The writing on their store front says BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN TOWN...let's go!My g/f and I placed our order and while waiting tried the complentry chips and salsa. This is something I base my impressions on first and these were made in house and the salsa, both AMAZING, got me excited for our meal.I ordered 3 tacos, rice and beans and was blown away by the freshness AND quality ABD quanity of meat. I had Adada, Pastor and Cecina, items not on every Mexican restaurant so I was impressed there as well!Looking forward to my next visit...lengua tacos here I come!Parking: PLENTY!

I have passed this place for years while living in the area and it wasn't until I was searching for pupusas recently that it came up for me to try. This is your typical small Mexican taqueria that can fit maybe ~30 people comfortably in there at their tables. A small family owned business where you see the whole family working in back and front. We stopped in randomly because I really wanted pupusas for dinner (you pick your own seat) and were greeted right away by our server. He took our drink orders - horchata was yummy! - and then came back for our dinner selections. I got 1 pupusa of: cheese, beans and cheese, chicharron (pork rind) and cheese. The chicharron and cheese was my favorite. It was flavorful and the slaw accompaniment that is standard with pupusas had a good vinegar amount. My only wish is that there was more cheese in the pupusas overall. They were good but just lacking in the cheese amount, in my opinion. My husband got the carne asada dinner which wow- look at that full plate! While the carne asada was more of a thin sliced bistec instead of thicker asada, it was still flavorful. Most carne asadas come with just grilled onions but they provide an onion and jalapeño grilled mixture. Rice and beans were freshly made. Overall, we'd try this place again! I'd want to try their huaraches the next time.

Dipped in here randomly on a very early Saturday after my kid's cross country meet across the street and was blown away. The taco platter with three different meats was phenomenal and the churro I ordered on a whim was memorable. The service was great and friendly, and I would definitely come back.
