“The best Birria my son's ever had- and he's eaten a lot of Birria- and we are from SoCal, land of tacos. I tried the zucchini, the chicken and carnitas tacos "al todos" with everything on them. So delicious! The green salsa is limey and refreshing. 2 tables inside, but lots of seating outside when the weather is warm. Craving tacos? Get them here. SO GOOD!“
“Ok so to start, it’s not a traditional taco compared to what you’re used to. Once you get over that you can enjoy the beautiful flavours of whoever makes these tacos back there. I tried the curry chicken and chose my 5-6 toppings. Wait ~10-15 mins because it’s clearly not just being heated in a microwave, but made fresh. You also choose a side of sauce, & I love the mango sauce. Cost me around $7. It was nothing but delicious & I’ll keep returning! Maybe I’ll try the jerk chicken next time.“

“Mouth-watering and thoughtful menu with creative, nuanced and seasonal inspirations for both food and beverage options. I was very impressed by the shishito peppers, general tso’s chicken bites, french dip and the espresso martini. The apps were perfectly battered, crispy and flavorful. The French dip just hit so right- tender meat, savory au jus, warm, perfectly toasted bread. The fries were perfect- exactly what you’d imagine if you are craving fries! And the highlight of our entire night was our bartender Halsey. Her genuine care in curating our experience cannot be matched. She made great suggestions, interjected with playful humor, read when our group wanted time to chat amongst ourselves, and made a PHENOMENAL cocktail. I mean, the most serious espresso martini anyone could hope for without the overstated hipster flair. 10/10. Would go back just for her. Watching her interact with her other bar guests was also a treat- it’s easy to see how she can command the room & keeps a mighty fine bar! Will certainly be back!“
“Very good customer service. We did not dine in but we waited inside for food. I was able to ask question of the young cashier and she was able to understand my questions and make recommendations on food. I even tried this condensed milk drink I saw other customers having. It was great. We will be back.“
“This is a hidden little restaurant in albany. You go past the convenience store section and the restaurant is in the back. The service was good as there are not many tables, you get lots of attention, and they have an extensive menu. They have many different types of tacos, enchiladas, tortas, and many other Mexican specialties. They have a wide selection of Mexican sodas and horchata. Three tacos come in an order and two orders are more than enough for one person.Vegetarian options: There is a large vegetarian selection.Parking: Only street parking is available and as it is a busy area it may be limited.Kid-friendliness: Great for the whole family.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant does not appear to be wheelchair accessible. The aisles are too narrow to navigate.“
“I love this restaurant! We had the mesquite chicken tacos and the beef lengua tacos. The tacos were authentic and so tasty that we ordered seconds! There is also a small Mexican market attached to the restaurant that sells food, bags, and other household items. We will definitely be back for more!“
“10/10 I initially thought the tacos were over proced while looking at the menu, but I stand corrected. They were worth every red cent and I can not wait to go back. I had both a steak and chicken taco, my only regret is not trying more flavors!“
