I was intrigued to try their corn bread stuffed with chicken and cheese called as papusus and and the Mexican sandwich tortas. Two year olds had their cheese quesadilla plate.

I had the 3 taco plate - luckily they let you choose a variety. I had the chicken tinga, carne enchilda, and chorizo. I will say the chicken tinga was more of in the "ok" realm, but the other two were fantastic. And the refried beans had soooo much flavor. We also got a quesadilly with half chicken tinga and have steak. Also delicious. Once again, the steak was better than the chicken. Food was ready on time, and the service was great.

They have improved dramatically since we were last there. First, the service was awesome. They have decorated so it has a nice ambiance. Their menu has also grown a lot. They still have about ten tables and appear to do a good takeout business. There were four of us and we ordered a few items. Their guacamole was excellent. I had their taco dinner - three tacos, beans, and rice. The portions were large and the food was delicious. Two in our party has Quesabirrias and one had Quecas. We also shared a horchata. It was all wonderful. I admit, everything was really good. And I'm very happy we gave them a second try. We'll be back soon.

The service truly stood out--everyone was patient, helpful, and made sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. The food was beyond delicious. You can tell everything is made fresh and with quality ingredients. Every bite was full of flavor, and the portions were great for the price. What I appreciated most is how inclusive the menu is. As someone who follows a vegan lifestyle, it can sometimes be difficult to find places with good options--but this spot really delivered. They offer a variety of vegan choices that are not just an afterthought, but actually well-prepared and full of flavor. It's rare to find a place that gets both food and service this right. Whether you're vegan or not, there's something here for everyone to enjoy. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family. If you're thinking about trying it, don't hesitate--you won't be disappointed!

My associate had the queen size steak burrito. We both greatly enjoyed the food! It was cooked quickly and expertly and delivered to our table. Mine was so substantial I took half home and had it for breakfast! I'd like to try their other menu items. This place does a robust business and the food is testament to their popularity!

As I was walking up, there was a guy walking out of the tae kwon do studio next-door. I asked if he ever ate there and he emphatically said "yes it's delicious." Salsa was good, but about every fourth chip was stale. El Pastor taco was very flavorful, but the meat was a little overcooked. Got two à la carte enchiladas, one cheese, one beef. The cheese was fine, the beef one had a strange taste, almost like a cleaning agent. I asked the waitress if the tamales were any good, she shrugged her shoulders, and said yes. Normally, I would take that as a no, but I read a bunch of reviews that said the tamales were good. I tried one of each. Chicken comes with green sauce, pork comes with red sauce. Both were fantastic. I would definitely return just to buy tamales. Prices are cheap, I got all this and a beer for 28 bucks.

This is a small storefront and I think the picture of this place is in the dictionary for 'hole in the wall'! It's a small restaurant in a small strip mall on Rand. Easy to drive by but if you are hungry for good Mexican, this is the place to stop at. The restaurant is clean and the service was pretty fast. I was relieved they do not put fries in the burrito!! The burrito was very tasty and all the ingredients were fresh tasting. Red and green salsa came with the burrito and they were very nice - the red had some good heat and the green had a very nice herbaceous flavor. I'll gladly eat here again!
