I got the quesabirria tacos with consome and the meat was delicious with a lot of flavor. My boyfriend got the Al pastor alambre which was full of flavor. We both got elote which hit the spot per usual. To end the meal we each got a churro, super soft in the inside. Inside was a cute ambiance with a full house of customers, which is always a good thing. The service was efficient as we ordered to go and it was ready as soon as we got there. We will definitely be back as it's so close to the house and the food was amazing.

I ordered 1 pastor taco and one steak taco and was so impressed! The tacos were FULL of meat. The flavor was the best! The pastor taco matched a place that had a line in Mexico.

I've put in an online order before, the waiting time will say 20-30 minutes. Showed up after 30 minutes and had to wait another 20 minutes for my food.

The place recently remodeled to add a bunch more space for the restaurant and it feels much more open. The staff has always been great and, if able, are happy to speak english. It definitely helps if you know the basics, though since it's 99% a spanish-speaking joint. The pastries are always flavorful and fresh. I love their orange blossom and anise sesame buns, pan de feria, and conchas. The chicharrones are always on the deli counter and you grab your own with some tongs. Tons of meat on them and a few minutes in the air fryer make the meat tender and the skin crispy. Haven't tried their hot bar or restaurant yet but I hope to soon.

The staff was friendly enough and the food came out in a timely manner, but I was a little disappointed with the quality. I ordered a couple of carnitas tacos with rice and beans to go. The rice and beans were great, but the meat...now I like it a little crispy, but this was more like it was scraped from the bottom of the pan. The meat was really greasy, burnt, and there was a large bone in one of the tacos. Like I said, perhaps it was an off day, but it was a little off putting. Maybe I'd try again if I'm in the area.

Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and even tamales and menudo. The service is always friendly. Both times I have been in the food has taken a little bit longer than I would expect but nothing terrible and it's worth the wait. I've tried all the different meats for the tacos and they are all excellent. Fish tacos probably being my favorite. The tacos also come with a some housemade sauces that are nice and spicy. I also recommend the tamales. The restaurant itself is a quaint space. About a dozen or so tables with a large screen tv. My two visits the TV has been on but music was playing (kinda loud but I'm sure they would turn it down if asked). Overall I am really digging this taco joint and will 100% be back again.

They are open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and 11 pm all other days, so they are a good spot to check out if you're looking for a late dinner or snack! It is a relatively casual spot! You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table if you're doing dine in. They have burgers, hot dogs, tacos, burritos, and more, and they do have a couple of vegan and vegetarian items on their menu! I went with esquite and the vegan tacos! This was my first time having soy curls as my protein alternative for tacos, and I did enjoy the chewy texture! It came with 2 salsas on the side, which both have a little bit of a kick to them, although the salsa verde is the milder of the two. The salsas are both delicious! It is not my number 1 taco (as someone who prefers a mushroom taco), but I would definitely get it again! As for the esquite: this one had A LOT of queso cotija, but could have used a bit more chile de arbol! With that being said, esquite will always taste good, and I do love when places offer both elote and esquite! Overall takeaway is that this is a good spot open relatively late offering both Mexican and American foods and a few vegetarian/vegan options!

This is truly a gem of a neighborhood Mexican restaurant that serves the local population greatly. I think they have very juicy meat inside their tacos and they offer abundant onion and cilantro to ensure a balanced flavor. Along with lime and sauce, the tacos just taste amazing. Specifically, the quesa birria taco, even though not like other tacos, taste very flavor and juicy, and I could not get enough of it. Their platters have abundant food in them, including rice, beans, meat, and sometime vegetables (unless just lettuce), and the prices are very reasonable. I have also tried their menudo, which they served only on weekends, and as much as it wasn't for me due to me not used to the meat in there, I still had to acknowledge that it was made in very authentic ways and I knew many others would enjoy it. Overall, definitely recommended to those that live in the northern metro! Nothing else to say other than authentic and flavorful Mexican food involved.

I checked it before leaving and it was soft and chewy. I asked them to make it crispy and it came back the same. Then I started eating my enchilada when I got home. It was cold and the cheese was still shredded pieces. They didn't even bother to melt the cheese. I called and they asked me to bring it back. I have flown in from out of state and exhausted so I wasn't about to go back. I'm hoping it's a one off. I will try again with just the taco and see if it was just a bad cook.

When we walked in, the first thing we noticed was that several tables needed to be cleaned. Seating was limited because many of the empty tables still had dishes and trays on them. We ordered at the register, and I got the pastor specialty tacos with a jamaica. The cashier asked if I was sure about the jamaica because she said theirs is a bit sour, and she even offered me a small sample first. I thought that was thoughtful customer service. After tasting it, I still wanted it, it didn't taste sour to me at all. It just wasn't as sweet as the jamaica I'm used to, and I actually enjoyed it. The hint of ginger was a nice surprise and something I'd never had before. The tacos were good, maybe not the best I've ever had, but definitely solid. I loved that the tortillas were handmade, and adding some of the table chili gave them the extra kick I was looking for. Before we left, we noticed another couple clearing off a table themselves because there wasn't a clean place to sit. If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to stay on top of cleaning the dining area. Customers shouldn't have to wipe down or clear tables before enjoying their meal. It may have just been an unusually busy day or they may have been short-staffed. Overall, there were definitely things I enjoyed, and I'd be willing to give them another try. Hopefully next time the dining area is a little cleaner because I think that would make the overall experience much better.
