Solid Taqueria, Quick Service and Tasty Food :) Son had the 3 Carne Asada Tacos - which he liked . I Loved my Crunchy Carne Asada Taco Plate :)

Carnitas taco salad
Michelle R.

We were looking for a quick Mexican place for National Taco Day...accidentally found this place based on the good Yelp reviews! Such a good choice. Unassuming storefront leads into a very clean and super welcoming cafe! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The menu was simple yet just enough for everyone to enjoy. The food was spectacular! I ordered the carnitas taco salad...the flour tortilla bowl was homemade and fresh, the carnitas was amazingly flavorful, and the quantity was perfect! Highly recommend a try!

Wet Burrito
P3ace 2.

If you love having leeched chemicals, and possibly carcinogenic substances in your food, you should absolutely order takeout from this place. I ordered the wet al pastor burrito for takeout, which was actually pretty damn good. However, It was not long after a few bites that my meal was completely soiled. Before I had started eating I took the burrito out of the original packaging, but after having a closer look at the styrofoam container I noticed it looked a bit odd. I started to peel back some of the cheese from it, from which some of the styrofoam stuck to as I took it off. Having then opened it and looking at the edges it's pretty obvious that it's melted. Melted... Let that sink in. Melted into my delicious burrito. My poor delicious burrito... Much to my dismay, I chose to call the place, only to be disgusted by the people who run this place. I asked the lady who picked up the phone about the food and told her that my container appeared to be melted, from which she responded to and I quote. "Yea that sometimes happens since we microwave the food in the styrofoam containers to melt the cheese." LET ME REPEAT THAT AGAIN. THEY ARE MICROWAVING YOUR FOOD IN STYROFOAM. After she said that I was just pretty much shocked, not by the fact that I now knew for sure that my food and the container itself were contaminated, but by the fact she said those words so casually. I don't understand how the people making this food and the managing staff can be so oblivious to food safety. If they are doing this type of thing who knows what other kind of "shortcuts" and mishandling they take with their food. I feel defiled and violated. Completely and utterly betrayed by what I thought was a delicious burrito. All jokes aside, maybe I'm overreacting a bit but I'm upset. My meal and appetite are ruined for the day. Definitely not coming here again, if I could give negative stars I would. I will never look at burritos the same way again.

Torta, side order of rice
Pooja L.

Delicious! My friend recommended this taqueria last night, as it's close to home and I had never been. Placed a phone order, ready in about 10-15 minutes. I got the chicken torta with a side of rice, definitely was not disappointed at all! The rice was so good, soft and moist! The torta was perfect. Give this place a try yall!

I come here pretty often, and it's always a solid choice for Mexican food in town. The food is…read moreconsistently good, the drinks are solid, and they easily have the best chips and salsa around. Service is always friendly and reliable, which keeps me coming back. My only real recommendation is to avoid sitting in the bar area if you're in a hurry. Service there tends to move a lot slower, so it can take a while to get your order in and get your food. The restaurant itself is a little run down, and the bathrooms could definitely use some attention, but the bar and outside area is decorated nicely and has a good atmosphere overall. All in all, it's a great local spot and one I keep going back to.

Unfortunately, this was a really disheartening experience…read more We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally came out there was an issue with the size of the menudo bowl that had been offered to us. Instead of trying to resolve the situation or make it right, the manager, Noah, became argumentative and tried to debate what had been said rather than listen to the customer. After waiting that long, the last thing anyone expects is to feel like they have to argue just to be heard. What made it more disappointing was the lack of willingness to fix the issue or offer a solution. We came in hoping for a good meal and left feeling frustrated and unheard. It's sad because good service could have easily turned this into a positive experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. At the end of it he realized and came back and finally apologized.

The food was well done, the ambiance was the busiest we have seen it in a while (they seemed to have a party on the bar side which is a good thing).

However, I should've asked for grilled chicken, instead of shredded chicken. * Wedding platter- asada with corn tortillas (5/5) The "signature medium spicy cream sauce" was delicious! The service was great. We were greeted with a smile. We arrived right when they opened, so we received our food promptly. While waiting for our food, we received chips and salsa. The ambiance was kinda quiet, being the only ones in the restaurant, but they had upbeat Mexican music playing. *The cook did get our order wrong, they gave my husband chicken, instead of asada. But the waitress and cook were quick to correct this. Overall, good food (4.5/5) and good price. We spent less than $35.

Great traditional Mexican food. This place never disappoints. I started with the whiskey smash,…read morewhich was a refreshing variation of almost a margarita. The complimentary chips along with their salsa and beans paired amazingly well. I proceeded to get the choose three build your own combo with a beef taquito(pictured), green chicken enchilada, and a chicken burrito. The beef taquito was first of all huge, the biggest one that I have ever seen. It came with plenty of toppings including guacamole, sour cream, cheese, cabbage, and tomatoes. The burrito was decent, definetely could have used at least some more salsa, ended up being a filler on my plate. I saved the best for last, the classic enchilada was smothered in a delicious salsa that I dipped my other two items into. If you want to try out different things and get a good amount of food for your money, you can't go wrong with the build your own combo, especially from this establishment. Apart from the food, the service exceeded my expectations and it is perfect for your next casual dining experience.

Gave them one more shot for a taco salad... and they blew it again. You'd think a taco salad would…read morebe a simple win, but nope. I asked for grilled chicken and got stewed chicken with absolutely zero flavor. They said it came with guacamole and sour cream--neither were anywhere to be found. The "salad" was basically lettuce, pico, and whole beans with a super tiny portion overall. I added bell peppers and onions, maybe five pieces total, and they hit me with a $6 upcharge. Would've been nice to know that before so I could've said no thanks. Final price for this subpar salad? $25. I actually had to go back just to show them. The bar manager, Hamad (spelling), tried to help by adding more chicken and then told me the sour cream and guac were "under the shell." Really? Who hides condiments under the shell? Total waste of time and money. I'm done. No more chances.
