Lamentablemente las porciones de tacos son muy pequeñas para el precio y 4 tacos $20dll y un agua grande de Jamaica $6 era solo agua con azúcar y parece que la rebajaron no tenía sabor a Jamaica .. muy decepcionado.. les recomiendo el restaurante los corrales en la broad st frente al 7/11
Came to this restaurant for a meal before heading to a planned engagement. Restaurant is well lit and cheerful. TV playing with futbol on. I enjoyed the atmosphere. I ordered asada tacos and a tamale and grapefruit Jarritos. Waitress was kind and polite. Order came out with an okay wait time. I unfortunately experience the asada to have been over cooked, the meat was tough. I also had a huge tendon in my tamales. If it supposed to be served that way, it was not my taste. Service was good. I would try other items on the menu. Thanks for the overall good experience.

It definitely fits the "hole in the wall" stereotype and the food is amazing. We had chicken tacos in soft shells as well as the ribs in green sauce. Super yummy and a lovely staff. Will definitely go again!

Food was just ok. The rice and black beans was very salty and my bistek was not the typical bistek flavor I am used to having at many other Mexican places.
They have both indoor and outdoor seating however there is no a.c. indoors, so we opted for outdoors yesterday (July) but thank goodness it was not a hot evening. The floor indoors towards the cashier and restrooms is very slippery/greasy.
Service is towards the slower side only because they only have one person managing the register, taking ordsrs, and serving. Despite this, she was moving around as best as she could in a friendly manner.
The coca cola is a 335ml bottle from Mexico made with cane sugar (slightly better ingredients than the American coca cola.

I went in this place I ordered tamales I said and I waited about 30 minutes this is after I have paid for them after 30 minutes they came out and told me they didn't have any and refunded me my money but I didn't get all my money back and they keep from being confrontational I just walked out and asked when they would have any tamales and she said Friday I will never go back here you should never sell an item if you don't have any I will order my tamales from Texas and have them delivered. It was quite a nice restaurant at what day was cooking in the back did smell delicious but nothing next up for me not getting a full refund.

Don’t order Chips and salsa for $4. All you get is a small bag of chips and just two small sauces that are meant to go on your food like the green and red sauce in a small little container. Misleading I will not order chips and salsa again from here.
Been coming here since they open the food is consistently delicious little hole in the wall but the food is off the hook. Try it you’ll like it.
