I tried a mix of things: 3 mulitas (cheese and birria), plus some pastor and asada tacos. Overall,…read morethe food was decent, but a few things held it back from being "really good." The mulitas had solid flavor, especially the birria, but they definitely needed more cilantro and onion to balance everything out. One thing that bothered me was how the tortillas were cut -- it made it hard to actually add salsa and have it stay inside, which kind of took away from the experience. As for the pastor and asada tacos, they were just "okay." Nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. They had a red spicy salsa and a green mild salsa and that was it as far as options that you can add in your own. There were no cabbage, radish, and other important ingredients that make a taco reach another level. I did like the decorations and music they had playing. It goes well with a mexican restaurant. The service was excellent. The guy that helped me explained the menu very well and said that he could tweak a few things to accommodate what I was asking for. He also did well checking in on us. So yeah, it lands in that middle zone -- "It's okay" with some potential to be "good." If they tweak a few things (especially toppings and tortilla setup), this place could easily move up a full star for me.

We stumbled upon this place after trying our other options which didn't work out. This was one of the few places still opened. The place is attached to a bowling alley, which is nice because you can hang out. Tacos and bowling sounds like a great combo. The place was decorated and they had a chalkboard menu on the wall you can look at. They have specials based on the day. We ordered 1 combo of 3 tacos which came with rice and beans and a drink for $14.50, which seemed decent. We chose chicken for the combo and also ordered another set of tacos: fish taco, beef tongue and asada. The tacos were a little below average, especially the fish taco which was not crispy and dense. It seemed like they just used a frozen fish stick. My favorite was the beef tongue. Although the combo sounded good, the portions of the rice and beans was small. They had condiments you can get on your own next to the cashier. Service was fine and there was seating in the restaurant. One good thing I really enjoyed was their green sauce! It was refreshing and not spicy. I doused my tacos in the green sauce.

Wow!!!! What a delicious dinner we had!!! Best Mexican I have had stateside. We had chicken tacos and a carne asada burrito- the seasoning was perfection, and paired with simple, fresh and flavorful ingredients. The Jamaica drink, horchata, and all tortillas were house- made. Don't miss this little place. Friendly and attentive service made the experience great. Such a gem of a place. read more

Corn tortillas held up OK but they were not freshly made which is not an issue, but would add a more authentic feel. The coffee was good a little bit strong for me, but my mom seemed to like it . The employee was very sweet and friendly . She acknowledged us and took our order. It was quick friendly, and the restaurant was clean and orderly. For two bowls of Menudo and two coffees we paid $38. I think this is a bit pricey for what we've got but considering the time we live in and the cost of goods I think they're only charging that much to pay the bill bills. So if you want to help out a community owned restaurant, this is where you go for a nice hot bowl of Menudo.
