    This is a treat I certainly did not expect. From the signage I thought this was a grocery that specializes in Hispanic food items. However, they have a quaint little restaurant also which has very great service. The server was polite and friendly extended great service. The food is even better than the service. I have visited several Hispanic cafes locally but this one is one of the best. Nice setting, clean and is bigger than it looks. The only minus I can see is the steps leading into the place are very steep and difficult to transverse for someone that is handicapped. Otherwise all around great place to visit.

    The restaurant serves traditional Mexican tacos, sopes and gorditas, but they also serve "gringo" items such as ACP, chimichangas and taco salads. I ordered 3 sopes ($6.49) with al pastor (marinated pork), and they were great. The inside of the restaurant is very nice also.

    Waited close to 45 minutes for our food, which was mediocre at best. Disappointing overall despite all the rave reviews.

    Brighter with more room and a bar, although I do miss having to walk through the Hispanic store next door.

    First time experience. A good down to earth eatery. Came in hungry leaving pleasantly filled. Place…read moredoesn't look like much from the exterior. Surprised when walked in to find fuller than expected and to see the good amount of foot traffic. Think they do good take out also at least this Wednesday after 5pm. Lots of people (for the smaller size dinning room) having conversations and good laughter. I am liking the vibe at this time. Was expecting more rural , quieter feel. Menu has ample selections. My basic dish provided bountiful serving of refried beans so along with the taco and enchilada feel pleasantly satiated. Meat seasoning and texture were pleasant. Very impressed with the staff, hard working, efficient and wait staff pleasant and personalable. Toyed with giving this place 4 stars just based on the staff. I would come again if in the area and hungry. This place might have been a Dairy Queen or the like in a prior version. Has plenty of windows. So based on my 1 time experience I would recommend this place for down to earth times with down to earth people and environment. BTW the locals must think good of this place as observed and by the volumes of people served while I have been here for the last 45 minutes+.

    This small spot was a bit of a surprise, though there were some pretty good reviews, mixed in with…read morethe not so good ones - in fact, 19 of the 25 reviews were 5 star! It is a small place, and frankly the inside is more than a little rough, and it is not the cleanest spot I've ever been to. It is located just off of S. State Street in the "downtown" area. But the food is generally decent and the service has been good as well. The salsa is very, very good, though I did get stale chips on one visit. I've been here several and have tried the California Burrito, the Pastor Torta, and the Carnitas. The burrito was well sized, I chose shredded chicken. The well filled flour tortilla was covered with a very tasty cheese sauce with a sprinkling of pico de gallo. The burrito did not contain French Fries as is the norm for this item! The Pastor Torta was also well filled with al pastor, onion, jalapeños and a Mayo spread on a sub like roll - this was a very nice sandwich. The Carnitas were nice done with some nice outside crust. The pork chunks were not plentiful, and there was a very small amount of guacamole salad and a few slices of jalapeño. Though it came with rice and beans, this was one of the smaller Carnita plates I have been served. I might drop in if in the area, but this is not a destination spot for me.
