al pastor tacos
Jessica M.

Even though we came for cuban food, we ended up ordering mexican. They do have a cuban sandwich on the menu, but unfortunately we didn't try it. This is a small place, but felt like and authentic little "hole in the wall" spot. Definitely recommend the birria tacos!

Great new place to try on a TACO TUESDAY! DISCOUNTED TACOS which are very good! The Shrimp tacos have a very generous portion of shrimp. The guacamole is creamy and packed with flavor. Great food and service!

We came for lunch not even realizing it was Taco Tuesday! So it was a nice surprise to get a discount. The restaurant is located in a strip plaza on the east side of the street . There's no sign above on the marquis, but you'll see the name spelled out on the windows below. There's ample parking in the free lot. Inside, the menu to me is more Mexican than Cuban. We'd had a lot of meat/steak so although that's what they specialize in (per our server), we chose an order to share of shrimp tacos. We got some complimentary salsa and chips while waiting. The salsa had a slight kick -- more than the usual gringo ones do. There were four tacos to an order with grilled shrimp topped with the traditional (authentic) Mexican style: cilantro and onions only; and the soft tortillas were doubled to make for easier hand holding. We'd also ordered some guacamole which turned out to be wonderful -- flavorful, chunky, and with bits of tomato and onions in it, too. We'd tried it with the chips and then even put some on top of the shrimp. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, then this small restaurant is the place. Enjoy!

I'm so thrilled we stumbled upon this place!! Absolutely legit Mexican food. Starting off with the chips and salsa- just like our favorite places in New Mexico- crispy fresh and while the salsa isn't hot it's the perfect texture and very flavorful. We got four tacos- a Birria, pastor, carnitas, and a chorizo; all were delicious. My favorite was the chorizo which was surprising for me! It was perfectly balanced with spice and the onion. We also got some red enchiladas which were really good- the red is smoky and again, not wildly spicy but very flavorful. The carnitas were juicy! All in all, we will definitely be coming back for some authentic street style tacos!

Birria tacos
Holly W.

Great find thru Yelp, traveling in new town for a bit and so glad we trusted the reviews, didn't disappoint. Also tried the elote and empanadas, both great and well seasoned. Kind service too, accepts all payments

Oh my gosh! So delicious! Small hole in the wall. Friendly service, authentic food, fun decor! Highly suggest! The fresh salsa and guac is amazing! Everything is fresh and made to order!

Their tacos are amazing! I get them every Saturday. Service was great and super nice. The first time we went there they gave us samples to try. Their horchata is fantastic. Newly renovated with nice decor, and very clean. Love this place and I highly recommend them. The taco deal is pretty good too!

The owner is really creating a wonderful spot for his community with food that is not only delicious but is also good for you! Today I tried a peanut butter protein smoothie that was really well made, perfectly blended and the garnish on top was so pretty! I also grabbed some cranberry chicken salad from the grab and go fridge and it's super tasty and all the textures are perfect, the crunch from the green apple and scallions, light mayo (extra points for avocado mayo) seriously so delicious and convenient. They've been open for exactly 1 year and I'm wishing them all the success because places like these are what we all need more of!

Inside the restaurant was cute and a little funky. However, it seemed off that evening. I noticed that many of the tables hadn't been cleaned off. Chairs were not neatly tucked in. The dining room looked in disarray. Yet, there was no one else there. If I hadn't read the good reviews on here, I would've just left. We found a clean table, and we had to ask the server for menus. The salads we ordered were good, but they needed more dressing. The ingredients were fresh, and I genuinely did enjoy the food. However, the state of the dining room and inattentive service set a not-so-great vibe. Perhaps it's different earlier in the day. Perhaps it was an off night.
