It was so delicious: tons of perfectly cooked shrimp and veggies. I will definitely get that again. The potatoes with the black beans and cheese on top were soooo yummy!! The Natural with Heradura Resposado was perfect too!! We will always come back for such a good time and great food and drink!!“

“The Jamaica was natural,you could taste that it was not made from powder. The huitlache quesadilla was huge and very good and flavorful. You would only find this one at an an authentic Mexican restaurant. We also had their caldo de pescado. Well balanced flavor and portion. The tacos are good as well. And last but not least the handmade tortillas. They enhance all the dishes they're used in. Thank you guys and keep it up“

“Pork Screw City Taco is awesome, the chicken and steak was pretty lackluster. Service was pretty decent but not as I've come to expect after visiting their truck multiple times. Needed some tables cleaned off but it was just a bit after lunch time so maybe they were really busy.Parking: difficult to find parking but that's a downtown problem“

The cicina, pastor, chilaquiles verde have all been *chefs kiss*. Really enjoy this place. Highly recommend.Edit: the roasted salsa they served with the chips was SO refreshing and light and delicious.“

“By far my favorite restaurant in the food court(best Mexican in the surrounding are). Not only is the food excellent but the owners/workers go out of their way to make you feel like family. If you’re ever at the mall please go say hello to Alex and support a local business(opposed to all the chains). I promise you will not regret it!“
