A huge shoutout to Aldo, our server, who made the experience even better. I have a no dairy diet, and he was incredibly accommodating with making changes to my order so I could still fully enjoy my meal. He was patient, understanding, and genuinely made me feel comfortable, which I really appreciated. It's kid friendly and although it's a bit dark inside they did a good job with decor! The customer service was amazing from start to finish, and you can tell they care about their customers' experience. Great food, reasonable prices, and excellent service -- we will definitely be coming back. Five stars!

The birria ramen had the same issue it tasted mostly like salt with very little actual flavor. The tacos were just okay, nothing that stood out. On top of that, the prices are high. The service was also pretty slow, and they only had one salsa option, which unfortunately wasn't good either. There are much better birria spots out there. I gave this place a try because of all the hype, but I wouldn't go back or recommend it.

She is a service animal... with a nasty attitude pointed to the table near the front towards the kitchen. I would never mind the inquiry regarding my service animal but the way she asked was condescending, disrespectful and unprofessional. She noticed my discomfort and she didn't care. Instead she started spreading the word of my service animal and employees and or family members of her kept gossiping about it. My father was not sure what to think or say. When my mother arrived she came to take the order. I asked what was on the nachos. The normal stuff beans and at the end she said meat or chicken Then I inquired about the more expensive nachos what was the difference between them since more expensive, she said the meat. One has meat and the other does not. I was confused and she said it as if I knew the menu. If you tell me all the ingredients for the first nachos plus meat, I like to know the difference for the other one. Instead I asked to take my parents order and I was going to think a bit more.

The flavor for the barbacoa was not good. The beans needed more chorizo for the frijoles puercos original taste. The portion was SMALL for the$. The tortillas were not fully cooked! Crudas. The gorditas/sopes had literally barely to NO meat (desebrada) barely a few strands of meat, consomé not good and more veggies than anything. A Total disappointment in the taste of food.

The gentleman who takes your order and prepares your food is very attentive and is able to remember everything in one go. If he's unsure he will ask. So, your orders are always correct and ready in a timely manner.

She even suggested other plates when we asked, which I appreciated. We ordered the carnitas plate, but the flavor and texture didn't seem like traditional pork carnitas -- it tasted more like beef to us, and it wasn't what we were hoping for. My boyfriend ordered the carne en chile rojo, but he also wasn't a big fan of the flavor. The albóndiga soup was probably our favorite, and I would rate it around a 4/10. The service was definitely the highlight of our visit. Our waitress was kind and tried to guide us toward other options, but unfortunately the food flavors just didn't meet our expectations this time. Hopefully other dishes are better.
