The best Mexican food

Graham Meinert

Most of the staff seem to speak very little English but the food is absolutely worth the slight added effort to communicate. Every time I've been there everyone had been friendly and patient. Well worth the stop. Tacos and tamales are all excellent. The quesadilla I got for a coworker was a little disappointing - no crispy cheese around the edge. That is the worst failure I've experienced in several years of eating there. The tacos pastor don't have pineapple which kind of surprised me, but they're really tasty so I keep ordering them.Dietary restrictions: In years of eating there with celiac I have never had a problem with either the tamales or tacos. I doubt that the phrase "gluten free" will help you any with the staff, but I'll personally vouch for the corn tortillas and tamales.

I said "I need three burritos" and she said "ok, pick up will be ready in ten minutes." That's exactly what the world needs. Quick, reliable burritos. So happy to have found this spot. Great food. Great service. Great place.

The tacos are delicious and authentic. Great customer service as well. I had the steak and tongue tacos. There was a bit more fat on the steak than I like, but still delicious.

Food was great and in huge portions. Service was quick but you have to know that all orders are ala carte. It is storefront not fine dining but I'd choose it for the flavor and authenticity over any fast food Mexican chain store.

I ordered a burrito which was 9.99When I looked at the receipt they had charged me $13.00 they charge me for a water cup. Obviously I was gonna pay three dollars for a water cup. The week before I ordered pork tamales and they gave me red chicken which I did not order. The problem was I took him to go and I had already arrived to my home and couldn’t return them. Normally I wouldn’t post this but this is not acceptable.Also the burrito I ordered shows that you get avocado in the picture which is in the menu and there is no avocado in the burrito.

If you are looking for an authentic Mexican experience try this place! The steak taco and the chicken quesadilla were delicious and the staff was friendly and speedy. I can't wait to go back!

My friend took me here earlier today. The torta I had was delicious, and I would inject their salsa verde in my veins.

Tamales are so good

Good service, food came out quickly and was good. I ordered the Cubana Torta (loaded with breaded chicken, ham, beans, avocado, and an egg). And my wife ordered red pork tamales with rice and beans. I had a Coca Cola (I liked how they had Mexican cola in the glass bottles) and my wife had her favorite horchata (Mexican rice drink). We will be back.

The tamales had really great flavor. I tried both the pollo and frijoles. They were stuffed full of ingredients. I also tried a chicken and chorizo taco. Both were delicious. The staff were friendly. My items were cooked to order.
