About the third time I go now and I’m given the wrong meat. Specifically ordered one chicken torta and one beef, both were beef.. I used to really like this place but I can’t continue to waste money on a place that doesn’t double check their order tickets.

The stars are for the Dyer restaurant. I've also been to Lansing (on Torrence Ave). I'll tell you about both and compare them for you, but all I've ever eaten here is barbacoa because you can't find it by my house & I LOVE it. (My husband has tried a couple of other things, but he'd never had barbacoa before and once he tried mine, that's all he's eaten, also. 😂)
🔸Dyer - I've been here many times. It's not fancy, but it's clean and the service is quick. I've eaten inside and taken my food to go. You order at the counter and they bring you the food which is DELICIOUS‼️ It's the best barbacoa I've had in YEARS! So good! 😋
🔸Lansing - I've only been here once. I took my food to go. It looks a little fancier (more colorful and modern) and it appeared as though they had more people working there, but the service didn't seem quite as fast as in Dyer, and this restaurant is on the corner of a very busy street, and it was dinner time. (The Dyer restaurant is not as big for inside dining, but it's also very busy. However, it's located in a not very busy corner mall.)
I was disappointed in Lansing's barbacoa after having eaten Dyer's many times and come to expect steady perfection. Here, it was dark and dried out. It's a good thing I ordered some guacamole on the side to add to my tacos. I always order extra cheese on my tacos but here, I don't think I even got the normal amount and I paid almost a dollar a taco for it. (So much for my "Taco Tuesday" discount.) My husband ordered the same in a burrito and he felt the same way that I did. We were very disappointed when we got home - and the food was still very hot, so we can't blame it on that.
I never thought to order guacamole in Dyer, but in Lansing they have an open freezer (to the side) for Mexican popsicles and such, and an open fridge right at the counter, so the guacamole, amongst other things (I don't remember what), were impossible to ignore. I did appreciate that they offered two kinds - with everything and plain. Not only was it very tasty, but I had a small amount left because I didn't eat all of my food at once, and the guacamole stayed fresh and green in my fridge for TWO DAYS! Unheard of!
So, all in all, I might try the Lansing location again, but the Dyer location is totally in my heart for their barbacoa and people. Time after time it's been tender and scrumptious and the people are warm and friendly - something I cannot say about the Lansing location.
Btw, both places have plenty of free parking - in Lansing, on both sides of the building and in Dyer, a large, shared lot right in front. Wheelchair accessibility is good in Dyer, but I think it would be more difficult in Lansing.

I've only ordered through DoorDash, but the homemade tortilla chips are amazing! The nachos are the best I've ever had and don't get me going on their salsa.... This place is outstanding!

I ordered 2 steak tacos close to closing and went and picked my food up , got back to my destination and opened my bag and only was given 1 steak taco. I was charged for 2 @$7.53. Tried calling and of course they’re closed and no vm. This is the 2nd time, I will never patronize this business again. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD!!!!!

The service is terrible the bitter woman at the cash register loves to take personal calls and ignore customers. The food is poor quality, overcooked, and stale. Not impressed with the environment and sticky tables & floors. Two thumbs way down, prefer other more authentic Mexican places with caring service and beautiful atmosphere.

Really tasty, quality food! The steak isn't gristly like so many other places. They're very generous with their portions. The tamales are great, and they have the best guacamole other than homemade! Also, there is quality and care in their packaging. You won't find
The food here is always great. My daughter loves the carnitas and I can’t get enough of the barbacoa. The chips and salsa are some of the best. Overall, I’m always looking forward to coming in here. Now they don’t always get my order exactly right when it comes to add this or minus that, but I don’t care, their meats are properly seasoned and juicy. I recommend the barbacoa tacos with minimal stuff on them and add a little of their green salsa, fire!

Food is average they use cheap carne and cheap chicken.
The carnitas on the weekends is good not 5 star good though
If you didn't grow up around the Hispanic culture then this food will taste amazing to you but the real ones know this place is average at best

This place has wonderful food and it sure is filling. I love coming here once in a while but I have noticed some things over the years. Waiting for a take out order feels awkward, at other places I feel welcomed and comfortable but sometimes I sure do feel like sprinting out and waiting in my car especially when it takes 40 minutes for one order!! (I understand rushes but this has happened a few times when the place isn't busy either). The service has gotten alot better in the last year. The girl that used to be at the counter sounded passive aggressive over the phone and was always impatient in person and did roll her eyes once or twice, I haven't seen her in months and don't despise walking in for my order anymore. The food can seem a little overpriced but once in a while it for sure is worth it.
