You can call ahead for pickup or eat there (it's attached to a convenience store/gas station but there is some seating inside). It's not fancy, but it's comfortable and relaxed. The staff are always friendly. The toppings are fresh and delicious and the salsas are particularly good. (Are they made in-house?) I think it's a terrific value: lunch or dinner is considerably cheaper than the table-service mexican places and (IMHO) the food is better here. I got a lot of takeaway during the pandemic when I had to stay home and it was a lifeline-- thank you for keeping my family fed on the nights I was too tired to cook!

We ordered drinks, appetizers, and entrees; they all arrived timely to the table. The flavor of the food was good; only issue is it was all lukewarm temperature. I had to request for the queso to be warmed. Another drawback were the strong smells from the kitchen. It went from an intense smell of food to cleaning solution; perhaps the establishment can work on this issue. It's worth a try. If nothing else, have a margarita!

Was pleasantly surprised to see they had a lunch menu that included an entree, side and drink for a banger price (but some days they don't do this deal so you have to ask). Got the veggie Cubano per usual with the legendary pink sauce and it was AMAZING. The yuka fries and plantains were also well done 10/10. Tried the veggie taco and tamale for the first time and those were also very delish and filling entrees. All in all super solid lunch and can't wait to be back again! - the line wasn't too long considering it was grad day and was moving along pretty quickly

But oh man, we have at least 4 meals off of this plate of nachos, so they can have my $24 anytime. This is one of the best plates of nachos I have ever had, and I eat mexican a lot if you look at my reviews. I think they make their chips as they are thicker than most, but have an amazing actual flavor, and the toppings are ABUNDANT. This was carne asada and it was absolutely delish. The bartender greeted us when we walked in, showed us where to order and to pick a seat inside or on the cute little patio. They brought the food out within 10 minutes and we chowed. Others around us had margarita buckets and pitchers of beer, so plenty of options. Someone was raving about a pickle margarita...next trip that is on my list. Super clean, very friendly, great food, and it is labeled vegetarian and gluten free on the menu for those of us who need that info. I will most definitely be back.

We ordered a pretty big spread of food including the dip trio, a few tacos, the brisket quesadilla, and some wings. The peach bourbon wings have a great flavor. I actually preferred those to the truffalo. The dip trio was great. The guac was very fresh and creamy. The queso had small chunks of peppers that I liked. I can see the appeal of this place for parents and students alike.
