I wish I knew his name, but there's a guy there (shorter height and clean haircut) who gives some of the best customer service I've experienced. Super friendly, accommodating, and genuinely wants to make sure you get exactly what you're craving. One thing to note--there's a menu, but no pictures or brochures, so you kind of have to know what you want or ask. Luckily, he's more than happy to walk you through options. Nachos - Exactly how I remember nachos should be. The chips are those pre-made round ones (like Tostitos Rounds), but still crunchy and satisfying. The meats taste freshly cooked, with a nice sprinkle of veggies. And the best part--they use that classic nacho cheese and sour cream combo. The kind of cheese you'd get at 7-Eleven or a Dodgers game. Not the healthiest, but sometimes I want what I want. Tacos - Simple and classic. You really can't go wrong here. I've tried different meats and they've all been solid. Wet Burritos - Great balance of rice, beans, meat, and veggies. I've had the chicken, carne asada, and al pastor--all delicious. It also comes with a side of lettuce and sliced avocado, which is a nice touch. Side Bar - Fresh radishes, pickled jalapeños, lime, and lemon. Everything tastes fresh and adds a lot to the meal. What really stands out is how flexible they are with orders. I asked for nacho cheese on the side so my chips wouldn't get soggy--no problem. Extra salsa? As much as you want. Not sure if you want red or green salsa on your wet burrito? Get both on the side. They make it easy to customize exactly how you like it. Overall, great food, but even better service. This is the kind of spot that I don't want to review so I can keep it for myself.

But the last two times, I've been getting some other kind of meat or a tiny tiny amount of asada meat mixed with the other meats (they have cheek, lips, and head meat) which I don't prefer. The "asada" tacos not only taste completely different, the texture is different, and it looks like shredded stewy meat. It's also somehow drier and less juicy. I also saw the cook chopping up the flap steaks before I ordered it and that was not what I got. I thought the last time was a mix-up but now I think they thought I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. 5 stars for the real asada and Jamaica drink 3 stars for whatever I got the last 2 times

The inside is hot as heck because their AC isn't working, but they have a nice outdoor seating area. Food: 5/5 On Tuesdays and Thursdays they have a fish taco deal. They use to be two fish tacos for $1.50 but now it's $2.50 (don't let the sign outside mislead you, it is outdated). The fish tacos were light and a bed of cabbage and some cream sauce on two flour tortillas. It's a great deal for $1.25 a taco. Service: 5/5 I believe this place is family owned. The family working the counter is super sweet. The fish were battered and fried to order. It all came out fairly quickly. Note: They do accept credit card but it's a 4% charge. I suggest bringing cash.

I came on a Thursday afternoon through the drive-thru and there was barely a line. There were two cars in front of us but they paid and picked up their food and left. The drive-thru operated very efficiently and had their customers' order ready as soon as we pulled up to the window to pay. It took us maybe 10 minutes to order, pay, and pick-up our food! Food ($15): Carne Asada Super Fries (7.8/10): Felt like a whole pound of fries, guacamole, cheese, asada, and sour cream, it also comes with beans but we opted of it! I was very surprised to feel how heavy the entire box felt! I love that they use shoestring fries but wish that it was fried a little longer so it would be a bit crispier and it wouldn't have gotten soggy as fast. There was also so much meat and it didn't feel like you'd run out of meat and have a lot of fries left over. I also wished they drizzled on the sour cream more evenly since it was mainly in one corner but it wasn't a big issue, we just mixed it around ourselves.
