I absolutely love those taco shops. Reminds me of Socal and Mexico where I've lived a great part of my life. Their tacos are bomb and the lady is super nice

Waited 25 minutes for 2 burritos. The driest chicken burrito I've ever had.

Very good food to my liking
The food is good but the service is terrible especially from a girl who is taking orders she gives you a piece of lemon and if you want more she charges you more

Very bad assistance from the staff as well as the owner personally I bought I didn't ask for a gift and they took care of me as if they were superior to the customers I do not recommend it for the reason how it is their way of being with the customers.

They recently hosted an event where they served food Rigler Elementary. I get that it can get hectic and chaotic in such events but it doesn't excuse making things personal, being rude and name calling.We were in line, waiting to receive food, courtesy of the school. Once it was our turn, we were told that we had to line up once more because we forgot to write down one of our names on a list. No worries. Understood. Got back in line, wrote the missing name and waited for our turn again.Once we got back to the front, we were told we couldn't receive food because we had already been at the front of the line before. We told them that one person in our party was missing food and we came back around after having been out on the list. They immediately called my wife a liar.We explained the situation, that we weren't getting seconds and that they were confused. She called us liars and that we were trying to abuse their system for extra food. We again, argued that it wasn't the case, that we even came around a second time to adhere to their rules.Ultimately, they ended up giving us the one plate of food that we were missing, but not without the most sour attitude they could do it in.What upset us about the situation was not the confusion of the ordeal, but rather, loudly being called liars and abusers. There was no need to go that far. Their rudeness probably translates to the restaurant itself as well. This alone was a bad enough of an experience to deter us from visiting or recommending this place.

I hate to give such a poor mixed review. This was my first time here. I order Carnitas and ground beef tacos and guacamole. Things were taking a VERY long time, like 15 minutes, which is a long time to just make some tacos. The women who took my order, updated me and said they were out of already made beef so they had to cook some more fresh. No problem, totally understand. Then five minutes later she said they were also out of avocados and the person she sent to the store said all the avocados are unripe so we won’t be able to give me guacamole. I would’ve been totally fine if they were upfront and said sorry we’re out of avocados. We can send somebody to the store and get some. At which point I would’ve said no thank you because I was on a schedule.Finally get food. And they’re probably the worst quality Carnitas meat that I’ve ever had. The meat that was in the taco was over heated (way too dry and crispy) and there were so many chewy non-meat bits in it that I had to spit most of it out and more fat than any other carnitas tacos I’ve had. I love me some marbled fat in my meat, but this was unreasonable low quality.Not sure if this place was just having a bad day with food quality. The Customer Service was really nice albeit a little lax on communication. I love checking out small authentic restaurants. But this place missed the mark.

Few Mexican restaurants bring out pressed masa tortillas and they actually use goat meat for their Birria.
