“🌮🔥 Hidden Gem Alert! 🔥🌮 Okay, y’all… I just stumbled into a little slice of Mexico right here in the neighborhood—and I am SHOOK (in the best way possible)! I popped in just to pick up someone else’s order (yes, I was the food fairy 🧚🏽‍♀️), and even without tasting a single bite, I already know this spot is about to become my new go-to. This place? AUTHENTIC with a capital “A.” From the smell of freshly grilled tortillas to the warm welcome from the owner (who told me they’ve been rocking it for 5 YEARS?!), I was sold instantly. Like… how have I been sleeping on this?! 😩 The decor? Simple but real. It’s giving “don’t judge a taco by its tortilla.” And even though I didn’t eat (YET), let me tell you something: if vibes had flavor, I already know this food SLAPS. I mean, you can just feel it in the air. My next visit? I’m pulling up hungry and leaving with a belly full of love and salsa. 💃🏽🌶️ Local folks—support this spot! The owner mentioned they need more exposure, and honestly, they deserve ALL the love. Let’s not let this little treasure stay hidden. Put it on your food map. Mark it with a 🌮. #HiddenGem #MexicanMagic #NeighborhoodEats #AuthenticAF #TacoTuesdayEveryday“

“My first visit today, two beef tacos, they were very good, excellent service, clean, and friendly, love 'em, I'll be back.“

“Good food, nice staff. I carried out and ordered the nachos, once. The beans and cheese were missing from the order, which was inconvenient but stuff happens. I didn't realize it till I got home. The staff took care of it and were professional and courteous. They made me a new batch and gave me extra sides for the order I took originally. So I ended up with 2 orders. They were both delicious! Lol... I will go back for sure.“

“Best natural grande at the Pontiac location go there you'll enjoy“

“I had 5 broken teeth and 2 large abscesses and couldn't eat much of anything but was starving. I was looking for something soft to gum. Thinking tamales or beans and cheese. Of the options the flour tortilla beef birria seemed to be the best fit. I ordered those, a side of beans and, a side of consomme. Was amazing. Just on the edge of what I can tolerate heat wise (I am a wimp). Great taste. I used the consomme to make birria ramen for a later meal. (Just beef ramen, 2 sticks string cheese, and the consomme). It was also great, very satisfying.“

“Love their food, very fresh, salsa is delicious, service can be slow, but food is worth the wait“

“Great food. I love the burritos. Fajitas were ok, I have had better. Quick place to grab authentic food. Staff is very friendly. I love their salsa verde. Nothing exciting about the atmosphere it's just a place you can sit down and eat good food.“

“Everytime I am in the area I stop here for my favorite Tacos de Lengua. Their salsas are really good and the beans and rice are perfect. It’s in the back of a store so the parking isn’t always great but I always find a place to park. People are very friendly“

“Came in for Boston for work. Looking for a great tequila bar with amazing prices I found it in Cosmic Burrito. Thanks Pablo! I’ll be back on my next trip. 🤙“

“OMG! The food is delicious! Authentic Mexican food. I had the 2 taco dinner, chicken, and it was flavored so well, just the right amount of spice and even had lime on the side. It was fantastic. My husband had the Burrito Supreme and it took up the whole plate! He had fork the burrito and stuffings into his mouth. The salsa and queso were so good with nice chuncky veggies in them. We live almost an hour away and we will definitely make the effort to come back!“

“We had Regina’s at our backyard wedding this past weekend and we couldn’t recommend them enough. They were incredibly easy to work with, organized, timely, and professional while providing delicious food! Our guest raved about their tacos and served food very quickly. We would love to have them at other functions and will seek them out wherever their truck is at. Truly couldn’t recommend Regina’s food truck enough!“

“The place before this was terrible but so glad they got new owners! The food is finally up to par and the restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. Great drinks as well! The Bahama mama is excellent! Five stars is only for a place that really knocks my socks off, so four is good.“

“My favorite local spot! I have been going to Lucas for over 2 years, before they even opened the store I’d stop at the food truck and pick up my steak quesadilla.

My food is always correctly made, fresh, and tastes good. I bring friends and have told people to go, everyone says it tastes good and we get a variety of options.“

“First time trying it and let me say I regret not trying it sooner. I was a bit hesitant but Chris was extremely helpful and made so many great recommendations. I had the quesadillas (chicken), chips and queso. The dessert was over the top. When I say I am not typically a big eater I tried some of everything. The best part the servings were ample enough I have left overs for a day or two. In addition to Chris the staff was welcoming and friendly. I will be back. Chris needs a raise for doing an amazing job!!“
