-in-the-wall place, but I don’t see myself going back.
