The food is delicious, but the pricing practices are disappointing. Prices seem to increase frequently without notice, and the drive-up menu prices don’t align with what you’re actually charged at checkout. By the time you notice, you’ve already paid. Transparency matters, and this makes the experience feel misleading despite the quality of the food.

This is one of the best tacos I have ever had in my life. The meat is cooked just right and the sauces are amazing. Props to the cook who cooked my tacos. Great service and not a long wait for food. The rice is great too especially when you add the lime. I would choose this place to be my last meal it I could.

It is unreal how good those chicken tamales are. Green salsa is also good, and the horchata. Steak tacos and burritos incredible. Every single authentic mexican dish I have eaten here was top tier.
