Prepare to spend up to 50% more than what the menu has listed. Especially for drinks. Apparently somebody “made a mistake” when printing that menu so that all the prices are only for the non-alcoholic versions. But they won’t tell you that before you order, you just have to find out after you look at your check.

Quite possibly the best traditional and authentic Mexican food around.

Amazing Authentic Mexican Tacos and Soups. Some of the best Lamb tacos I ever had. A must try spot!

Good food. Nothing to write home about. But definitely authentic. Service was good and people were nice too.

This is a truly hidden gem I would have never imagined unless I was lost and needed food and googled it located right next-door to a laundromat and an amazing crew of tire service man next-door I could potentially say that I will definitely be back for the food their tacos are the best authentic Mexican style tacos I have ever had! (And I've traveled everywhere)

A Hidden Gem!! The pollo tacos are seasoned PERFECTLY!! The onions and cilantro are always fresh, and sauce options vibrant. I love that they are packaged in foil instead of styrofoam. I always complement my tacos with sides of beans and rice and they never fail.. at least the food doesn't. I wish they'd figure a way to properly package the beans so half of them don't end up in the bag. Either way, I HIGHLY recommend this place, but they only accept CASH so be prepared, and if you order the beans to go, put something under them for transport.

Not so great. It would've been nice to know they accept CASH ONLY. Rice was very blah and tasted like $1 Uncle Ben's. Tacos were decent but the carnitas tasted a bit old. Staff was nice. No COVID precautions.

This place is the best part about Covid19. I never would have found this place if all my normal places didn't close. If you are in the mood for some great food from an unexpected location, try this place. You'll be so glad you did.

I've driven by this place 1000x and never thought much of it. I'm glad we finally went today, it's a pretty unassuming location but the food is excellent. I had 3 tacos: chicken, carne and pastor- all were great but the pastor was 10/10. $7 for 3, with sides of green and hot salsa. It felt and tasted like Mexico City. They also have a small grocery store that probably carries more items than what they had out today, but could be an easy place to grab Mexican sodas, beers and other odds and ends. They have a lunch special - 2 tacos w rice and beans for $3.95; will go back to try that next.

DO YOU WANT HOME -MADE AUTHENTIC FOOD?If you do, go here! This is not TEXMEX. This is the real deal! The food was awesome and brought out with little wait. Great family-owned business. What to get? Tacos , Tortas and even the Micheladas! We were here for an NFL game and decided to get some food here. Don't hesitate, this place is fire !

As you soon as you walk into this place you feel like you've entered a mom & pop place south of the border. Very informal, you sit yourself, can get your own soft drinks and beers out of the refrigerator and place your order with the server. While the interior is plain, the food is excellent. Tortillas for quesadillas are handmade! The bistec, al pastor, chorizo, and tripa were delicious. The al pastor had a really good adobada taste. Salsas were pretty good as well. Make sure you take cash as they don't accept credit cards yet. Check it out!
