Our large party of 12 family members met for a holiday meal together and had the most wonderful time and delicious food ever. The staff members were fantastic, great service and atmosphere. Loved it here.

I ordered the tacos and my husband had the burrito. The food came out hot and was fresh. The portions were a large, especially for the money ($8 for a burrito at a sit down restaurant is unheard of in Florida), and everything taste really good. Beyond the food which was exceptional, what really impressed me is that I left my purse at the restaurant and THE OWNER brought it to my hotel. The young lady that took my order remembered I mentioned flying out the next day and the owner made a point to find where I was staying and brought my purse (with my ID, money, credit cards etc... inside ) to my hotel. Clean restaurant, great tasting food, staff with integrity, and an owner with a killer smile and a heart of gold, 10's across the board.

Such a great place to eat! Not only is the vibe great, the restaurant clean and welcoming but the food is amazing! The birria tacos are my favorite and the birria pizza is such a fun addition to the menu. You can’t go wrong with anything though! Do yourself a favor and go give it a try!

As someone who grew up in Southern California, where some of the best tacos come from, it has been so hard to find anything decent in the panhandle the last 9 years we have lived here. These come as close to what I am use to, that I have found — they were delicious!

The food has been great everytime we've been here! I love the fresh made corn tortillas and chips! I've even gotten fresh tortillas to go!
The carnitas, shrimp and birria tacos have all be great, the green pork chili was also top notch!

Really nice interior and welcoming host. And the food was absolutely amazing the birra tacos and al pastors are a must. Most places skimp on flavor for the rice and beans but I was very impressed with it. Will definitely be coming again!

Staying in town for work and this place is near the hotel, so I figured I’d check it out. I was told the tacos were discounted for Taco Tuesday…..so I decided to try 4 different tacos. I went in with low expectations. I’ve had a tough time finding decent Mexican food in Nebraska and the place was empty, but then the chips and salsa flight came out. I realized at that point that this could be better than I expected. A few minutes later the tacos came out and I actually sat and looked at them for a minute before I tasted anything. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The scratch made tortillas looked incredible and they didn’t skimp on the protein. The carnitas definitely looked the part, so I tried a piece of the pork before diving into the taco and was in awe. It can be really hard to pull off good carnitas and they nailed it. Good crisp and flavor while still being moist. Next up was the Al Pastor, which was also incredible. As I finished that, my server (I think he was the owner) checked in to see how my meal was going and I told him that there was a good chance I’d be placing another order. I finished off my carne asada and birria taco and knew I had to try more….so it was time for round two. I ordered 4 more: barbacoa, fish, chicken, and one more carnitas. All were excellent. Each protein clearly well thought out and executed beautifully, and each taco elevated by those scratch made tortillas looked incredible. I know I may sound like a pig, and I kind of feel like one sitting here in my hotel room, but that was easily one of the top 3 taco experiences of my life. I’d put those up against any I had living in Phoenix for 20+ years or various vacations in Mexico. Top notch food and service. I hope this place catches on because Scottsbluff has a true gem. I will be back every time I’m in town. Thank you for a fantastic experience!
