The staff were all really friendly and accommodating. Mezcal Margarita - sticky, sweet, sour, just the right hit of smokiness. Strawberry Margarita (on the rocks) - perfect sour base, the strawberry takes it to another level. Strawberry Mojito - super minty, insanely refreshing. Chorizo Cheese Dip - salty, savory, creamy perfection. We almost licked the bowl clean, no lies. Queso birria Tacos (w/ rice & beans) - I'm calling it right now: hands down the best birria I've EVER had. The corn tortillas were crisped to perfection. Plus, cilantro on the side? Huge win in my book. Chicken Chimichanga - totally loaded and the chicken was so juicy and well-seasoned. The queso on top was fire!

The space is relatively laid back and comfortable. I ordered a dinner combo with a few different options. A vegetarian taco with peppers and onions. A half chile relleno, also with peppers and onions. A side salad. Some vegetarian refried beans. Overall, it was a good combo. Not spectacular, but nicely crafted. I probably should have ordered some salsa or hot sauce on the side, and it would have been nice to be prompted for that option. Overall, this is a comfortable destination. Reasonable food. Excellent service. Nice space.

We got the table side guac and queso for the table which alongside the chips and salsa they give you, I was already getting a little full. I ordered fajitas for dinner and they were delicious. Unfortunately I didn't save room for dessert but next time I'd love to get the churros and flan. Parking was not too bad - it's street parking but I found a spot about two blocks away.

It's a very lively space with a not-too-adventurous menu (great for less adventurous grandparents). Some things that I wish were a little smoother include: - not placing us with a baby directly under a strong cold air vent - faster service for both drink refills and getting our food out, this took extremely long on a weekday evening Overall we had a decently good time and I'd consider coming back for happy hour or late night happy hour, but it's unfortunately not high up on my list for a regular meal based on how long everything took.

To start, we had the jalapeño cheese dip. The jalapeño flavor was subtle, but detectable. However the cheese tasted like American, so it wasn't the most authentic. For my main, I asked if they could add soy-chorizo to the mushroom and cheese enchilada and the waiter said they were not able to, which was a little disappointing. I ended up getting the enchilada with just soy-chorizo. It was tasty, but the soy-chorizo was a bit dry. My husband enjoyed the steak burrito, but found their hibiscus juice a bit too sweet.

The service is fast, they make it in front of you, and you have the option of picking some stuff up at the grocery store while you are there. Friendly family type ambiance and it feels good to know you are supporting a small business like this. At $4 a taco, when they are generous with the authentic meat filling, double up on the freshly grilled corn tortillas, and allow unlimited toppings made fresh daily make these tacos one of the best deals around. The filling is already super flavorful, so you don't necessarily need extra toppings, but I like adding extra onions and cilantro. For me, a lot of the salsas were extra spicy, so my recommendation is to taste them before putting them on the taco. The ones I got honestly didn't need any extra added flavor. I got the steak and onions and the pork with pineapple and loved them both equally. I got them last week and already miss them - the smell and texture of the meat, the fresh toppings, how your breath tastes after, the combo of everything together - definitely a solid taco joint

And I have to give them extra credit for suggesting and bringing out chips to go with it -- such a great touch and SO delicious! And of course... happy hour + the Big Azz Margaritas!

I got sick there routinely so I protested going. However when meme culture brought it back I thought it was overdue that I give them another shot. Well it's better in some ways than I remembered and worse in others. Big Mouth Bites were awful - some of the worst sliders I've ever had. Don't think I'll ever try those again. Mozzarella was extremely cheesy in a way that was overwhelming, in both good and bad ways. Southwest Egg Rolls were forgettable, should've tried something else. Chicken Crispers and fries were dependable solid. Felt classic in their own way. Not extraordinary but good and familiar. Mac & Cheese w/ it was nostalgic. Felt extra cheesy but not SO overwhelming it was like soup. Service here was really great though. And incredibly kind and quick.
