As you walk into this deceptively designed shop, you'll find a tight entry. To the right is the…read moreservice counter. Immediately in front of you, is a grocery store with fresh produce, drinks, etc.. There's no real service to speak of. You go in, look at the menu above and behind the register, make your choices and pay the employee at the till. When I went, no one offered to answer any questions or sell me anything. The woman at the counter next to the young man behind the register just watched me while I checked stuff out. On the left between a dark room and the grocery, were large racks of Mexican pastries and breads. I have tried Mexican pastries in the past and have not really enjoyed them. But "hope springs. . ." and all that. So, seeing a decent amount of plump pastries and breads that looked incredibly fresh and enticing, I used the provided tongs and placed a few into a bag (also provided). I'm still thinking about going back for more. They were all moist and flavorful with fillings that were delicately sweetened. So so good. I perused the menu acting as though I hadn't come there for one item only - a breakfast burrito with bacon. I liked the breakfast burrito I had here and would definitely recommend it. It's a full meal capable of holding you for a long time. I would probably want to eat one again before a long day of chores, shopping, or a strenuous hike. I need to feel like I earned the calories. And I wasn't hungry until dinner. Behind the register is a doorway to a whole other experience. The kitchen is safely and sanitarily located behind tall countertops and a refrigerated section. I was excited to see the variety of offerings from south of the border. Are you hankering for a goody you can only get in Mexico, come here and look. You'll probably find it. That dark room I mentioned earlier is a huge dining area with dark iconic furniture that I discovered on my first trip to Mexico many years ago. Black leather and wood barrel shaped chairs with black leather topped round tables scattered around a dark room with black tile floors. There were patrons eating at a couple of the tables who looked like regulars. The size of the dining area made me think it would be a great place for a large gathering. I'm now wondering if they ever have live music and if they would be able to accommodate a large birthday party. There are a couple of picnic tables in the back, off the parking lot, where I ate my meal. I believe the notion of putting tables back there was more like an afterthought because it's not decorated and it's right along the back walkway from parked cars to the restaurant door. It's not regularly attended to, I guess, as there were remnants of another customer's meal at the other table. I also had the thought that it might just be a place for the employees to take a break and eat a meal in peace. Overall, I will be coming back and trying other menu items, baked goods and products from the other room.

From the detailed flooring to the…read morecolorful décor and outdoor ambiance, the space was genuinely enjoyable and definitely stands out from other local taco spots. They also have a great variety of drinks, including micheladas, Mexican Coke, and other options. As far as customer service, unfortunately, that part of our experience wasn't the greatest. The gentleman who took our order didn't greet us or smile and seemed very overwhelmed or stressed, which made the interaction feel a little unwelcoming. One important thing I brought up while ordering was that someone in our party has a shrimp allergy. We were told there is cross-contamination and that they're unable to accommodate the allergy. I appreciated being told upfront, but this was the first time we've encountered this at a local taco restaurant. If you have a serious shrimp or seafood allergy, I would definitely keep this in mind and consider avoiding the restaurant for safety. Pricing is pretty reasonable, with options ranging roughly from $2-$20. The portions were great, and the food itself was good quality. The asada tacos and tortas had great flavor, and you could tell they were using quality ingredients. The salsas were SUPER spicy but really flavorful! The horchata wasn't personally my favorite, but it was still decent. Overall, the aesthetic, food quality, portions, and pricing were great. Customer service could definitely be improved, and anyone with a seafood allergy should be aware of the cross-contamination risk before visiting.

Typically most places can dry out the meat, or it's minced up, or has grizzle in it. The meat here was delicious, and I was very impressed. I plan to try the Chile Relleno burrito next week, and if it's just as good - I'll bump the rating to 5 stars. It's always a good sign when there's a crowd of people in a restaurant at 11:30 ... Even though there was a handful of people in front of me, I was out in about 10 minutes. Great Place!

When the food came there was 4 meals plopped down on the table. Nothing said about the missing food. It was 5 minutes before the 5th meal showed up.

When we asked they brought a basket with 2 tortillas and said they were making more now. 5 minutes later more tortillas arrived. 3 of the 5 meals included tortillas. When done we waited over 10 minutes before we tried to flag down our server. Finally paid. The ambiance is nice. The food is really pretty good. Don't know if we were just unlucky tonight it was the first time we ever ate there.

It's a…read morefamily friendly restaurant that's good for a casual lunch or large parties as they have the space. The decor is a blast from the past and looks like it did inside when I first stated coming here, so they haven't done much to the place but to me that gives this spot that old school charm. I personally love the old time decor and owls all around the restaurant. I find their booths to be cozy and comfortable. The menu is also pretty large with all of the classic dishes. The staff have always been nice when I've come in. They are attentive, friendly and the food is whipped up quickly. Happy hour menu seems to bring in the crowds but I do think there are other places with a happy hour menu that gives you more bang for your buck than here. The food is average in many ways but very comforting. Probably I'd rate all of the different dishes I've tried between 3.5-4 stars depending what you get. I really love their albondigas soup and that's one of my favs. Never steers me wrong. Also their crunchy shell tacos aren't bad. I came for a beef taco with rice and beans and was pleasantly surprised. This isn't Michelin star food people - just classic no frills Mexican food that seems to have kept them operating all this time, impressive if you ask me. My last pro tip is the margaritas are stellar. Huge fan of their mango marg and I'd come back for this alone. Just at $15 that's a little hefty for a hole in the wall spot like this. Same with the food. Two margs and two simple smaller main plates ran us $70 after tax and tip. Seems like it's hard to get a good deal nowadays but for keeping these local gems open, I'll always do my best to support.
