Placed my order for 7 steak tacos w/ cheese she told me the my order was $38. I asked to add a horchata to my order and she told me to wait. When she was finally ready to complete my order I had already paid for the tacos so I had to pay for my drink separately. I gave her my card and she asked did I have cash I told her no she asked if I had money in my car and it rubbed me the wrong way I told her my card is my form of payment and she told me that I couldn't have my drink unless I spent an additional total of $10 at this point I was just pissed bc I literally just spent $40 now you're trying to get me to spend more money I told her to keep it and sat down then it dawned on me that I just paid $38 for 7 tacos listed at $3.50 and I wasn't given a receipt. I asked for my receipt and the lady looked at me crazy and repeated my request she gave it to me and I realized that I had been charged double for my toppings and she looked and gave some excuse and gave me my money back. After I left I realized that 5 tacos at $3.50 is 17.50 not 19.98 and 2 tacos at 3.50 is $7 not 8. I honestly feel that they are purposely cheating people and to further explain this feeling my sister was charged $19 the other day for 2 tacos and a drink that should have been around $13 and she was saying something wasn't right but she didn't know because she wasn't given a receipt. Never again!! Please request your receipts!!

The Picadero had zero flavoring it was just plain ground meat. The Pastor taco also had no flavor.

Went last week Thursday. Friendly staff, food was good and the prices were very reasonable considering how everything is going up.

Found some sort of hair/material around the jalapeño. Contacted the restaurant and they wanted to give me a $1 credit and asked me if I wanted to go pick up a jalapeño. How ridiculous considering the fact that I’ve purchased from them many times before. Goes to show how they run their restaurant. Will never be back. Simply pathetic.

I went here to eat today with my family and right before we were about to order, we saw mold on multiple tortilla chips served to us . When I asked why they served us moldy chips or if we could get another basket, the server proceeded to say that’s a “normal color” in the corn tortilla which is definitely not. She then proceeded to answer in Spanish (I respectfully let her know I am non Spanish speaking) and she continued to speak to me in Spanish as if I understood what she was telling me. She then proceeded to take our order in perfect English directly after… we ended up canceling the order and leaving the establishment. I’m disgusted and usually I have a good experience with this place but I don’t think I’ll be coming here again after this.

Came in for a quick bite after a meeting. They are open late. A friend & I ordered chicken tacos on corn. The chicken was amazing! They were juicy & tender. Then I ordered a lengua taco (disappointed). It had no flavor, or maybe because I haven't eaten in a while. Overall food & horchata was great!

My chilaquiles were cold and made with the same product as the appetizer when you wait for your food. No new product. Nor hot. No good. Water no good.

Employees need better training, I was placing an order thru the phone & the girl had no idea of food items on the menu. I wanted her to review the food item and instead of reviewing she said to go in instead. What is the point of ordering thru the phone? Items are always incorrect- if ordering and picking up- review your items. If I could give this place zero stars- I would.
