This hole-in-the-wall Mexican eatery delivers bold, often outstanding flavors—standouts include guacamole, Spanish rice, salsa verde, jalapeño poppers, barbacoa and whole grilled chicken—paired with Mexican Coca‑Cola and horchata. The atmosphere is laid-back and lively, with staff who can be warm and personable. However, consistency and speed vary: some guests report slow service, small salsa portions and occasional dry or bland meats. Great for adventurous, value-minded diners and regulars seeking authentic, spicy fare, but expect intermittent quality and limited customization.
This was my first time visiting this restaurant! To be honest, the tacos didn't quite match my expectations in terms of flavor. The meat was rather bland and lacked seasoning, and the tacos ended up soggy from soaking in juice, which was unappealing. Overall, they were somewhat edible, so at least I didn’t completely waste my money. However, I really enjoyed the Spanish rice—it was well-seasoned, not dry or sticky, and very tasty! The salsa verde was also quite good! Unfortunately, I probably won’t be ordering again unless I want to try something completely different. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, and the service was nice!
The food is excellent, and the service is impeccable. The staff is very friendly and can answer any questions you have about the menu.
The charbroiled chicken here is truly exceptional. The Birria tacos are absolutely delightful; you can't go wrong with them. The pastor was a bit on the dry side, but the legendary seasoning paired wonderfully with the verde salsa. The bacon-wrapped jalapeños are a must-try. The spicy tlaque sauce adds a delicious kick to the huge baked potatoes. Overall, the menu offers a fantastic variety of really tasty options.
I stopped in here today for lunch with a friend. We were greeted when we walked in and the service was very informative, personable and attentive. The food was good (the guacamole was amazing), and we left full and happy we stopped in for lunch!10/10 would recommend. 3 out of 5 stars. Wouldn't change a thing.
This was our first time eating here. I am so happy that we decided to eat here today! The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. My wife had the charbroiled chicken which was delicious! My son had one of their tortas. It was amazing andhuge! I had the Quesabirria con Consome which is what the picture is of. This was absolutely fantastic!! It's my new favoritedish. The meat was tender, the cheese fantastic, and the consome with the homemade salsa and cilantro was outstanding!!! Wewill definitely be back!
