Authentic! Im sorry but all other “mexican” food trucks/joints in the area are tex mex. Im mexican and i can tell you this is the only spot that makes real mexican food. I have tried all spots in the area and It just baffles me to see them claim to be mexican. I recommend their mole de olla (caldo de res). Their tacos are amazing and the cemitas as well! Try the huitlacoche quesadillas and thank me later!

So sad to say I’m no longer ordering from here. The chicarrón that came in our food smelled and tasted rancid.

Very nice customer service and flavors were good. Just not enjoying that I asked for a specific item and got substituted something else without being asked. Will return though. I Do recommend you try it if you are in the area. Portion sizes are good and they are very kind. Salsa makes you want a straw to drink it. Don’t forget to tip.Parking: Gated and free. Don’t abuse it and don’t leave trash and be nice to the staff. They are very nice.

I ordered delivery for my family and half our order was missing. I called to get it replaced or my money back, the lady told me i was a liar because they are honest people and they sent my food. I calmly told her I dont know her and don't know if she is an honest person or not but I just want the food I paid for and didn't receive.She then got very unprofessional and started yelling at me and hung up. I have never been treated this way by a restaurant. I have been a restaurant owner and in the industry for 15 years and would be appalled if one of my employees did this. Do yourself a favor and go to a restaurant that can treat a guest with respect.

This has been my second time ordering food from this restaurant. It's a small establishment but the food is pretty great!

Ate the tacos with a side of rice and beans. The taste was excellent and the meats were perfectly moist. I loved the Cucumber drink. It has limited seating.
