We ordered take out from here a few days ago and it was great! Tacos, quesadilla, rice, beans, chips and queso…all delicious. We especially enjoyed the green and red hot sauces that came with our orders. Can’t wait to order from here again!

Food is good but the service needs work 3 times i have order head time to avoid waiting there's a set time for pickup but when I do go I end up waiting another 30 minutes every time.

This place has always been one of my go-tos for takeout and I usually love it, but tonight was disappointing. I ordered my usual chorizo gordita, and it seems like they’ve changed their chorizo. The new one tastes really different and not nearly as good as before. I also wanted to try one of their specials, the chicken tinga tostada, but instead I was given a sandwich. That mistake really threw me off and I didn’t appreciate it. They should definitely make sure takeout orders are correct before handing them out. Hoping this was just an off night, because I usually really enjoy their food.

Always friendly service, good food, and good portions. I live very close and get take-out burritos frequently. The dining room looks nice too. It's run by real Mexican immigrants who are good cooks.

I got a squash blossom burrito which was good, but I started pulling it apart and found meat in it. My friend also got a burrito with no beans, which they wrote down, and then still added beans. Food was pretty good but definitely not vegetarian or allergy friendly. Seems like there is a lot of cross contamination.

We had a birthday party there with 17 people. The owner worked with to create the perfect night. All the staff were so friendly and seems to really enjoy our large party… which doesn’t happen everywhere. Food was delicious. I had the steak burrito and it was juicy and tasty. Gorditas were delicious and many many tacos were eaten. Everyone loved the Mexican Coke and other drinks. Would highly recommend for any celebration. Or even just for dinner with the family one night. Service was outstanding!

Amazing addition to our town!
We don’t have many (or any) true Mexican food options around here, so this new restaurant has been such a great addition!
The food is absolutely delicious — I’m obsessed with their gorditas! Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor. The owner is also really kind and always checks in to make sure everything’s perfect.
You can tell they care about their customers. Definitely one of my new favorite spots to dine in or take out!

Absolute blessing of a restaurant. The food is incredible. The hot sauce that comes with the burrito that has a bit of smokyness and heat is the best I've ever had, anywhere.

Love the vegetarian options. So far I’ve tried the cacti and squash blossom burritos. Both delicious!

First, service was excellent. Very nice server. He did mention that he and his sister work there. There was one additional gentleman there as well. Cook maybe? Food came out fast. We did not wait for long at all. Restaurant is very clean, bright and Hispanic. Just what you want in a Mexican restaurant. Now the food. It was so-so for us. The queso was more like veleeta with veggies sprinkled on top. The salsa was smooth, which I loved, but it had an odd smokey flavor to it. Not spicy, it was smokey. We got steak fajitas and chicken enchiladas. The corn tortillas were rubbery and hard. The steak was crisselly, tough and chewy. But the flavor was spot on. It's like they use the cheapest cut of beef possible. The chicken enchiladas with mole sauce wasn't that great. The mole sauce was sweet. I've never had it that sweet before. The tortillas were overcooked to the point that they were difficult to cut. The chicken in the tortilla was excellent. I unrolled the enchiladas and just ate the chicken. Rice and refried beans were superb. Not sure if we'll return, but at least we gave it a try.
