Horrendous service. Put order in for basic tacos and empanadas. Took over 35 mins and there was no one else there. Not sure why it would take so long.

I came by because of the great reviews. I gotta say, the service was terrible. The lady handling the front and taking orders was inhospitable and not helpful at all. I asked for an order of crispy tacos, which were just taquitos (4 in an order). I asked to do 2 chicken and 2 sausage and potatoes, she said no lol. All good, just got chicken and then she walked away. I stood there for a while expecting to pay, but after 5 minutes standing there awkwardly, she said the food will take time. Again, at this point, just hoping the food is good. I waited outside for another 10 minutes, came back in and paid almost 17 bucks for 4 taquitos and a jarritos drink. Whoa, these better be amazing. There are no prices for the food aren’t listed on the board, nor was I given an itemized copy so not sure what was so expensive. Anyway, the food was fine, the portion was small, but it was tasty enough. I wouldn’t go back though. I think it’s worth driving further out to find authentic Mexican food. Again, friendly service goes a long way. Also, totally not a language barrier thing, I spoke Spanish to her ?

Great local find with authentic Oxacan food; our family favorite for Mexican food in the area. I give it 5 star for food for its taste and authenticity. It is fairly informal, expect take out joint ambience with a few tables.It is one of the few places where you can get authentic Oxacan Tlayuda ( Oxacan pizza), Chile Rellenos, fresh steamed Tamales. They also have a great Flan and Tres Leches.

Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian options including a Zuccini enchilada and wrap. Highly reccomend Poblano pepper and cheese tamale but usually they run out of that option.

Nice, place where you can eat and pick up items needed before going home. Had soft and hard tacos both were tasty, and the sauces were great!

The food here is superb, very authentic, and still quite reasonable despite all they must have dealt with the last few years. It’s the kind of “from the ground up” place you should support.

The vegetarian black bean burrito is superb. The hot and spicy salsa is crazy hot. Even their regular salsa has a nice enough flavor to it with a little bit of heat. The sope is okay at least a vegetarian version and I thought the bread was way too thick.

Went there because of the reviews. Chicken empanada was bland. Too much corn tortilla to filling ratio. Incredibly Greasy. Not sure if thats how authentic Mexican should taste like. Maybe it is… the staff is friendly but the food lacked flavor.
