“I had the most wonderful time dining in at this restaurant. The food is so delicious (if you truly love authentic Mexican food as I do). Even though the restaurant is small, it is SUPER clean, very hardworking people are in there making sure you love their food and want to come back again. They make hand made tortillas! Whatever you would like to order you will not be disappointed at all.BIG thank you to Luis the manager for such an unforgettable experience.“

“Highly recommend! I have lived in the area for five years and only recently tried this spot. I have been four times and the food has been consistently good. Service is by far the best I have received at a restaurant in years. Gives the impression family owners and employees. Cadillac margaritas are strong and tasty. Also a great price point for the food and drink. Such a good find. If I'm not cooking this is the spot!“

“Can't veat the 61 cent ch8cken 9r beef tacos (only in October). They are always good and you can put other toppings on themVegetarian options: You can pretty much make anything vegetarian by holding the meat and having them put in whole or refried beans. You can add corn and other vegetarian options. They do have several vegetarian options to pick fromParking: It was only difficult because of the 61 cent tacos. I parked in the side lot farthest away from the building and was the only car there“

Mulita

“BEST hard shell taco I've ever had! First time I stopped by, I was STARVING and in a hurry so I did some fast and shameless car eating. I've gone again and again for these amazing beef (not ground) tacos for the service, the price and the quality. Outside seating on a nice day, huge menu and they have a drive thru! I want to try other things! So I got a couple of tamales they sell from a local place who hand makes them!“

“The cemita* I had here was divine. I had the milanesa de res (think beef schnitzel) that was both tender and crispy. The two cheeses used - quesillo and panela - were a dairy perfection of cream & salt; avocado added further creamy goodness, pickled jalapeños & carrots added the final punch of spicy fiber to this magnum opus on a roll.*A regional sandwich named for its seeded roll that is also commonly piled with quesillo, a Mexican style of string cheese.Vegetarian options: I think they offer a quesillo cemita too.“
