If you guys aren't eating here you're missing out. This is a restaurant that needs you in it. The food is wonderful and the guacamole is the best. They say that you can always tell when the food is good when English is not the spoken language in the door. These guys are for real deal, they were a great truck and now an even better brick and mortar.if Mexican food is your craving go baby go.

We were so excited to try this place and was really dissatisfied. Worst customer service our waitress was so rude and and didn’t even bring cups for salsa and when asked she was like well how many did you need. Food was horrible and it took forever and we were the only ones in there. Please eat anywhere else. Negative 50 stars!

I normally eat here but after tonight I dought very seriously if I will again my order wasn't right and I called. The girl that answered didn't speak English and she put a guy on that ask " what do you want" I explained and he said you order from here I'm like yes. Yesterday we went and ordered the egg rolls brrias no cheese in them they were fried in old grease. I'll be going sat for my money back. I waited 35 min my fish was dried out no taste no rice or beans or avocados I want my money back

Went to the 2nd location on ambassador. All of the food was fantastic. Salsa was very fresh. Chorizo queso was good. We got Al Pastor & beef barbacoa tacos and these were good and had a lot of meat. The star of the night was the birria pizza. The pizza is only 8 slices, but it is HUGE. completely filled with meat. No one at the table could eat more than 2 slices. It was fantastic !

Poor service Will not be back. Got order completely wrong. The goatee could not understand English

Wow! Can’t begin to say enough good things about the authentic, flavorful, delicious food here. These tacos were on point and better than most I’ve had here in the USA. I will be back, and I’m bringing people! Shout out to Francesca for offering up great suggestions, for me and to the table next to me. 6 ⭐️

Get this out of the way- the salsa is very weak. No spice at all. But…..the taco sauce they bring to the table makes up for it. The green salsa was amazing and had a nice kick. I order the gorditas and an extra taco because I figured the gorditas wouldn’t be that filling. I was wrong about that. Ordered mine with carne asada and the flavor was perfect. My taco was the Campenchano which had the asada, pastor, potatoes, onions and nopales (cactus). The ingredients were overflowing. Not only great for Lafayette, but this would stand up to any Texas spot. If the chips and salsa were better it would be a perfect meal.

Loved the food. Even the chips and salsa was good. It does look like of like a dive from the front. We will be going back. House margarita wasn't from a mix.Vegetarian options: Plenty of fish, shrimp, veggie options.

I went there last night at 5:30 pm. There were no others customers in the restaurant. The waitress was sitting at a booth playing on her phone. No problem since it was empty. The problem was she had to clear tables before waiting on us. She sat us at a table which had something on it. I asked her to bring a towel. She walked in the back and we sat for several minutes before getting up and walking out. This was our 2nd time going. The 1st time was great. I don't understand the work ethic of today's young.
