Went there for dinner on Wednesday at 6PM. It was closed, and there was brown paper covering the windows.

Great authentic Mexican food. Staff members are very helpful

These are the best tacos! Can’t speak highly enough of this small family owned business

Two years & never went back. The lone guy trolling the bar was the Hostess/Bar Tender/Server's attention.We had to wait for her to wait on us, then wait for our orders that were up but not delivered. The food was the same quality as Jack In The Box at 03:30 AM in the 70's !Great Mexican go to Rivira Maya, worth the trip !

Not as good as they used to be in the beginning or when they were a Taco Truck.The Taco Truck at Vladislav Liquors is way better plus they have Tamales & Churros

Very disappointing. First off, google maps takes you to the middle of nowhere so if you plan to come you should put in the food lion for navigation instead. The person who took my order wasn't very pleasant on the phone neither, and hung up on me even though I had one more question. When I went to pick up my order, the restaurant was completely empty, not even a cashier was present. The person who handed me my order and rang it up had no mask on at all. Not even a mask below her nose, or neck, just straight up no mask.The tacos themselves were very disappointing as well. I ordered 4 different ones to try, and they were all very bland and tasted underseasoned or something. The meat was also dry. They didn't even give any sauces to salvage the taste or dryness, just two wedges of lime. Some places give a side of onion or pepper, but here I got nothing extra, so $2.50 per taco is not even that cheap. I was starving, so my standards were exceptionally low, but this place couldn't even meet any of them...

Decent food but seeing that most orders are take out right now(Covid) please please please consider finding someone else to take the phone orders the unenthusiastic teen doing it(I’ve dealt with twice now) is one of the biggest patience challenges I’ve encountered in awhile.

I eat here entirely too often lol their food is so good and you can’t beat the prices. They know my order when they see me at this point. The service is great as well!

Got the Torta and the beef was tender and perfect! Everything meshed together amazingly, bread was fresh!

Some improvements could be made, but overall we had a great time. Stopped for dinner after running errands in the area and they had a few tables sitting down but overall not busy. Definitely seems like a higher volume take out place especially when we got asked if we were doing takeout first before being welcomed to sit wherever we liked. They had a Mariachi trio there that definitely livened up the atmosphere and our toddler very much enjoyed. About half the tables also had a baby or toddler and maybe older kids so the family vibe was nice for a Saturday evening place where we could also enjoy an adult beverage. My margarita was great (NOT having a fake sour mix taste was a welcome relief) and our ceviche and grilled cactus apps were good too. As the ceviche is cooked that may appeal to some more than raw ceviche that I prefer the taste to, but will generally only eat after I've been somewhere a few times. The torta sandwich was good, although the softer pancake like bread was a surprise, toasting the other half at home to firm it up greatly improved it. Got a variety of tacos that were good but not great and my toddler loved the quesadilla. Overall food could have been spiced more (not just heat, but savory spices too), but I get that keeping it bland and supplying the hot sauces probably allows for catering to a wider customer audience more easily. The orange hot sauce was our favorite, but the mild green and red hot sauces were both good too. Guac needed more lime, spices, and optionally heat, the complimentary salsa was good as is. Some parts of the service were great, some parts could have been faster, but overall no real complaints. I could definitely see us coming back to try other dishes.

Great Value ! I had the mixed fajitas, they were very good and the portion size was good. there were some things they could have done better: 1. in the fajita mix, they could have included tomatoes 2. their salsa in the chips and salsa needs some work 3. they only have pink packets for artificial sweetener. they need blue and/or yellow.
