Editing my review - we had a party for 30 ppl catered. Picked up the food there. Had tacos, quesadillas, chile rellenos, and plenty of the salsa negra and guac. It was amazing. Highly recommend this place.
August 2025
I only carry out. Tamales great. Tacos are outstanding. I wondered why their chicken soup was so expensive. Oh, it's family size and has lots of chicken, and the best broth I have ever tasted.
July 2025
Firstly, we called and asked if they offer a California style burrito. We explained that entailed fries and guac on the inside, to which the employee stated to just come in and that they’d make it for us as they have all of the ingredients. Great. We head over. Service was prompt, however, I was shocked to see the total. $60 for 2 burritos (no rice and beans) and 2 margaritas in Avondale is outrageous. They failed to communicate that there would be an additional charge of 8.50...
