We tried it for the first time today. It's cafeteria style, the menu is kind of confusing. The people were friendly. The food is very different. We love charro beans and ordered some. They would've been delicious except they were SO spicy that neither of us could eat them. They will light you up! They have a self-serve bar with shredded cabbage, pico, lettuce, some sauces, etc. An orange sauce we tried was also super hot! We both love spicy food but some of theirs was unbearable. We also missed the typical chips and picante sauce with our meal.

Friendly service and GREAT food!! Their breakfast tacos are the best, and I also love their chorizo burritos. Their barbacoa tacos, quesadillas, and green avocado salsa are the BOMB for lunch! They’ll be moving from their Walnut location to the Firewheel Mall area soon and I’ll follow them over there too!!!

The joint is right beside my house and I had been there many times. The food is ok but if the short mexican guy with a mustache serves you at the register then you are out of luck. He behaves as if he is doing you a favor by letting you buy food here.He also gives you very limited amount of sauce, sometimes no sauce with your order and when you ask for it he will charge you extra. Horrible behavior.

The food is good, and they recognize us, so the service is good as well. Nice home style Mexican food at a fair price. Portions are good as well. If my kids will eat it, then it is definitely a win as they are THE MOST picky eaters i have ever come across.... And to think, i thought i was picky. Waiting on them to announce the official moving date, as they may end up closer to me. Give it a try

The combo plate is great. I would have gave 5 stars if it wasn’t so hot in there.

My husband mostly comes here for the menudo, too bad sometimes it's not even half of day and it's already gone, I like the fajita plate, last weekend my husband got me a plate with two gorditas barely had any meet so for the price I was hoping to see more In there it was like half of taco on each gorditas plus the Salad, rice and beans, prices are going up yes but not just here so I'm not complaining about that but about the little amount of meet on the plates. My fajita taco plate was ok and my kid like it.

U can't judge a book by its cover. This saying is applicable to this restaurant. The place & facade might not look the best & favorable to people, but the quality of food & service are deemed more impt to customers like me. Heard mgtm planning to move the restaurant in a higher classy place - pls don't leave ur current neighborhood who aligns w ur heritage, just because... cherish ur own people around who patronize & support u! My neighbors - let's request for the store to stay in our neighborhood & not be enticed by hypocrisy. It is who we are that boost our self identity & people. Gracias.

If I could 0 stars I would. Most of the reviews were good so I was like let's try it. BIG MISTAKE! $40 for nachos, a burrito, 3 tacos and 3 soft drinks. Over priced but that's not all. Many health code violations. Flies were everywhere, nails sticking out of the walls, staff was not wearing gloves or hairnets. Food tasted like dog food. Beans were watery, chips were stale, and meat was over cooked. The best part of the meal was soft drinks. So disappointing.

Hugo Took very good care of our family, especially after Chow Now screwed up everything! Hugo was more than happy to accommodate our celebration dinner! If I could give him 10 stars I would give him 10 stars very satisfied customer!

This was my first time eating here, but will not be the last! The was really filling and delicious?
First off I asked for grilled onions and they chopped them up so big it didn't make sense I had to pull them out. Once I got half way through the burrito yea a piece of a roach was in there !!!!!!

Came on a Saturday for some menudo. Comes in two sizes- small and large. Small seems to be about 16oz, and the flavor was good, but was missing hominy which was a huuuge let-down for us. It also took quite a while to receive it after ordering it at the drive through. I ordered mine with flour tortillas which was a mistake, because they had a sour aroma similar to store-bought Mission-brand tortillas. They were probably reheated with some butter, but it was unpleasant and disappointing overall.

The food Is great but service is horrible most days. The older short man acts like it's an inconvenience to order food or get my food like I like and not like he wants me to order. I love my fellow Mexican joints but service is not a trait we have and value. This is a restaurant I ask for food and you serve me. If we all stopped coming then there would be no imployment for them and that's where they fail to understand why service is so important! Do better!

Tacos were fantastic, they have tripita so its a plus. Not sure about their other food.

Food was absolutely horrible and salty. They also forgot my drink when the driver returned they didnt have what I ordered, so they just gave me any flavor of Jibarrito. (BTW I hate the orange flavored one) Just poor customer service overall! Was one of my favorite places at one time but quality and service have declined. Not recommended.
