i ordered 2 chicken quesadillas. when picking up my order they only gave me one and then set a new order for my second to be made. the second order had no chicken nor the sides as soon in the picture. they also gave me an attitude when i asked for what i ordered. its not like i asked for no rice and they gave me rice. i ordered 2 plates and got one but was met with poor service and lack luster food

Excellent food for a fair price. Friendly staff, one even used google translate to help me with my questions which is going above and beyond. Absolutely worth checking out if you want some authentic Mexican food.

Very good Mexican food.

I’m certain they did something to my tacos drugged them. I heard what they said in Spanish, and they clearly didn’t think I understood, but I did. I threw the food out, but part of me keeps thinking about showing up again just to see that guy.

I went here for a nice easter dinner with my family. We sat down and immediately the music was blasting. We asked the waitress to turn it down twice and it was still too loud. The waitress was sweet and I know she could probably only turn it down so much, not her fault. Then as soon as we got our food, three to four flies were flying around the food. It was so gross. We got our food in takeout boxes and left. Service was good, though.

Was hoping to find this place delicious but the rice tasted like it was cooked 3 days ago the portion for the money was small ad I got more salad then the entree itself . So sad :(

Moving to NC from LA, I’ve been searching for authentic, street style tacos. I drove 45 minutes one way before my work shift just to try their tacos birria - oh my god. Excellent tacos and consommé. They also have maduros and rice pudding, and a variety of Spanish sodas. I work in the service industry, and even the presentation in the to go box was thoughtfully put together. 10/10, I will be back.

My husband and I love this place. It's a little hole in the wall, not a ton of bells and whistles, but the food is fantastic! It's never too busy (not sure a lot of people know about it). We love Wednesdays because they offer $1.59 tacos. You gotta ask for that deal to get them. The birria is so good! The cheese dip with chorizo is amazing! Always reliably good food. We go any time we can!

Kid-friendliness: They do offer a kids menu. My kids love their fries (so do we!).

I went with my friend and she ordered the tostadas while I got the chicken nachos. Best chicken nachos I've ever had in my life and she said what she ordered was fantastic. The salsa and chips were delicious too. I can't recommend this place enough. Food was amazing and the service was exceptional.

Food was very bland. We were shocked that we were served unseasoned food particularly at a Mexican restaurant. We had birria tacos. The birria tacos should’ve been flavorful but they literally even needed salt, among other additions. The chips (from the chips and salsa) were also stale. The service was also very very slow. They had one waitress so we were there for 2+ hours during lunch. We waited a long time just to order, then a long time to pay. Ultimately the food was at least edible, I guess, even if not pleasant. The waitress was decent even if the service was slow. Won’t be coming back though.
