The big waitress completely got my order wrong. The meat in the Carne Guisada was tough and dry. They do not serve fresh Nopalitos, only the soggy ones in the jar. And when I ordered picadillo with lettuce and tomatoes, I only got wet picadillo in a wet tortilla. While I sat down waiting for my order, the table was filthy.
Never coming back.

Friendly staff. Food is very good. My favorite is the menudo special it's served with a taco! Under $9!
My go to taco is the Colby!
Get there early fills up fast.
They also have drive through, that's always a plus!

The food is good and the staff very friendly. The place is clean, intimate, and the music is always playing. Overall, a great place to eat.

12/4/25 Today was the first time I have visited this place, and honestly I enjoyed the food I ordered 2 taco nortenos which I didn't know the size but they come in them burritos type tortillas which I was like hell yea! Also ordered two carne gisada with cheese tacos, and I'm very picky bout my gisada tacos and they hit the spot. Idk why I waited so long to try this place out. Be going back for sure cuz I wanna try out there menudo and barbacoa if that hit becomes my new neighborhood frequent spot. 😁

Please ask for a receipt!!! Especially if you are going through the drive through. They thought they could get away with giving themselves a $10 tip! I ordered 6 tacos and an orange juice and it came out to $19 and some change, something made me check my transactions a few moments ago and they charged $30! I called over the phone and ordered the same thing and then asked for a total. They said it’s $19 and some change and I go on to say well why did y’all charge me $30 then!?! They had some excuse that the lady at the register is new which is bs because I had been there before! Beware of these scammers! Yes I got my $10 back but I’m just warning everyone out there! PLEASE ASK FOR RECEIPTS!!!

I normally go to the drive through and get four or five breakfast tacos.Spending around thirty to forty dollars on just the tacos, and it has been fifty fifty whether they are good or not.
But today, I went in for lunch and I got
Something a LA carte, 5 breakfast tacos, And then a two teas in togo cupsorder, a water with lemon and a mexican coke in total, Spending sixty plus dollars with an eighteen percent tip of seven almost eight dollars. Not only has the service been rude, but also lacking of hospitality majority of the time.
If you want a quick bite to eat and you're in the area I say sure stop here but overall, its not really a good breakfast spot or taco spot.
Majoratiy of the food needed seasoning or extra cooking or something other, But we're not the type to complain nor send back the food.
Although I personally am the type to inform, so here is my review.That is a bit all over the place.But it's an honest review.

I was charged 54cents because I went to the drive thru and my one taco needed a bag.The manager said the charge was for the bag and napkins.i understand if I ate inside and needed a bag for my leftovers but in the drive thru?This place is not good enough to be paying extra for a bag.
