Rudest server/cashier ever! I asked for an Americano with an extra shot and she literally handed me tepid drip coffee! She lied through her teeth when I asked if she had given me drip coffee. She said no that it had come from the espresso machine. That was all b.s. bc the machine did not even run or make any noise. How can an americano be ready in just seconds?? Every time I have gone in there she is rude, unpleasant and seems to be miserable and unhappy to be there. Do not go there!!!

Just ate a delicious carnitas breakfast burrito. Good price, extra friendly service, and colorful atmosphere. They also offer a free bowl of pozole every Saturday no questions asked. Good hearted people. Sorry I didn't take any pictures.

Cute place and the food had good taste, staff was very friendly. The place needs a bit of updating. The reason I gave it 3 stars is that I went the next day to trying to give them some business but they were close even though I was there during normal business hours and even the sign was lit. I liked it but not sure if I will come back if they can’t keep consistent business hours.

Cashier wouldn’t let me sit down to order.
Walked in carrying a toddler and a huge purse and I just wanted to sit and look at a menu but was told I have to stand at the counter…. So weird especially since I was carrying a child.
The breakfast burrito was disappointing. It tasted like propane and had no flavor otherwise. What made the experience worse was the customer service. When I asked about protein options, the cashier just pointed at the menu instead of answering me directly. I am partially blind, which is why I asked for help.
Businesses should prioritize accessibility and basic courtesy but this felt like the opposite. I won’t be coming back, and I hope the management reconsiders how they train their staff on helping all customers.

Small portions, tasty food though.
As a Mexican these tacos are an embarrassment.
The cashier must really hate this job, had the worst attitude and customer service.
I had to get a remake since I asked for a steak taco and got chicken.
Then I got the remake made in less than 1 minute. Which would be awesome except this is not steak. This seems like the ground beef or something. It’s has pink, flavorless, gross and full of grizzle. Then they rushed so fast they forgot my lime, onion and cilantro.
Don’t come here.
“Steak” taco was 0/10
Other tacos were like 3/10
The red salsa is good, actually spicy 8/10

The breakfast burrito was disgusting. Not even edible, I took one bite and had to throw it away. The staff seemed to inconvenienced by our presence. I do not recommend wasting your money at this restaurant.

Why have an outside seating area for people to use just to have security come and remove them?

This is the foulest food I have ever eaten. I had a breakfast burrito the first time. It was bad. And then I was forced, by circumstances, to eat here another time. The fish in the taco was burnt on the outside a rotten on the inside. Seriously smelled and tasted spoiled. It seems silly to talk about the stale chips and bad salsa with the fish experience. I can't believe this place is still open and hasn't caused serious health problems.

This place has gross food. I got the breakfast burrito and the potatoes were undercooked, meat was dry, nothing had flavor. For nearly $15. Waste of money.
Great fish tacos. Fresh, tasty and filling. Green and red salsa and limes, tacos are deep fried and abundant covered in purple cabbage and avocado if asked for.

I don’t like leaving bad reviews but holy cow this place is bad and it feels like a public service to do so. Literally the worst tacos I’ve ever had the displeasure of trying anywhere coast to coast. Flavorless, bad cuts of meat poorly cooked. Plus really bad service that made me feel like I was ruining someone’s day by being a customer. Cherry on top was the overwhelming smell of rotten meat and garbage coming from the trash can. Trash doesn’t smell like after a day, or two days, or a week. I’ve never experienced that before in a restaurant- disgusting. NEVER FORGET, NEVER AGAIN. You’ve been warned.
