I don't know how we figured my order out..but the lady at the front desk and my spanglish got the order in. I have never had better tacos bisteca in my life. And also the aguas Fresca?!???? To die for. I got the pineapple. She side eyed me a little when I said I wanted all this food but it's Ramadan and ya girl is hungry. I also ordered ahead and they were able to get my food ready at the time to break my fast. Now that is EXCELLENT customer service.

Delicious!!!! I called for a quick pickup order on my way home from work and had the kids with me. My older one was begging me for birria tacos so I caved and ordered us a bunch. Each order comes with 3 large birria tacos, sopa, side of cilantro/onion and radishes. It was pretty filling. The flavors were fresh and exquisite. You can dine in, take out or do delivery. They charge a 3% transaction fee on credit cards & $10 minimum for card charges. There is street parking that's free after 6 but from 9-6pm, it's like 25¢ for an hour. They also make in house horchata & desserts (which if everyone wasnt starving we'd get too)

Came here for lunch with my dad and enjoyed an awesome authentic experience. Music was festive as well as the atmosphere! Our waitress was knowledgeable and gave us breakdown of all the options to the dishes they prepared. My dad thoroughly enjoyed his Mexican style tacos and their freshly made salsa! Along with this the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend trying this place out!

Wonderful little, homey, authentic, eatery. The staff very kindly helped me with the language barrier and found someone that explained some menu items I wasn't familiar with. Super nice and welcoming. Fresh, tasty, and generous servings.

Food 5/5 First time here, ordered the steak burrito, literally in awe. The burrito was insanely flavorful. Good portion, comes with shredded lettuce and tomatoes (not a salad). Service 4/5 I did not dine in. This rating is based on the pickup experience. Had to wait 5-7 minutes for someone to come out to the front desk to give me my food. I assume they were still setting up because I ordered right when they opened. Ambiance 5/5 Hole in the wall place, but it's as authentic as it gets.

Delicious authentic food. Had multiple times and have yet to be disappointed. We had the steak tacos and also Al pastor.

We love trying new restaurants and love Mexican food. The restaurant was clean. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The menu had lots to offer . The food was delicious, tasty and fresh. They have one of the best guacamole and pico de gallo.I had the shrimp a la mexicana with rice- would totally recommend. Order a side of chili if you like spice!

Overpriced food and drinks. Flautas chicken are tasteless. Tacos are ok. But only come with 1 tortilla on each so they rip apart when you bite them and make a mess. They also try and keep your change and say they don't have any. They did this twice on occasion. The first time they asked for 20 cents or they kept your dollar. The second time they kept it and claimed to not have any. Told them get me my change. They had it underneath the counter all along. Their horchata is 8 bucks for a large. 6 bucks for small guac but no chips. Highway roberry prices. Latinos be ware of this place

They missed an item from a large order and insisted it was included. I didn't want a refund, just an apology and didn't get that. The food we did get was

Food was actually pretty good surprisingly, coming from a mexican household, but these taquerias did taste very yummy! I will say that the ambiance isn't the greatest, a little sketchy but damn the food was worth the sketchiness! The service was decent only because they spoke very to none of English.

Cute spot for dinner! Reasonably priced. Good portions. Very casual inside, you pay at the counter. The waitress was so nice & attentive. A lot of people were getting takeout when we were there. The food was really good, I definitely recommend it. We’ll be back! (I started eating before I took the pics so the food doesn’t look as pretty but it tasted really good!)
