excellent service, delicious food and very affordable prices

Cold nasty chicken tacos. Diluted salsa and cold thick taco shells broken up as tacos.A hatefully rude waitress. I won't be back. A poor excuse for a Peoria Mexican Restaurant.

Tacos were good but it was literally $3.75 per taco. These were essentially street tacos. We spent $30 on food before tip and we were still hungry. I couldn't find a menu online so I wasn't sure what to expect, but just know you'll be paying a pretty penny to get tacos from here

ordered a steak burrito online, pick up time was fast, unfortunately burrito was Luke warm at best, mostly cold, asked for guacamole, got 2 slices of avocado instead, no utensils in bag, no salsa of any kind, and it really wasn't that great of a burrito. especially considering it was 17 bucks for a burrito and 2 sodas. One and done for me, won't be back and don't recommend this place to anyone.

Very nice people. They have slot machines as well as some wonderfully priced food items. Great place that everyone should try because you would definitely be back.

I asked for a taco dinner and kept being told about taco Tuesday hamburger special. When I want that I’ll go to Taco Bell. No Dos Equis. Had to ask for everything from hot sauce to silverware. Got handed a plastic fork. Not offered red/green hot sauce. Just given verde . No flavor at all. Never once approached again to ask if I needed anything. Not even another beer. Was charged $4 for a little to go styrofoam container that was used to fit both rice and beans. A small spoonful of each. $2/each. Tasteless “Mexican” food. Horrible service. Will recommend NOT dining here.

Used my Sweet deals gift certificate. They tried to say dine-in only. However that is not printed on the certificate. Only tried to use 1 so I was good on that part. They did accept the certificate BONUS! Our order came to $50. Most of the food was very good except for the Beans. Like what in the holy vinegar was that.

This is the WORST restaurant I have EVER been to. I’m new to the area and DoorDash for work. I would like to say I understand things happen and sometimes things might not be ready. However customer service should NEVER lack. I walked in NOONE greets me. I stand waiting for an employee to show up. After about 3 minutes someone appeared in the kitchen window I said “hi I’m here to pick up a DoorDash order” she just says “I just got it it, it’s going to be a minute”. Like I said, this happens from time to time but usually I’m given an estimate of how long it’s going to take. After her awkwardly looking at me, I just ask- “so how long do you think” she tells me 10 minutes. So I go out to my car to wait- I actually waited 12-13 minutes before I went back into the store. Once I came back into the store I sat an additional 10 minutes waiting for the order. The server had her belly button out- just completely unprofessional in my opinion. The cook was vaping in the back, which WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC. WHERE IS YOUR MASK??! No one in the entire store had a mask on employee wise. And WHYYY are you vaping in the KITCHEN where you prepare FOOD??! I eventually see what I assume to be my order come up- instead of getting my order together, they proceed to run food that was ordered AFTER my customers order was even placed. They shoved all of my customers food in the bag which caused boxes to crunch and food to spill out. I’m honestly so disappointed in the service they provided today.

i ordered carne asada tacos and a chicken quesadilla. bad quality, cold. dirty/ smelly/ outdated restaurant. smells like old soda or standing water by the gaming machines. also, the owner is a RUDE and a bad neighbor. why do you need neon lights on 24 hours a day? the most positive thing that i can say about this establishment is that the women employees are very hospitable and polite. doesnt make up for the other stuff, though.

Was in Peoria and decided to eat lunch somewhere. Stopped in and ordered 2 tacos al pastor. It was to go. Came with sauces, lime wedges, cilantro, and onions. It was excellent. Those tacos hit the spot! I definitely recommend these tacos. I will be coming back.

DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO NOONE! AWFUL WITH 5 STARS. I’m pretty dang sure I got food poisoning from the sour cream… Threw up soon as I got in my truck and left. So cheap with everything… chips stale, salsa room temperature. Beans and rice tasted scorched and awful. Ordered the steak n chicken fajitas, more like pork n chicken?

Wendy Everett

Their food was Awful, no taste nothing but cheese, stale chips served to you, Salsa was room temperature and after the waitress asked me, How was it, when I told her she immediately got an attitude.You don’t have to pay have a good day
