To be honest, the place definitely needs some updating--the chairs and tables are all in pretty rough shape, and overall it has more of a dive feel. That said, the food more than makes up for it. The Mexican cuisine here is incredibly authentic, and everything we've tried--tacos, nachos, birria, and more-has been consistently delicious. It's the kind of spot where you overlook the atmosphere because the flavors are just that good. Another huge plus is how affordable it is. I honestly can't think of another Mexican restaurant in the area that can beat their prices for the quality and portion sizes you get. Just a heads-up: all of the seating is outdoors, though there is a covered area for shade. It's also pet-friendly, which makes it a convenient place to stop for a bite if you're out and about with your furry friend.

The really nice gentleman at the register was great I told him exactly why I was there and he really loved that! The restaurant is actually a shipping container,how cool. I love how small it is and they do have some outside seating as well. It's very simple but cute inside. Now what I ordered. I kept it simple the chicken burrito and a side of fries. I'm the video I saw they had the same burrito so I figured why not. WOW, first thing I noticed was how heavy my to go bag was. And when I got home I was very surprised how huge this thing was. Flavor was neck and neck so good! I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu! Update: Cash is preferred. They do have a Zelle QR code if needed.

I got the quesadilla with ground beef, and it was tasty and huge, the sauces that came with it were also very tasty. My boyfriend wanted the crunch-a-dilla supreme which was not on the menu anymore but they made it for him anyway and he loved it. They have a few other sauces you can go and get yourself if you'd like. We loved it and we would definitely come again!

I used to make it a point to stop here every time I'm in town for work--but after this experience,…read moreI won't be coming back. Last night I placed a large order: burrito de birria, two tamales, pozole, large bag of chips , guacamole, drinks . After driving 30 minutes back to my hotel, I opened the bag to find the tamales were completely missing. Then I tried the pozole, and it was so salty it was absolutely inedible. On top of that, they didn't include a single condiment--just a bland, overly salty soup. I tried calling for 30 minutes straight--no answer. Left a voicemail--no call back. Not that night, not the next morning. Completely ignored. The next day, I went in person to give them a chance to make it right. I had my order number and explained everything clearly. Instead of even attempting to help, they refused to do anything without a physical receipt. No effort to look up the order, no accountability, no customer care. Just excuses. Expecting someone to drive 30 minutes back with uneaten food just to prove a mistake is ridiculous. I ended up having to go to Wendy's just to eat dinner after spending money here--that alone says everything. Mistakes happen, but the way a business handles them is what matters. This place clearly doesn't care once they have your money. This wasn't my first issue here, but it will definitely be my last. Antes hacía un punto de parar aquí cada vez que estaba en la ciudad por trabajo--pero después de esta experiencia, no vuelvo. Anoche hice un pedido grande: burrito de birria,dos tamales, pozole, bolsa de chips guacamole y bebidas. Después de manejar 30 minutos de regreso a mi hotel, abrí la bolsa y me di cuenta de que los tamales no estaban. Luego probé el pozole y estaba tan salado que era completamente incomible. Para colmo, no incluyeron ni un solo complemento--solo la sopa, sin nada más. Intenté llamar durante 30 minutos seguidos--nadie contestó. Dejé un buzón de voz--nadie me regresó la llamada. Ni esa noche, ni a la mañana siguiente. Totalmente ignorado. Al día siguiente fui en persona para darles la oportunidad de arreglar la situación. Tenía mi número de orden y expliqué todo claramente. En lugar de ayudar, se negaron a hacer algo porque no tenía el recibo físico. Ni siquiera intentaron buscar la orden, cero responsabilidad, cero atención al cliente. Puras excusas. Esperar que alguien maneje 30 minutos de regreso con comida que ni siquiera se puede comer es ridículo. Terminé teniendo que ir a Wendy's solo para poder cenar después de haber gastado dinero aquí--eso lo dice todo. Los errores pasan, pero la forma en que un negocio responde es lo que realmente importa. Aquí claramente no les importa el cliente una vez que ya pagaste. No es la primera vez que tengo un problema aquí, pero definitivamente será la última.

We shopped and shopped and worked up an appetite. We walked into the tiny little restaurant and I immediately went onto my yelp app. The menu is NOT in English and I had no idea what I wanted so I used pictures as some sort of a guideline lol. My husband ordered enchiladas and we agreed, per usual that we would split everything. I ordered huarache and then last minute we decided to do an order of the plantains, (only one not pictures) sorry y'all they were delicious!!! The only flaw I saw was the guy in back, guessing owner, pretty much ran the entire show, which is badass, however I wished he wore gloves!! And then I almost ate both foil and wax paper from scraping the plastic to the bottom, it was worth it. We love finding authentic little places like this, they started with a food struck and now have this little hole in the wall place that packs a powerful punch! Oh and their green hot sauce that came in the soufflé cup was amazing! If not for my son, I would have drenched my food in it! So good! We would definitely come back, but I'd research the menu a little more before coming, so I can figure out what I want beforehand.

Grocery: I love how the place is so fresh and modern with cool displays like the orange trees when you walk in the door, but every time I walk around to shop, I don't end up finding much that I need. Usually at cultural grocery stores, I find some unique selections of things I can't find elsewhere as well as great prices on things that are more common. While I do find some great hot sauces and some other items, I feel that the standard items are higher priced than most grocery stores. For that reason, I only end up purchasing a few select items from the grocery area. Eatery: I love going in for tacos or a platter. I need to try some of the other items too. It's great that there are so many options, but it's also like a food court and you need to go to different places for different things. Until you've been a few times, you kinda have to figure it out for yourself. The food is always great though. I have a few tacos that I haven't loved, but I just don't order those ones when I go back. As of now it's set up great for getting food to go and then they have a bunch of tables if you want to dine in. It would be great if they added some more atmosphere to the dining experience like their taqueria in Johns Island.

The usual taco suspects appear on the hand written board such as carne & pollo, as well as the non-typical tacos made from tounge, cheek and more.

Here you find classic quesadillas, large tortas so heaping with your choice of meat you may steer clear from your evening dinner. Juartes (misspelled?)

Spicey carrot, radish slices, a roasted jalapeno acompany all orders in a pouch shaped sheet of foil.

Although many folks continue to be food truck biased, and its truely their loss, the rest of us that have eaten at this tacones mecca don't mind your driving by, as there's more for us.

If you see the popo eatin' there, you know it's good. Did I mention how cheap it is? I got a Torta de Al Pastore, which is a huge Mexican sandwich, with lots of spicy pork on it, as well as lettuce, avocados, and some other things. All for only $4!
