wonderful historical building. Portobello tacos, El pastor tacos and wonton tacos...outstanding!
The nacho libre nachos and the Birria tacos are always so good! We eat there regularly and never have any real issues. Whenever there has been any issues in the past the owner/head manager has always gone above and beyond to make up for it despite me saying it was okay!
Everything I’ve ordered off of the menu has been great, and I’m an extremely picky eater. I really look at the quality of the queso, the meat, and the salsa and they hit every time from the local.

My husband and I ate here last night. We’re from Lubbock but had a little date night and chose to eat here. The food was AMAZING, literally so stinking good. We got queso and chips, chimichanga egg rolls, carnitas wontons and then tacos. I can’t even say what the star was because everything was better than the last thing. It was all delicious. The La Major taco was my hands down fave and it was so good. We ate everything so fast, I didn’t even think to take a photo.
