The food is okay, the only reason I would not recommend this place is because of the staff. The guy and the older lady are very nice and know how to treat clients. The younger lady, on the other side has no respect she was very rude, trying to hurry us to order. This restaurant has their main dishes on exhibition, which my guess are there for clients to see, we were taking our time to take a look at them.
Once my family was ready to pay she was very impatient, we were separating our check and she assumed we were not paying one check. “wait who is paying the rest.” She needs to work on here customer service skills.

We ran into this place by chance, but it is the best thing that could've happened for us. The service is fantastic!
There is so much warmth and pride in their business, I felt welcomed and at home. Like visiting your family, truly comforting. Next, the food... omg! We ordered chips and salsa; the chips were perfectly crispy and salted while the salsas were SO delicious and flavorful. We then had tacos; carnitas, pastor and tripa I was trying to pick a favorite but it was impossible. They were so flavorful and the salsas they offer were the perfect compliment to them. The tacos are served with grilled jalapeño, onions and lime.
We complemented this delicious food with horchata and cantaloupe juice (which was natural), I think that's the most authentic horchata l've tried in NC so far
Before leaving, we were offered dessert which we could not decline. We went for the choco-flan and OMG!! It is is so amazing, there no words to describe it... please go try this place! You won't regret it! I personally can't wait to go back for their Taco Tuesday special, tacos are $1.50 each

I wanted something simple and what better offer do they have on Tuesdays: TACOS TUESDAYS 🌮 this restaurant has a variety of selections. I recommend some but above all the service is super ✨ thank you very much for serving me.

One of the top burritos I've had, and that's saying alot coming from a California native. On the downside, prices are steep. I paid 16 dollars for a breakfast burrito. Technically it was a custom order since bfast burritos are missing from their menu, but their standard burrito is still $14. Burritos in LA, SD, and SF dont cost that much.

Haven’t had tacos this good since moving here from Arizona. This place is legit. People are so hospitable and friendly. The guy is putting his job aside to support her restaurant and fixing up the place. You can tell the food and place is a labor of love. Come for tacos and leave with thick and crispy tortilla chips. They make their food fresh everyday. Come on Tuesday for Taco Tuesday and chicharrones!

I highly recommend this for Taco Tuesday but some of the other offerings look great as well . If you like Mexican food, you should check this place out! Very friendly service is a plus too
They have got a few sauces too that are all great. My favorites are Habanero and the smoked sauce.

This place is delicious in all of the categories. I had chicken with mole, rice and beans, and a cantaloupe agua fresca (they also had cucumber lime and jamaica, which were tops). The mole was outstanding. Very friendly service and clientele. Great prices and very generous. I recognize some of the cafeteria style food as kind of Dominican, but I could be wrong. Impossible to find anything bad to say about this place.
