The restaurant is clean and casual with friendly and attentive staff. The food was well seasoned and delicious. My steak was a little tough and gristly but the flavor was there. Everything else was on point. No chips and salsa was offered while we waited. This was my second visit here and I will go again.

Was not expecting to pull up to an old Taco Bell storefront converted into this restaurant. Just heads up - inside still looks like an old Taco Bell too!!!! The service is outstanding. Our waitress was so sweet and informative. She had a smile on her face the whole time she helped us and gave honest opinions of what menu items we would like. Prices are great and the portion sizes are huge! Their menu has some traditional items you'd find on a Mexican menu but don't expect to get those run-of-the-mill options like the Speedy Gonzales special or a generic taco salad. They have their menu labeled with "fake Mexican food" to outline things you can get elsewhere. I was so excited to see shrimp stuffed avocado on the menu and it was divine! So much food and so much flavor. Margaritas were also delicious. Parking is easy and you have to let the aesthetics go. This place is worth visiting and i can't wait to go back and try some more items.

The cheese didnt melt in a deep fried chili. Pouring a warm sauce over something out of the fridge doesnt heat it up. Heres the gotcha cook you premade the food portioned in the fridge so all you have to do is sauce and serve. Ive been around food service long enough to know the games. You precook so you dont have to make it at night. Which leads to oh we didnt sell as many so we have it made for tomorrow. Thats pure lazy, your customers pay for fresh to order, left overs are for home. Your a discrase to real cooks.

I was worried about getting a table so I sat down and my coworker ordered. That was unnecessary. The tables flip frequently. People are not in there long and the staff gets the tables cleaned quickly. I got a Spicy Chorizo taco and a burrito. Both were excellent. I really liked the taco. But... I really liked the burrito too. :-) I will say - the place is loud when packed like it was. But, it cleared out a bit and it was not so bad. Highly recommend.

Happened to run across this food truck on a trip to the Premium Outlets. Had no intention of…read morestopping but on the way to my car, the food smelled amazing. There was no line so I ordered 2 shrimp tacos and a barbacoa burrito. Preparation was quick and food was ready in less than 10 minutes. The shrimp tacos were so good! Definitely did not expect the flavor that they packed, and I was mad that I only got two. They are very tiny street taco size, so if you're looking for a meal you would probably want 4 or more depending on your appetite. Other than being disappointed about the size of the tacos, my only feedback for the truck would be that there are no prices listed on the menu. This is a disadvantage because many people order based on not only the description of a dish but also how much it costs. It's a lot of trouble to ask for pricing on 3, 4, 5 menu items you're considering, especially if there's a line, when they could make it easy and put the prices on a sheet at the least. Other than that, I enjoyed the food and would purchase more tacos if I ever come across this truck again.

I agree with other reviewers, if you're looking for a place like this, it'll meet your expectations. You can get some genuine items inexpensively and they have a modest menu that goes beyond the usual tacos and burritos. The ambiance of being in the back of a long building, with no windows, makes it feel a bit hole-in-the-wall ... but the seats and tables are tidy. If you're an anglo the staff will speak to you in English first. As a humble family kitchen, it serves it's niche here just fine.
