First time eating here and the food we ordered was good but there’s definitely room for improvement. First off, the cóctel de camarón (shrimp cocktail) was so full of flavor and the perfect amount of spice with the added bits of jalapeño and loads of shrimp, avocado, tomato, etc.Next was the filete de pescado plate (fish fillet) that my husband ordered along with a chicken burrito (besides the fact that there was not enough meat in the burrito and it was packed with rice and beans, it was good). The fish plate itself was good but we’ve made better at home so I’ll leave it there.Next, the caldo de res (beef soup) with veggies, potato and beef- now that was honestly the highlight of the meal. The flavor was so well put together and the meat was tender and just added lime and it was perfect! Would def order this again!Next was the sopes de al pastor and carne asada. The sopes themselves were good and I highly recommend those. They held up pretty well and didn’t fall apart while holding and the meat was flavored well.The tostada de ceviche was my final part of the meal and although it was cooked , the flavor just was not there. It wasn’t like it didn’t have enough, there was a lot of shrimp but it tasted like it wasn’t sitting in the flavor juices long enough if that makes sense.All across the board- this place is a definite 8 out of 10. The food and presentation was good- it’s not very noticeable from the street and I only found it through google maps but I will definitely be coming back to try other items on their menu. ??

I went in with my family today for their first time and they loved it! I had came here before with my girlfriend and loved the food. I came back with my server Ana and it was great as last time! She’s always on top of our table and making sure we’re well taken care of. This location is my favorite!

The food is O. K but not really worth the price. It was. a little more than what I expected. They didn't have shredded white meat chicken they only had grilled chicken / cubbed chicken meat for their meals. The salsa did have flavor but not a spicy flavor very similar to thier pickled chillies it had flavor but just not spicy flavor like I'm used to. My wife ate their fried tacos plate but she mentioned that the tacos shells were pre fried not like she is accustomed to. She much prefers her taco shells to be freshly fried. I was surprised being that everyone mainly spoke Spanish. Maybe it's "Mexican" food but really from Central America? I don't know it didn't taste like Mexican food that I'm used to.

The Carne Asada tacos are really good. The tortillas are crisp and the meat is always tender and juicy. I always order 2 tacos and end up wanting more. But my diet prohibits it. It's family owned and the owner is the Chef so you know he puts his heart into the food. They have "caldo de res"(beef stew/hearty beef soup) that is sooo good they serve with tortillas. Cilantro,oregano,onions and salsa picante on the side. Outdoor eating area. You can eat on a rainy day, except if it's really poring and windy. Recommend it as early as 6 am for food for work or weekend with the family. 5☆s for me.
