I was the only one in there at that time and the television on the wall was super loud. The location of the place is a very inconspicuous as it is attached to the grocery store. It's equivalent to a whole in the wall type of place. I just wish it tasted like an Abuela, was in the kitchen cooking! If you didn't know better, you wouldn't even know it was there. All in all, I needed a quick meal so it filled a hole but I wouldn't eat here again.

Maybe one day, I will have a bilingual superpower-- purely so I can enjoy this food at Shelly's. The staff were kind and accommodating. I recommend takeout, as this place has been packed in my limited experience. Though I am always looking for vegetarian options, and here it was limited. I still was able to enjoy my bean and cheese pupusas in bliss. Hope you visit here soon. It was delicious.

The shrimp tacos were listed for $10.95 and they said that was a mistake and charged me $14.95, saying the menu hadn't yet been updated. Well damn. I wanted to get food for my mom to take to go, and what I wanted, they said they didn't have it anymore. Again, the menu wasn't updated. I ended up getting steak, which came with rice and beans with a small salad with avocado. The chicken version was $11.95. The steak version was $15.95. The pupusas were great. Excellent even. The tacos were just okay. They made them like fajitas with peppers and onions. My mom crushed the steak, and I have to say it was a very generous portion. All in all, it was okay. The ladies cooking behind the counter seem like they're the ones in control and could be your aunties. Basic decor. Nothing to write home about. But it looks like they have a decent business. I'd go again for the pupusas if nothing else.

Guests will order at the counter and wait with their buzzer to get your food. They weekly specials, this week they had $8 burritos. We got the al pastor burrito and the chicken taco. It came with two types of hot sauce a green sauce and a very spicy red sauce. The wait for our food was a little longer than expected, (around 15 mins) but it was worth the wait. These burritos were filled with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and our meat of choice. Simple, but so good. I will have to go back to try something new!

I got a chicken tamale, a single Mexican taco with lengua, and a mini burrito with barbacoa. The lady also offered a small container of every sauce/salsa they had which I graciously accepted. All my food was so good. Chicken was just a touch dry in the tamale but the flavors made up for that especially with the green salsa. Lengua was super tender with great flavors. Great corn tortilla. Mini burrito was smothered with a delicious sweeter red sauce stuffed to the brim with shredded beef. Great value in my opinion for everything. This will definitely be my go to when I desire authentic Mexican food.

If you go on Wednesday (any time), tacos are $1.99. They are opened from 10am-9pm. They had 8 options to choose from. We picked the chorizo, carne asada, carnitas, and chicharrón en salsa verde. These little, double-layered tacos packed a lot of flavor. Everything was delicious, but we agreed that our favorite was the carnitas (fried pork). It had a crunch to it that was perfect. All of the tacos were topped with cilantro and diced raw onions, but you can opt to not have it. They also had a sauce bar with different sauce options from the wimpy tomatillo sauce to the hottest. The server was friendly and nice. They also offered a good variety of menu items including desserts. I asked the waitress about their tacos on other days and she said they are $3.49 each and slightly bigger. Finding a cheap meal is hard these days. We will definitely be back.
