Their new complimentary salsa and bean dip literally tastes like nothing, its completely changed. The food also was very greasy, and the knife skills are seriously lacking, everything was cut in huge chunks and hard to eat with just a fork (peppers, onions, etc.). The drinks were weak. We used to order one and both have a minor buzz, this time nothing, they tasted watery. Not sure we will be back anytime soon. Maybe in a year or so we'll give it another shot.

I ordered 4 tacos, 2 quesabirria style and 1 each al pastor and steak, both American style plus cilantro on a corn grilled tortilla. All 4 were dynamite, especially the quesabirria style. I would recommend the Al pastor over the steak as that meat had a lot more flavor. What really set the whole meal over the edge and made it top notch was the homemade hot sauces, both green and red. I couldn't decide which I liked more as they were both delicious and right amount of spice. To top it all off, service was outstanding, even on a quick lunch stop in. Definitely hit this place up and I see now why they have so many great reviews.

Anyone needing a place to eat good food come here. The hospitality in this place is awesome, my mom and I came in here not knowing much about Mexican food in the first place, and the waiter was super kind. He told us what was good here, and even told us his favorite food that wasn't in the menu! Seriously guys, if you're new to Mexican food, or you just need a place come here. They're so welcoming, and friendly. I have no idea why this isn't the top place to go to, these corner restaurants are the best. read more

The food was terrible and the waitresses didnt even ask us how the food was or come up to check on if we needed anything (like silverware). They seemed a bit racist towards my boyfriend. I was looking forward to eating there but was so disappointed. I didnt even want to take the leftovers home. read more

4.5 stars (thank Yelp for failing to trust reviewers with half stars)…read more From the outside, the building looks the same as it did with its former tenant (right down to specials on the windows). However, the inside has gotten a makeover, resulting in a fresh new look. The menus are new and bright. Many of the dishes (and there are a lot) will seem familiar to those who dined at the restaurant previously occupying the space. As it should be, chips and salsa were delivered to our table immediately after we were sat. Although the restaurant had only reopened several days before our visit, things seemed to be operating smoothly. Our waiter was properly attentive, helpful and efficient. Drink service was a little slow, but the newness of employees may have factored in. Our party had light quesadillas, Chile Colorado, Enchiladas Supremas and a Burrito Parrillada. Everyone thought their meal tasted good and was served at a good temperature. Both the consumer of the burrito and the Chile Colorado thought their meal tasted spice level could have been elevated (probably sufficient for most diners). Dessert was offered but everyone at the table was full. Overall, our first experience at this new restaurant was enjoyable. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely revisit this restaurant in the future.
