Gourmet tacos are too expensive or spending $50 dollars overnight for some tacos is serious. Better go to TACOS EL

Racist establishment. They DO NOT like black people! The waitress completely ignored my table. I watched her greet a Hispanic couple as they came in while I had been waiting for 15+ minutes for a menu and water. She continued to walk past me as she gave food , water and menus to other customers. Karma coming for you

My receipt was a piece of paper written in pencil with no total, without knowing how much they charged me per taco. I only know that for 5 muni tacos and 4 regular ones it was 40 dollars and when I asked for the receipt, they gave me that paper, all falsely done wrong.

This restaurant is very expensive! And the food is very salty, the truth is I won't go back and I don't really recommend it.

Great Food, But the Atmosphere Desperately Needs Improvement

We’re regulars at this place because of the food—it’s hard to beat when it comes to authentic Mexican dishes at affordable prices. The flavors are spot-on, the right amount of spices is always used, and everything tastes amazing. My wife loves one particular dish, which keeps us coming back.

That said, the owners really need to address some major issues with the atmosphere. As soon as you walk in, you notice a lot of gunk and dirt on the windows, cluttered with too much advertising. The floors feel greasy and don’t seem properly cleaned, and the ceiling tiles are stained with water marks, giving the place an overall rundown and uninviting appearance.

The restrooms, unfortunately, are among the worst I’ve seen in any restaurant. They’re in dire need of attention and don’t match the quality of the food served here.

While the food is the saving grace, it’s clear why many people are choosing competitors with cleaner, more welcoming environments. If the owners could put some effort into improving cleanliness and updating the space, this place could easily become a top choice for Mexican cuisine. Until then, it’s a mixed experience.

Months ago we went to eat and the bill was more, we thought they changed the prices or something like that, but we returned on 10|4|24 and the lady serves you horribly and reluctantly, and apparently they charge you a 20% tip. MANDATORY? Clear. The bill does not come with what is eaten and well no, they are overly cynical. They should hand over the ticket with the price of each dish.

Food is good.
The problem is that the cookers don’t use gloves and we don’t know if they washed their hands..
Food got very pricey and they don’t give out the receipt as much just when you ask for it.

The tacos are good, I just went with my family and when paying I wanted to check the bill and the receipts do not come with a description of each individual price, I made the bill and it was different from the total they charged me, I tried to tell the lady She charged me but she said she couldn't do anything because that was the total that came out at the cash register. It should be noted that the difference in the total was quite noticeable since there was a 15 dollar difference. I RECOMMEND REVIEWING YOUR TOTALS AND DON'T BE CONFIDENT.

Just one thing I need to let everyone know. They have regular tacos with tortillas el milagro... :) tacos were really good and the hot sauce was very spicy ? ? ? I recommend that Mexican restaurant but if your aren't really hungry ask for the mini tacos :)
