2nd time here and it was once again a bad experience. The first time I thought they were just having a bad day which still doesn't cut it and going today to get food I realize this is just the way they are. The server hot upset because I asked her if she has forgotten about our food after the 2 customers behind me a carry out and dine in received their food prior to us. She gave me an attitude and told me she only has 2 hands and that woman come first smh. Ma'am a custimer is a customer. Why would 2 individual receive their food first and we order the same tacos and you catch an attitude and try to justify it with because they are woman . How dare I ask. Thats what bothered me the most instead of listening to her customers she answer based on how she felt. Luckily I am very respectful, however I won't be coming back here again. I'm surprised they have customers treating people like this. I can't help to think im not the only one.

Absolutely delicious!

I arrived during the lunch hour.

I was seated promptly and ordered the Tacos de Birria meal.

Chips and salsa were quickly brought out as well as my drink (water). The chips were fresh and salsa was great.

The taco plate was brought out

My plate was out in no time. The tacos were delicious with plenty of meat and cheez. The tortilla was fresh and did not overpower the taste of the birria. The consume was amazing. Beanz and rice were on point.

Overall an excellent meal at a great price- 15.99.

Will definitely be back whenever I'm in town.

So disappointed that I won't be coming back here. I love this place and went here two times previously. This time there were so many flies swarming all around our food while sitting outside, it was disgusting. The water given to us have particles floating in it and after getting a new bottle that bottle also had particles floating in it. There are no menu prices and they force gratuity into the bill. I do not like that I am forced to give a 20% tip to someone regardless of if their service is good or not! They also charge extra for lime slices and tortillas without letting us know when most places will not charge extra for that. I was not expecting the bill for my husband and I had to be so expensive.
