If you're craving real Mexican flavor, this place delivers…read more The pastor tacos are the star--perfectly marinated pork with that classic sweet-savory balance, a hint of pineapple, and a beautiful char. The tortillas are warm and fresh, and each bite tastes like it came straight from a Mexico City taquería. The asada quesadilla is another winner: generous portions of tender, juicy carne asada packed inside a perfectly toasted tortilla with melty cheese that stretches just right. It's simple, but full of flavor and incredibly satisfying. And the pastor torta? A must-try. The bread is soft but slightly crisped on the outside, loaded with seasoned pastor, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of sauce to bring everything together without making it soggy. It's hearty, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. My son not only devoured the whole thing, he contemplated on ordering another. Overall, every dish feels authentic, well-seasoned, and made with care. Highly recommended for anyone who wants true, bold Mexican street-food flavor.

I ordered a burrito with carne asada, rice, beans and cheese. The tortilla was great and they included lots of melty cheese. The ratio of ingredients was spot on. I did get a few chewy pieces of meat and I wish that the burrito was a little bigger for the price, but overall it got the job done. They only offer red salsa, no salsa verde, which was a bit of a bummer.

Lacks flavor and substance. The super nachos looked like they were made from the bulk tortilla chips from Costco and cheese sauce from a can with a sprinkling of your meat choice. Adding beans, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream would have been very welcomed. I thought I would try something different than the fast food chain that also sells tacos, burritos and nachos. Guess I'll go back to the fast food chain the next time I'm in Gonzales wanting a burrito.

In $26, we got: - breakfast burrito - 4/5 - potato, egg, beans and i got added a jalapeno and removed sour cream and cheese. Tasted good.
