Reviews

Been coming here for over 10 years. It’s always been a good spot for Mexican food at a reasonable price. Would recommend the tacos el pastor.

Ordered dinner on a Monday night (Doordash). Took a while to get but was worth it. Food was warm and delicious. The Nachos with Chorizo were on point as the chips were crispy (not soggy!) with balanced and great condiments. The wet burrito stuffed with barbacoa was dressed with red sauce and cheese that melts in the mouth with each bite. Presentation of the food was great as well.

Amazing chips and salsa! Very very very flavorful Meat quality was very good! Soft and easy to chew. Lots of flavor, and the food is affordable. Horchata probably one of the better ones I have tasted. Overall 4.5/5 but i rated 5 because Id rather rate up than down. Serve was nice and service was good. Refillable chips. They also don’t charge extra for Beef Lengua (tongue) which was a decent surprise. Quesadilla was packed with cheese. House hot sauces packed a punch, and salsa verde was so delish.

Just found this place. Tacos are fantastic not too expensive. Rice and beans are the real deal. Did not see tacos al pastor on the menu but everything else looked real good. Restaurant is clean and authentic as everyone was watching soccer. Very friendly staff. Definitely going to this place more now!!

Really great tasting food! I happen to be in town and driving past this place! Great idea to stop for a bite!

Ok... been coming here since before I was born but came out cause I could smell the food from inside the womb... but seriously this place has been around since I was born... (im 30) we always come here for my fish and shrimp majado burrito... my grandma's sopes,,, and their famous taco salad... I love the carne Asada and the shrimp in particular.... they changed their hours due to low sales but don't miss out on their firerry death habanero sauce... and don't underestimate it.... you will regret it... it is so flavorful but its like getting bit by a shark... worth it. There isn't one dish I would say is better than the other... but you will find something you like i promise you that.

The flautas are great! I wish they had an order of like 5 with guacamole and cheese without rice and beans as a side. Love their salsas that go with it.
