My wife and I live coming here. I dont want to review it becasue it's typically not busy, but they deserve the credit. They should be busy for how good the food and people are.

Idk if they just opened or what but a bit unorganized. We went during the week at night for dinner. Food took a while to come out but it was fresh. Nachos aren’t that good. Waitress not too familiar with menu. The soups are really good and the pupusas are okay.

Food is great nothing beats $1.50 tacos and pupusas, but there is one girl, alba I think her name was, that was running around and doing everything while the older gentleman at the host stand didn’t do much, the service was slow because of it.

They have very good food. Everytime I get the Cubana Torta the fries that comes with it are ALWAYS crunchy and hot. Nice and Fresh. My torta is always nice and hot as well. I always try a place out 3 times before I leave a review, me and my gf have been here maybe close to 8 times now and every single time we've been its always hot and fresh food and great service. 8.5/10 would definitely reccomend.

Atmosphere: they had a 50 inch tv playing a documentary about children getting molested, strangled, and murdered. The bar TV had fox news. BIG NO.

Service: table we sat at was dirty. Nobody wiped it after we sat down. Waitress seemed nice! The rest of the staff were all crowded around one table being really loud like customers weren't there.

Food: margaritas were good. I paid $13 for nachos that consisted of chips, weird chicken pieces, and cheese on top. No Guac, no sour cream, no beans, no lettuce etc. 3 ingredients nachos for $13. Not worth it.

Idk if I would get takeout. If they overlook a huge tv talking about teen girls getting molested and being suicidal, would they overlook expiration dates or cleaning dishes properly?

I'd be open to trying them out again in like 6 months and see if they have improved anything. But paying $13 for very simple nachos was not a good selling point.

I went in to order tacos, waited while 2 employees walked past me numerous times without acknowledging me. I guess they were too busy eating behind the counter to wait on me so I walked out. Very poor service.

Great service, awesome specials. Homemade sauces and salsa. Got the Tuesday steak tacos, super affordable. Also tried the birria which was the best!
