    Carne Asada taco ( no flavor)
    Eileen F.

    Working close by I decided to stop and try this place- first impressions are everything- walking in restaurant was clean, I noticed an A health grade on window. One cashier/waitress. I ordered 2 tacos and a cucumber/lime drink. The drink I give it a 10- tasted fresh and authentic- taco? Missing flavor! Meat had a lot of fat.. and guacamole on top no flavor.. salsas. Creamy but not my kinda salsa for tacos I'd like. Overall I give them a hard 3 star.

    2 very tiny Tacos Dorados covered in lettuce.

    I got the tacos dorados. 1 beef and 1 chicken. The girl asked if I wanted everything on them. I said yes please. What I got was 2 very tiny 2 bite tacos hidden in lettuce. The chicken one has no flavor and the beef one was 60% fat. I asked the girl if they had any lunch specials or any taco Tuesday specials. It was also cinco de mayo and they didn't have any specials. My wife got 2 asada tacos. 1 of her tacos had more meat than both mine together. There was 2 places to sit because the other tables hadn't been cleaned. The waitress were nice and asked if we wanted anything else. That was the only thing good. Food was not worth the price.

    Huevos con Chorizo

    I decided to give this local restaurant a second try yesterday morning and the quality of customer service was the biggest change. Our server was very welcoming, professional, and attentive. She greeted us at the door and checked in on our table periodically. Huge difference from my first experience here. The main highlight from breakfast was the Champurrado. You can taste the authentic Mexican flavors, it wasn't soupy or clumpy and it was served at the right temperature. One cup of this deliciousness is filling. So good! The food on the other hand was okay. I ordered the chorizo with eggs which came with a side of beans. The beans were beans but they were good. The chorizo had a weird taste, tangy almost, no hint of spicy flavor. Bummer. My husband ordered chilaquiles served with two eggs, chopped steak, and beans. I can't really comment on flavor of his dish but he finished his plate. Overall, this is a comfortable spot for a warm mug of Champurrado. The restaurant is small but there is ample space.

    It was our first time so I can't compare Amy of the food. I got pork pozole and it was underwhelming. My husbands bean and cheese burrito was good but small. Store is clean and colorful. The server was blunt but sweet.

    Came for the first time. Had the Menudo and it was delicious, the waitress As was very welcoming and the vibe was great to enjoy my brunch to start my day.

    Large menudo
    Jen B.

    It was just ok. We were looking for authentic Mexican food in the area. The restaurant was nice, the service was really good. The food was hit and miss. The menudo was a hit. It had good flavor and lots of meat. The asada soft taco was also a hit. The meat was tender, the tortillas were fresh, and it included guacamole. The rice and beans were ok. The enchilada was also ok. The salsa was a total miss. It had a sweeter taste to it, and had no real spice at all. The salsa really matters when eating Mexican food, and it just wasn't the best.

    Chilaquiles with Eggs & Red sauce

    I've been coming here for a few months, but this was my first time trying the breakfast. Overall, the experience was great--the staff was friendly, and the café de olla had a rich, authentic Mexican coffee flavor. My wife ordered the champurrado, it was thick, sweet and chocolatyand it was amazing. We both had the chilaquiles: she got the red, and I got the green. Both were delicious. The portions are big, which is definitely a plus.

    Found this place on yelp, thought id try it out. Started off ordering just the Cucumber Agua Fresca and it's really good! I order one every time I stop by. Food is amazing, service is amazing. Taco Tuesday deals are the best. Food is consistent in flavor, presentation. Inside is very clean! Not too loud in there. Definitely would recommend for food!

We entered from the side of the restaurant and were greeted right away, though we were a little unsure of the seating process and ended up grabbing a table ourselves. The table did need to be cleaned, but once we got someone's attention and waited to sit, things started to settle. Even though it was fairly busy, the place had a good ambiance and that classic anticipation you get when you're about to have a traditional Mexican breakfast. The menu is pretty large, which can be a bit overwhelming if you're just looking for something simple. We originally planned on enchiladas, which my grandma ordered, but most of us ended up going with the menudo. The portion was on the smaller side, but you can order pig's foot on the side for an extra charge, which a lot of Latinos appreciate and it definitely adds to the experience. Flavor wise, it was good and it hit the spot, especially for a morning craving. I also took it as a really good sign that many people were picking up menudo to go in their own pots, which tells you this place clearly has a loyal following and a reputation for that dish. Once we ordered, the food came out fairly quickly. Service was the main area where things felt a little disorganized, and it did affect the overall flow of the visit. We did have to flag someone down to place our order, and checking out at the end took longer than expected because we weren't sure if we were supposed to go to the cashier or wait at the table. That said, I can tell the staff works hard, and the place stays busy for a reason. Parking was easy for us since we found street parking right in front, though there are paid options nearby. Overall, it was a solid experience, the reviews seem pretty accurate, and while it may not have completely blown me away, I would still recommend it and come back again, especially for menudo and a casual family meal.

Service is very quick, and food arrives hot. There is a good amount of both indoor and covered outdoor seating available. They have two clean, single-stall restrooms. Small private parking lot. Noise levels stays mild to moderate depending on how busy they are. The food here is seriously underrated. They have so many options (from tacos and burritos to soups and hamburgers), even my pickiest family member found something and enjoyed themselves. Everything I've ever tried has been full of flavor, generous in size, and not too oily. My recent fixation is their #21 Super Combo Burrito Enchilada Style - an absolute must-try if you want something delicious, filling, and overall satisfying to eat. They also carry a variety of drinks and desserts, including alcohol. Prices are more than fair, with my pictured meal being less than $30 total for two people to get full meals and an appetizer. As must as I want to gatekeep, this place deserves all the love. Definitely give them a try!

Indoor seating is also pretty limited, so my friend and I were glad to grab one of the small tables. I ordered the lengua and asada tacos and both were flavorful, tender, and loaded with meat. I was honestly too hungry and eager to take a picture beforehand, but I can assure you the portions are plentiful. The tacos were a little greasy, but still really satisfying.

They're all really good. They're soft Tortillas are handmade. The meat tastes like you grilled it on your barbecue. I love that! It's not greasy or grizzly. Had a nice, light freshly grilled flavor. I don't think they're overpriced. I've gone to other places and paid the same price for soft tacos and got in street tacos that are gone in two bites. These are pretty Hardy and made with fresh ingredients so I think it's worth every penny.
