Was in the area with some family. And it was dinner time and I was in the mood for some food. Never…read morebeen here and didn't think to come here everytime I've been near it until last night. I was walking nearby and a group of guys passed me and walked inside. And for some reason at that particular time in the moment In that very second it hit me. Go check it out. Let me tell you all I'm glad I did. I went in scoped the place out thinking get something. Try it out, yelp it. I watched the guys order these soup bowls and I looked at the menu above behind the ordering station with the cashier. They guys ordered soup dinners instead of burritos or tacos I thought, ok must be good I was thinking. It looked very authentic on the menu. I walked up and wanted to try something simple and small not a soup yet had to peak my interest with the taste buds ya know what I'm saying. So I was wanting a burrito, I asked the cashier gentleman questions what goes inside, how is it, what's it come with like sides and all. He told me asked me what meat I wanted for the burrito I was ordering, I said ground beef, he said they don't have that, closest thing would be the steak. I'm not going to lie when I heard no ground beef I was going to say cancel on my order and I was going to leave. I was upset, hearing no ground beef as an option. But I stood there with the thought get the steak option that he offered, do it. Just do it. Say it. And I did, I kept the ordering going. I ordered the steak meat especial burrito. And omg it was fantastic! I fell in love with this place. I definitely recommend this place. If you ever walk into a restaurant and are not up for taking chances, well screw that, break the boundaries take the extra step surprise yourself. You may be shocked and confused on what you have missed. You may actually find something that makes your taste buds happy. Enjoy take a leap of taste. Wink Wink

One of those places I really enjoyed because of what was on the menu the flavor of the food and the…read moreservice as well as the interior decor. I came here for the chilaquiles and even though it's not the real sauce that is supposed to go with it it still is good and a good presentation. The sauce that they use is more like the type that you put on top of an enchilada cheesy but still flavorful. The steak that accompanied it I going to be tough as cardboard but it was actually pretty tender and has some really nice fatty marbling that I enjoyed. The two eggs are easy, well I don't think the cook knows but over easy is. I got over hard and over medium but that's okay, that's just being too picky. When you first come in, you're greeted with about a dozen tables that are a very intricate design, and you can tell they put a lot of money into this interior. The tables do not wobble! I went to wash my hands in the restroom and it was clean as a whistle, this must mean their kitchen is clean as well. Definitely a comforting feeling. Parking is kind of limited but you can always Park next door to the other businesses. The music is a nice Mexican accent with music that pertains according to your surroundings and menu placements. It works well and not very loud where you can't hear yourself eat.. There was one lady who was working by herself and I kind of felt sorry for her because she's doing all the running but it's not that busy enough for another person and her service was pretty much outstanding for me. Even though she misunderstood or misheard what I ordered and receive something completely different in front of me, without rolling an eye or any size she apologized profusely and took it to the back to bring me what I really ordered. That's service there and that did not ruin the moment because the attitude is the way you should have it any restaurant mistake or not.

To top it off, there was a 3% credit card surcharge. Not impressed with this place anymore. However, it does have a cool Mexican cultural atmosphere which gave it some redeeming quality.

Stopped here Friday (6/18) afternoon to pick up a quick lunch to take home with us after doing some shopping. It was around 1:15 p.m. & the parking lot had about 4-5 vehicles of patrons besides us. One table was already dining; the rest of us were waiting for our orders. And the wait tends to be on the long side. Husband ordered 3 regular chicken tacos; while I ordered 1 chicken, 1 marinated pork, & 1 tripe - all were $3 each, were in warm double soft corn tortillas, were liberally topped with diced onion & cilantro, & came with a couple of fresh lime wedges & quite a few sliced radishes. One small plastic cup of "green sauce" & one of "red sauce" were included. Unfortunately, we found these tacos disappointing. The chicken consisted of tiny little dried-up nubbins of meat that were difficult to get down, even with sauce, & my marinated pork taco was almost inedibly salty. The only possible saving grace would have been my tripe taco, which was moist & flavorful, but that one taco was all-tortilla & almost no filling. Maybe 2 tablespoons at most. Bottom Line: For around $20.00, this was a disappointment when compared to the "La Chiapaneca" food truck on the other side of town. However, we did see a couple of large overstuffed Cubano-type sandwiches & other items go by that tells me that perhaps the "regular tacos" are not their strong point. Staff were very pleasant & friendly, but like I said - you may have quite a wait because it also looked like quite a few folks had called their orders in ahead of time & were just there to pick up. Another tip - be sure to check your order before leaving, as while we were there one woman returned & complained that her order was missing an item for which she then had to endure another long wait. She was not pleased.

Szechuan pork belly could use more flavor and less brussel sprouts. Maybe chopped moreso than only sliced in half. Sliced steak tacos were juicy and has an impact, along with the jerk chicken tacos! I wish there were more meats than the other toppings, but otherwise , the place is great!

I walked in to a family-run hole-in-the-wall and, had the neon OPEN sign not been on, would've thought they were closed. The woman who was sitting in the very small (maybe 16 seats at best) dining area got up to go to the kitchen and the man got up to take my order. The other guy said his goodbyes (in Spanish) and left. The very limited menu was written on posterboards on the wall. I immediately changed my mind from pupusas to quesadillas, $7. They came out quickly and were accompanied with a side of sour cream and pico de gallo. Portion size was just right with nothing extra to take home. Had I noticed the special on another sign, I probably would've gotten that -- pupusas with rice and beans. Anyhow, it was delicious. Mexican/Latino, but my guess is that the pizza is offered to attract the American crowd. But this is a NO FRILLS kind of spot. Plastic utensils and napkins rationed out on the tables already. A/C if they have it, was not turned on. It wasn't hot, but one degree warmer, and I probably would've been uncomfortable.

The server said they were from Texas so I was thinking this was going to be delicious, like a hole in the wall situation. Holes in the walls are always so surprisingly yummy. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The meat looked like it had a ton of seasoning but it was flavorless. It didn't taste smoked or anything. It was cooked to a good temp and was tender, but that's all it had going for it. The Mac and cheese looked so good and gooey but, again, flavorless. We got the appetizer of all the dips. The queso was ok. They said their avocados were not soft so they chopped them up with a ton of onion and tomato to make up for it? The salsa was ok, again, not much flavor, other than onion.
