“Friendly service and the chips are homemade and soooo delicious the best chips and with a variety of salsas to dip into. The best chips and salsa experience I’ve had at a restaurant while waiting for my food. The queso birria was amazing the perfect crunch and the flavor was definitely there.

“In general, Mexican food is tasty, and here it is still tasty, but in particular in this establishment they roast the chicken and serve it with the feathers, you can even see the chicken roasting even with the feathers in the kitchen, a huge point to improve. They must improve hygiene and keep tables clean for customers“

“First time dining here, got 4 al pastor tacos and a torta. Tacos were pretty tasty, the meat was tender and proportionally served, excellent flavor. The torta was good, chicken was n8ce and tender, the salsas they hace are pretty good too. A little pricey but i think it's worth it, so check it out.“

“I did an order of 3 taco platters the morning of an event via messenger & it went incredibly. The communication was perfect throughout the day.

“Best pozole I ever ate with tender pork and flavorful hominy. Chicken tinga whether in a sope, taco or pamboza is also superb.“

“Small Restaurant with small bar in back, I usually just order tacos to go, anf have a drink while i wait. The tacos are always amazing. They dont skimp on the fillings either. The staff is so nice and everyone pretty much is there to enjoy themselves.“

“Love the tacos de lengua. For my non spanish speaking people. The tongue tacos. Compared to other places they are on point. They use the big 5 inch corn tortilla. And they slice the tongue instead of cutting it into little squares. For those of you that know it's better that way. The only reason I don't give 5 stars on the food is because they don't have a really hot or spicy salsa. Other then that it's a great place to go.“

“Amazing ! Great customer service ! They are really nice and the food is fabulous!!“

“The food is very delicious, it took them a long time to bring us the food, like more than 45 minutes, that's the only bad thing about this place. But in general I would recommend it.

Parking: It takes a little work to find a place“
