“This is my second time trying this place. The first time was about a year ago and it didn't really stand out to me.

This time around I decided to give it another try, and let me tell you they upped their flavor.

They were having a special when I went in for $2 tacos so I decided to try a bunch of them. Everything was delicious. The birria consume was very flavorful, almost like a gravy rather than an oily mess.

The rice was well seasoned but not too much. Had a nice middle ground as far as flavor / not being too over powering goes.

Last time I had the churros and those were bomb and filled with something like a cinnamon toast crunch cream filling, but once again it wasn't too much. The balance was just right.

All in all, I'll be back again. Thank you!“

“From the very first bite, this place completely won me over. The tacos al pastor are packed with rich flavor and perfectly cooked pork, paired with a green sauce that keeps you coming back for more. The empanadas and pupusas are just as satisfying and clearly made with care. The hot food counter offers a great variety, and every dish I have tried so far has been excellent. Even without seating, the quick and friendly service makes the experience enjoyable. The staff is welcoming and happy to explain the menu, which adds a personal touch. This spot truly feels like a special find and is absolutely worth visiting.“

“Loved the game was on Colombia vs Jordan, soccer. The empanadas are always perfect. The music was good. Love the lights and murals outside. Our server Darlin was sweet. I ordered a drink a certain way and they did it which I was super happy about it. It was very tiny but tasty. She said the bartender couldn’t return it if I didn’t like it since I asked for it warm. I loved it but also wasn’t going to return it. Offering humble service in an establishment is the best in my opinion“
