I drive over 10 miles to this taco shop. Yes there is one by my house although the food here is 4 stars above the one close to me, worth the drive.

Their tostadas are BOMB. I had to order an extra side of their refried beans to dip my taco into. So yummy.

First of all, they got my order wrong. Second, the food totally sucked. What's non edible? I got to go so I was home before I look at my order. And it would cost me more in gas than what the s***** food did. So my order went straight to the trash. Even the dogs wouldn't need it.

Delicious tacos, enchiladas, and tostada! The hard taco shells were maybe fried a bit too long, but the shredded beef was great and the toppings were generous. Excellent beans as well, and the salsa bar was a nice bonus.

Go-to spot for lunch before grocery shopping for our family. The prices definitely match the amount of food you get. The flavors are delicious in all plates I've tried, and the generous salsa and condiments station, and aguas frescas are the best. It's always packed at lunch in the middle of the week and the flavor and hospitality are definitely the reason. Great staff on top of orders whether it's dine in, take out, or ordered ahead of time. Authentic flavors hands downParking: Parking can be a bit packed but we've always found a spot.Kid-friendliness: High chairs and small meals menu to accommodate smaller appetites. Staff always extra friendly to kids

I love this place! Unfortunately, they do not have chille rellenos anymore which makes me sad, but other than that, food is great and reasonably priced.

I do not normally leave reviews. But this food establishment merits one. The food is 100% authentic Mexican food. The jamaica and horchata taste amazingly great and are refillable! Guacamole and sour cream was plenty! Condiments give the food the extra kick.Will definitely recommend to friends and family. And will surely come back again. I am only disappointed I did not know about this establishment for this long.

Shredded beef tacos are really big slices of prime rib, or so it seemed. Delicious!

I had ordered an enchilada, tacos, tostadas and the meat and sauces had no spices. My wife had the nachos, the cheese and meat did not have taste. I will not be coming back here again.

Great service and good tacos. The taco shop is clean, and it is a great place for lunch they are fast.

Great aesthetics, but $8.95 for some beans, cheese and a tortilla is just crazy?never walked out of a place so fast
