The food was not good. There was no seasoning on anything. We had the Al Pastor and it was tough and chewy. The fries and rice were good. The lady at the check out was nice. The Horchata was terrible. Very grainy, bland, not much cinnamon and not sweet. The prices were high with little options for single serving meals. The fried chicken was over cooked and bland. I'm not sure if I'll go back. My dad has been here a few times and has had good food but today was not the case.

My go to when I don’t want to cook! Great to feed the fam. Also I love picking up and going to eat at a park. My favorite is the arrachera, the chicken sandwiches and of course pollo al carbon. The sides are delicious!!

The food was delicious. We ordered it family style and it was perfect since I didn't want an entire entree for myself. My adult son and husband both had plenty to eat. The staff was friendly and the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean.

My wife and I had ordered food at 12 AM as this place is known to be open until 3 AM. We ordered the food from online and left the bar we were at to come pick up the food at the designated time. When we arrived, there was about 20 people ahead of us waiting to order their food for takeout. How did we wait for two hours for our food?

1st time experience. I called over the phone and the girl that answered ( Spanish) needs some training. I got chicken and steak. The bigger portions. They come with 3 sides. French fries,, mashed potatoes, and small potatoes in salsa. I also got the Mac and cheese. Also got the Guacamole.
Again. This is my 1st time could be an off day.
Chicken had good seasoning but dry.
Steak (aracherra) was soft and tasted great. But dryish.
The sides : Mac and cheese yummy. Mashed potatoes yummy. Small potatoes in salsa ? guacamole ? to many onions .
On my way to this place I passed Pollos Locos. I'll try them next.
I do want to add although I did take my food to go the dinning area looked ample and inviting a lot of light.

If you're a food snob like me and love authentic Mexican cuisine, this place is a must-visit. The staff and owner go above and beyond to ensure an exceptional dining experience. The aguas frescas are the real deal not from a powdered substance and the carne asada dinners have my heart. I am a repeat offender and plan on going back as soon as the opportunity presents itself! Non pretentious joint with great food and great people.
