The tacos here are amazing! Authentic old fashioned Mexican food.

I had a wonderful experience coming here. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and giving a menu. The options here are easy to understand. The categories here make it simple to choose. You don't have to speak Spanish to place your order but it is a plus. Everyone in the eating area to the staff all the way to the cook had a positive attitude. They have bathroom here and they were clean. I would definitely recommend coming here for good Mexican food. I certainly would come back. Payment here will be in the form of cash or credit card.

We went to this place to have some Mexican food. The food was great and had good prices. The waitresses spoke in Spanish and that was an indication of the authenticity of this restaurant. The burritos were very flavorful. We loved it.

This a solid spot for late night dining. The buñuelos are always the highlight to my visit.

Delicious carne asada and el pastor burritos. The portions aren’t super large though, which is good if you don’t want to feel too weighed down, but not great if you want a super dense burrito.

Came here for lunch while on a school field trip. Our group had called ahead weeks ahead and there were several tables already reserved for us by the time we got there. Rest of the resteraunt was relatively empty with a few people coming in and out for deliveries. We had preordered and the food came out very fast. Food was very cheap, the plate of tacos was only $3.25! Tacos were decent. The torta was supposedly much better than the tacos according to my fellow classmates. Service was really good as everything came out fast and the waitresses kept checking up on our group. Overall, I recommend trying this place if you are in the area!

Visited with three friends, two of which were non-Spanish speaking.
We ordered tortas, one asada and one de pechuga del pollo a la plancha (being closest to grilled). The torta de pechuga was for a friend who specifically has dietary restrictions, so when they brought out a torta de pechuga empanizado (breaded) we were all visibly confused.
Myself and my other Spanish speaking friend went to speak with some of the waitresses as we didn't have one specific waitress, but more so they rotated who would drop by our table. She and another waitress then proceeded to explain to us the differences between plancha, parrilla, and asado, when we had clarified in our order that we wanted grilled due to dietary restrictions. When trying to rectify the problem, they sent us back to our table, saying that there was nothing wrong with the food they sent out and insinuating that we just ordered wrong. We then ordered another torta de pechuga, insisting they just put chicken on the flattop because we didn't want to leave our friend without eating, to which they continued to pushback on us for, stating that what we were ordering was not something they offered, despite listing it on their menu. A 3rd (different) waitress then brought out the food and stood there with visible disdain and asked if it was good enough and we said it was good (they brought us a grilled chicken breast torta). After later paying and leaving, the entirety of the kitchen staff waved to us and smirking/laughing at us as we left.
Overall, really disappointed, I was really hoping to put some friends onto this spot as my family has been coming here for years and loves the food. However, it was really upsetting to be essentially gaslit by staff who kept rotating out and no one really listening to us on what we wanted for our friend. Would have loved to see eye-to-eye and level with the staff as I prefer to work through conflict, but the staff kept rotating out and no one really took accountability for the issue at hand or for the miscommunication.
Food is a 5/5, service was 1/5. Will very likely not be returning.

This restaurant is a must! 10/10 recommend. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. They bring the food that you order straight away. I was impressed with their fast service. The shrimp tacos are to die for and I love me some posole. I also really enjoy their Menudo. I ate there yesterday and I’m on my way back to eat there today (NOT kidding) It’s that bomb! my kids are so picky, but they always say that this place is bussin’ lol 🤤
These tacos were fantastic. Try the pastor tacos.🌮
