I had three different people waiting on me, so it was odd and I didn't know who I was actually tipping in the end. The chips and salsa starter was pretty good, and as someone who normally doesn't eat that sort of thing, I found it good. The food was ... odd. I ordered a chicken quasadilla that arrived as a very strange, orange color, along with refried beans. The beans also seemed a tad bit orange so I'm guessing it had some of the same seasoning. The food actually tasted good - not delicious, by any means, but good. It definitely wasn't appetizing to look at, but it did have decent taste. Overall, I *might eat there again, but I world never rave about this place.

The manager then had the audacity to tell me I was wrong, yell at me, and said I STILL had to pay. Then they refused to give me the bill, so I had to guess how much my meal was and put cash on the table.

Absolutely horrible manager, waitress, and staff. Incredibly disappointed and you won't be seeing me touch this "establishment" with a 10 foot pole. Also I told them about my food allergy and they never told the kitchen so please be aware!!

Honestly, not a big deal bc it was delicious haha; I especially loved the contrast of the pineapple and fatty pork (also comes with cilantro, onions & lime). If you get a full order (4 tacos), the waiter informed me that you can only get 2 different kinds (not specified on the menu). Also got an horchata, which was perfectly sweet, cinnamon-y, and refreshing. The ambiance is good with booth seating. Service was friendly, but wait time (both for getting seated/orders taken and receiving the food) and attention (getting utensils, water refilled) could be improved, but this could have been due to the lunch rush. Lots of parking in the adjacent lot. 8.5/10 would recommend!
