The workers were friendly and checked on a few different items for my preference on how they were cooked. I get street style tacos in Mexico a few times a year and this place brought me back to that. I’ll be returning”

“We ordered carry out from here while staying in the area. We got the birria plate which came with corn tortillas, rice, beans, and a side of cilantro and diced onions as well as the kids burrito with rice and beans. Both were absolutely delicious. First, the food came out quickly and the staff were very kind and helpful. Also, the food was hot even once we got home and even came with chips and salsa free of charge. The corn tortillas tasted like they were homemade and the flavor of everything we had was exceptional. I am celiac and eat gluten free so I was a bit worried about the food being safe but I’ve eaten Mexican plenty before and made sure to choose options that would be the safest. Everything ended up being safe for me and I had no issues. Would definitely eat here again!”

“It's a good solid place for real Mexican tacos and burritos. The al pastor has actual chunks of pineapple in it. The asada is flavored correctly. There is a variety of salsas. My favorites are the fire and the mango habanero. Good solid authentic food.”

“I work at the dealership down the street, I’m a regular who comes here for lunch frequently, and I always order online and pick up in drive through. They were busier than usual today and the line was taking a long time. No big deal to me, I wasn’t bothered at all. When I got to the window they gave me a voucher for a free Doritos locos taco with my next order. I appreciate the gesture a lot. Thanks Taco Bell!”

“This was the best service I've ever received at a fast food restaurant. The cashier on shift at 3 pm was absolutely wonderful. He went above and beyond for my mother, son, and me. We dined in as we were traveling from out of town and needed to change the baby, etc. He wiped down our table, pulled out the baby seat, and even helped me to the bathroom. This is probably the best service I've received at ANY restaurant. He deserves a raise! Only reason for 4 star food was my order wasn't 100% correct.”

The grand prize includes two game tickets, hotel accommodations, flight vouchers, and a $300 Visa gift card. A hundred runner-up winners each receive a $25 El Pollo Loco gift card.
