“The burrito I got was amazing and very quickly made with very fresh ingredients that I was blessed to pick out myself. My girlfriend got chicken tacos that I also tried and they were just as good. It's authentic! This is not like a chain restaurant.Parking: Very limited parking on the street near there. We got very lucky that day though.“
“I've eaten here several times, and the food is always excellent. Most recently, we dined in on a Monday, which is their burger special night. We just happened to hit happy hour as well, so I was expecting a bigger bill. So, I just put a little more in their tip.Burgers are great, drinks are cold, service is wonderful. I substitute the potatoe salad for French fries, and it's really good.I would recommend this place 11 times out of 10 over that 5 Guys place, especially on a Monday. Their burgers are way better! And you can even have an adult beverage with it!Anyone traveling along I-80 should stop here for a burger. Especially if it's a Monday.Parking: There is plenty of parking, but there isn't really a place for truckers trucks hauling/pulling a trailer. So that kind of sucks.“
“Delicious food with a lot of variety. Polite, professional and friendly staff. Very clean restrooms. Reasonably priced. Now besides all that they went out of their way and helped me out . God bless these people and I wish them all the success and will definitely come back when I come back to town.“
“Place looks a little sketchy on the outside but it's a very small, 4 table restaurant/mini market, but don't let that scare you from trying this hole in the wall. Food was good, the torta was filled w meat/veggies to balance out the warm bread. Taco was good and the tripe was crispy and not too oily. Definitely authentic Mexican food and the hot sauces had a nice amount of heat. Service was quick & our waitress was friendly. We would be back to try other items on their menu.“
“Food was really tasty, guacamole was fresh and pollo Veracruz was delicious. Every plate on the table had great reviews. The the Mexican fajitas were plenty and super yummy. My advice would be order a double margarita.. Our server was friendly and attentive.“
“I have literally never had a bad experience here. The food is always delicious and you can tell they love what they make. I usually take food to go, but when I dine in the servers are always extremely nice and easy to talk to! It has a very homey and comfortable atmosphere and it's a nice place to have dinner with friends and family.“
“Very nice and clean space. Bright colors and murals share a love of culture. Server was very nice and answered my questions about the tortillas. I had the Birria soup. There was so much I had to get a to-go cup. I feel like I want to try everything on their menu. Prices were good as well.“
“The barbacoa tacos were excellent street corn also amazing. I ordered ceveche which didn’t have any avocado or tomatoes just cilantro and onion kinda disappointing considering the price of the dish but I’ll be back for the tacos fer sure!“

“Greeted at the door as soon as we walked in. We were seated right away, server was very efficient. Chips and salsa came right away along with the drinks. 5 minutes after we ordered our food was at the table. I had the spicy chicken burrito, friend had the spicy steak. The food was very Fresh, hot and very tasty. Restaurant was clean, it was great. We just moved to the are and live close to this restaurant. We will definitely be back. It was well worth the money and visit. Prices are very good as well!!! Thank you“
