But before ordering, we waited over 10 mins just to take our order. The restaurant was short staffed with only 1 server tending to 8 tables and 4 to go orders during our dining. She was very nice and served with a smile but she was pulled from all different directions and also checking the back to serve the good. I felt very bad for her and wished she had more help so it was a better experience for the customers and staff. All the food here is very reasonable with huge portions you can share as family style. I higher recommend the chicken quesadilla and the steak and check fajitas. I don't recommend the nacho since the plate portion seemed light compared to other places. The plate looked much later in the menu pictures. We also ordered the Pancho Molcajete that came with shrimp, steak, cheese and onions. it was not worth $42 and no it doesn't serve for 2 people. It was more of the black salsa sauce in the bowl than the actual food. Very disappointing and not worth the price. I would come back to order to go but not ever come back for a sit down!

I had the opportunity to try out this restaurant today. Let's go over each part of the experience…read more Ambiance: My initial impression was that the restaurant itself was clean and tidy. However, none of the usually warm attributes of a family owned establishment. The was a distinct lack of color and warmth. Service: The service was good. I was greeted quickly and shown to a table very promptly too. (It was 4pm so it was after the lunch crowd and before dinner.) I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to experience the best possible service.) Menu: The menu had lots of options but I was set on exploring their taco Tuesday special. I ordered one of each. Food: My first surprise was when I was offered chips and salsa for $1.99. This is usually a free item at most restaurants but I thought to myself, if they are going to charge, then it must be something to talk about. I WAS WRONG! The chips were homemade but not to order. As a result, they were cool to the touch. The portion was modest and the salsa itself was barely an elevated tomato purée. That was almost no discernible spice to it. Then came the tacos. They were the small traditional street taco size which was just fine. However, none of the 4 tacos that I ordered had any noticeable heat. They were not quite cool to the touch but the certainly were not hot either. The presentation was nice as they were set on a long rectangular plate side by side and dressed with traditional cilantro and onions. I ordered 4 different meat types but the only offered one small shot glass sized salsa for all 4 of them. Sense of welcome: They were showing one of the World Cup games. In other circumstances, I might have ordered more tacos, maybe a dessert or even a beer. Unfortunately, at this point, I didn't want to stay. If I wanted more chips, they were going to charge another $2. It wasn't the $2 that was the problem, it was simply that nothing to that point was worth staying for. If they cannot get a simple plate of tacos served correctly when there was nobody else in the restaurant, I don't think there's any reason to go back to try anything else. I would have been better off at a taco truck.

I dig this place! Small hole-in the wall ship with big big flavors :)…read more Just about every time I visit, the tables are nearly filled. The timing is uncanny because I keep running into highly social, blue collar professionals with quite the appetite. And y'know what? Based on how comfortable they are with the staff, I can tell they are regulars that truly enjoy the food. That alone should tell you a lot! Definitely gotta show some love to their Taco Tuesday special (.89 cents for most; $1.99 for other proteins if I remember correctly). I'm rarely in the area these days, but their fish tacos with the salsa verde are so delicious. My friend who introduced this place to me actually grew up eating here after school. She loves the lengua and cabeza tacos so I'll have to give those a try the next time I'm in town.

There wasn't any line for ordering so I got my order in pretty quick for 7 straight tacos and two hard shell. But we did wait well over a half an hour to get our order they filled about 30 orders in the time we were waiting. The phone was going off the hook. So I guess it's a good place if you have a lot of mouths to feed for cheap. The tacos we got, carnitas was nice and a pastor just okay quality but nothing I would go out of my way for. Salsa wasn't flavorful. The hard shell tacos were disappointment at $4 each. That person didn't like the minced chicken either. I may try breakfast. They get an extra star for the hardworking staff and the low TT price. Fancier fillings like shrimp, lengua can be had for 2.49. There is a bare bones eat in area but it's a tad warm. Pepsi machine has Gatorade. You can get horchata and jamaica. Parking in the strip mall lot was easy.

The cashier taking the order was very friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. Food I was shocked by the amount of stuff that they piled on top of the tacos. Most of the places just give you tacos with onion/cilantro/salsa and you grab side toppings separately. I actually enjoyed it because they threw a little bit of everything on there. All the taco meats had great flavor and the salsa had a good kick to it. I preferred the red one over the green. Definitely have to come back and try some of their other items.

It's a food truck, so you're really there for the food, but the staff was welcoming and they were cranking out orders as fast as they could.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking them out, especially for the Taco Tuesday specials. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I'm not sure if that is because I ordered to-go or not, so be sure to double check if you choose to order from here. My meal did come with chips and salsa at least. Chips and salsa: 2.5/5. The chips weren't too oily and had a good crunch. The salsa has a little heat but was otherwise rather mild and plain tasting. Shrimp burrito: 2.5/5. Inside the burrito was some sort of creamy sauce, rice, salsa, shrimp, and cheese. The shrimp was rather bland, but the rice was decent, soft, and seasoned. Everything else was middling. The end result was just a passing grade burrito.

They do get busy, but I still got my food in a timely manner. I got 3 fish tacos and a large hibiscus agua fresca.

It completely changed my world because now at 8:15 PM I am still thinking about the delicious pepper. Next time I am going to ask for an extra one. I think I am in love. The tacos are still amazing, I love the crema sauce. The ambiance is casual and clean. A great place to grab a casual meal with your friends/family if you want to sit down.
