Went here earlier and got some steak tacos and my mom got some pork tacos. The people that helped us were very nice. First time I brought my mom here. She said the food has lots of flavor and she liked it a lot. Just wanted to say thank you!

This is a nice place to get fast, affordable, and tasty Mexican food. It’s been great quality every time I’ve visited. I’m not sure where some of these negative reviews came from. That has never been my experience. The food and service has always been good- including from the young girls who help. I also really like that they were able to expand the dine-in area. I will definitely be back!

Outstanding food! A unique culinary experience. Carefully prepared and as far as I can tell with quality ingredients. And don't be fooled by the neighborhood and humble appearance. The inside is very clean and well-decorated. Although it appears their focus is desserts and snacks, if it's time for dinner the portion sizes for their meals are generous and filling. Their hot green salsa was the best part. I got today's special and, although the price point is about what one would expect relative to the quantity of food, the portion is enormous. Tasty leftovers for the next couple days as well as today. I don't understand the bad reviews because they were welcoming and offered a lot of info about the food as I ordered. This is the sort of family-owned business we need to see more of.

I really wanted to give this place more stars, because their horchata was pretty darn good. The elote tasted and looked like canned corn. I haven't had much elote, but from my experience it's better on the cobb and I had different seasoning. (Both, my wife ordered) My dish had a lot of cilantro on it, I guess it's not what I was expecting. In their defense it also had what was probably over a pound of chicken? I couldn't really taste the chicken, but it looked good. I will not let one bad experience deter me from going back to improve and update my review, but again... I'm not sure what to expect. I did try to power my way to the bottom, and I do know that the lady would have corrected any issues I had with the food, so don't let my 3 stars deter you. Just be specific with your orders and I think, (from other people's reviews) that the food will be good. And by the way. Bring cash for a tip... I left mine on the card... wish I had cash because it would have been nice to tip that little girl who was helping out.

HORRIBLE customer service! Every bad review I have read is accurate. The reason they don’t complain in person is because the customer service is so bad. ? I don’t appreciate dirty looks and a bad attitude. A few reviews below someone complained of a bad torta. And the owner reply is along the lines of “well you ate the whole thing” . ? another review talks about the bad customer service and it’s accurate. To top it off the food here taste old. I’ve had plenty of corn on the cob and this was by far the most crunchy over cooked old corn I’ve had. The food is no better.
