    “I wasn't expecting their type of set up. There's a very small space to stay & eat. You order your food (from multiple food options) from a kiosk & when your order is ready your name is called & they hand you your bagged food. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger Detroit style personal pizza (which was delicious). I also ordered brisket just in case I didn't like the pizza. I didn't have the brisket yet. The pizza was plenty & it was great. If I'm ever passing through the area again I would DEFINITELY stop here. Plenty of food options to choose from.”

    “Always fresh always tasty, everything I’ve ever gotten from them is a 10/10. The quality is always great but the quantity is hit or miss especially with the nachos. Maybe it depends on who’s making them that day. Sometimes its a nice big portion fills the container and sometimes it’s just like they threw some chips in the box slapped on a couple topping and you get half of a container while someone with the same has a full box. 5/10 for that. Prices are reasonable.”

Compared to surf taco, taco tastic wins on taste, little more money but you can tell Ingredients and cooking ia more authentic. Highly recommend.”

    “I totally love it here. You will too. From the moment you are seated you feel transported to a land of culinary perfection, warm family- run, friendly staff and a clean bright and cheery atmosphere. Seating is quick; nachos and 2 uncredible spicy salsas are brought right away. I love when salsa like this is so good. The soup is out of this world Chilate de Res huge slabs of tender stew beef with squash and fresh green beans in a mildly spicy tangy tomato broth that will blow away the senses. Served with several hot corn tortillas, cilantro and onions on the side. Molcajete Poblano I can barely describe in full detail but just look at the photo - FRESH MASSIVE shrimps, tender spiced beef, grilled chicken, leeks, cactus, tomatoes, peppers, onions & avocado in a blazing hot fancy pot to ensure it all stays hot. This was amazing- and comes with a huge plate of yellow rice & black beans. Enough for two, as was the soup. They play light Mexican ballads and have a nice sound system for a more enjoyable experience. Prices vs value makes your visit not just inexpensive.. its so reasonable for the sheer volume of food they bring you! My favorite thing is they have the Almost-chocolatey Ice-Cold Tiajuana-Bottled Refreshing Coca-Cola that you have to try at least once in your life! Also the staff.. I was offered everything befire i could even ask. Next the incredible flavors. Lastly: Nothing even matches the authentic FaMiLy-Sized- portions!! THEY OFFER CONTAINERS! Whatever i wrote is just the tip of the iceberg.. We will return to try more fantastic menu choices- again and again!!”
