This place doesn't even deserve one star. The service is HORRIBLE. I walked in and was approached by a worker with a bad attitude. He asked me in Spanish what I needed. I answered in Spanish "can I get an order of your hot sauce/salsa to go" which I've purchased before. he literally rolled his eyes and replied in Spanish "I don't understand what you want" I repeated myself attempting to be as clear as possible. His reply in Spanish, "we're all out of salsa" really!??? it's no wonder this place is always empty! if you hate ur job please don't show it, it's very bad for business!!!!

So freaking delicious. Got a burrito to go and it was all the freshest stuff for a really reasonable price, would go back every day!

Service is really bad and the staff member doesn't seem to know what he was doing. We had asked for asada but they claimed that they don't have any cooked right now as they only have chicken, pastor and birria ready. I ordered a birria combo and got birria tacos. I didn't want to go back and have it be fixed as the service was already bad. Birria had a lot fat and was drenched in oil, I just picked out the pieces that were decent. Be aware that if you go that not all of the meats are prepared and you will have to select of the few that are. Also check your order before you leave, you may have the wrong order.

Was in the neighborhood today and happened to find this lil taco spot and decided to give it a try. Only one person making the food and taking the orders and on top of that, he had to refill the salsa bar which was empty. Poor guy had no help which made the service slow. Owner needs to hire an extra worker which will solve the wait time. Asada tacos were delicious however the birria was quite bland, more seasoning needed. They charge you $0.95 for card which is pretty high, hope they use the extra money to hire another worker to help out. I might give them another try in future but nothing made me want to definitely return.

My wife had carne asada tacos and I had a burrito. The food was absolutely excellent. Friendly staff. The interior is basic but good for a informal meal.

I'm so grossed out right now. This is the 2nd time I've encountered something like this in THIS plaza area. Why do they have the people at the cash register cooking the food? Not too mention they don't wash their hands or wear gloves. The first place I encountered this at was in the deli Same exact thing Man took my cash then went to make my sandwich without wearing gloves OR washing his hands. Unbelievable

Awful bland OLD food. Was there last weekend we ordered 5 birria tacos, 2 chorizo tacos, 1 quesadilla & 2 horchatas. The birria tacos were bland, dried up meat & tortillas, they don't give you any consome on the side. The chorizo meat was burnt & extremely dried up. We also ordered 2 orders of beans & 2 orders of rice which they combined in these small boxes, so they basically gave us 1 size portion for the price of 2. The rice was so old & crusty we ended up throwing it away. The only food that was decent from what we got were their sauces lol. This was ridiculous everything came out to almost 50 bucks, it's not about the money it's about how awful the food was. We thought we've give this place a second chance because they're renovating so we thought maybe it's a new owner, but we won't be coming back here again & I suggest you don't either. I hate giving businesses bad reviews specially when they're starting up again, however it's very upsetting paying high prices for crappy food.

We stopped by this new establishment to have dinner. I ordered a Lengua burrito with beans, rice and cheese, and also ordered a Mulita de birria and a Horchata drink. food was great, and the Horchata was made just right the food prices are lower, then other restaurants of its kind .The service was courteous and friendly, and we had our dinner in no time. The interior is colorful with plenty of tables and chairs to sit down and enjoy your meal, there’s plenty of parking with a handicap stalls at the front entranceParking: Plenty of parking .Shared parking lot with other businesses on premises.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking at the front entrance

Plenty of seating. Only Modelo beer. People leave soda cans on top of the trash. I asked the worker he said no he collects them. I was getting them for a disabled friend that collects them. Of well. Place is nice and clean. The place is loud. Music is loud. The side stuff for 3.oo for the potion is too muchThe sides are small and the rice is overcooked. The beans are wateryYou use plastic knives and forks. Try eating a burrito wet with a plastic knife and with a plastic knife and fork. There are no sides with the $9 meals. They have no nachos or even chips. My wife and I agree:;;; we will not be back. The guy at the front told me the red is spicy, and the green one is not. After taste again I know for a fact, the red one is the more mellow one the green one is the spicy one. So I will take the meal home and add sour cream to it cause I'm really hungry. My wife and I will not be coming back to the food was not up to our standards.

I followed the advice of one of the elite Yelpers and visited this new establishment and actually I was not disappointed. I ordered a Lengua burrito with beans rice and cheese. We also ordered a mulita de Birria. They were both great. The prices at this restaurant are lower than most of its kind.The interior was colorful with plenty of chairs and tables to sit down enjoy your meal. The service was courteous and friendly. We will be coming back. There's plenty of parking the handicap stalls are at the front entrance.

Was hoping for a good experience given the positive reviews, but disappointed. TL;DR - expensive tacos, small portions, and pastor had the taste of meat going bad.First off, there's a credit card fee in addition or the obvious tax. Portions were half the amount or less compared to the norm. Birria tacos with cheese is $4 each. Besides the meats being dry and under seasoned, the tortillas were also hard and stale.What was most alarming was the pastor having that sour/rancid taste that you'd typically get with pork that's been sitting out for too long. One bite was all I was willing to risk.Disappointed and not off to a good start. The mariscos place that existed before was far better.
