The service was friendly. Gives a whole little Mexico vibe inside. Food was prepared well. Came out fast. Does need more flavor. But over all was really good.

Great place for delicious, made to order Mexican food. Prices were very affordable and comparable to your typical fast food chain Mexican restaurants. The wait from order to food was similar to a dine in experience. The wait was worth it because the food is made on the spot and fresh. Burritos are large and delicious. Flautas are very tasty and filling.

Great Mexican restaurant with authentic Mexican dishes. There are no thrills. Zero thrills in fact. It’s like you got lost in some weird road in Mexico and you found yourself in a Tarantino movie. The food is the same consistency each time. Homemade, not restaurant quality but homemade. The people working are the same all the time. It’s a great small restaurant and small wannabe mercado with many Mexican things from real Mexican Coca Cola to desserts and fried pork rings, and you name it. You can say viva Mexico ???????? and it’s all worth it. American people should stop ordering burritos here because it’s not Chipotle’s inc. Mexican food is not burritos. You need to order Mexican food, and think outside the box. Use your imagination but don’t complain about a bad burrito but that’s not the place to get one period. Think of birria or tacos with some exotic meat. But don’t complain and ruin the food here dear gringos

Walked in on a whim, wasn’t fully hungry but wanted to try it out. I ordered two chicken tamales and some tortillas on the side! The tamales were piping hot and so were the tortillas!!! The sauces that came to the table were also great! Remember I wasn’t all that hungry, before I left I needed to make sure I wasn’t just start struck. So I ordered one Quesabirria taco Togo and it was massive and came with so much!!! Altogether I spent excellent money, and left very happy!!! Clean establishment, caring staff, and excellent quality food!!! This is my go to spot for delicious food now!!! Go now!!!!!!!

Loved this place! Quite authentic and friendly, both the staff and the customers. Great vibes. The Al Pastor and Asada tacos were very solid and reasonable, and I want to try many other things on the menu.
