Description

A beloved local rotisserie and taqueria delivers authentic Mexican flavors and crowd-pleasing staples: juicy, flavorful rotisserie and grilled chicken, excellent wings and burgers, standout tacos and frijoles charros. Friendly staff and steady crowds point to consistent quality, with catering, takeout and dine-in options and free alley parking. A few patrons note occasional early closing, sporadic quality lapses and pricing concerns, but many remain loyal and recommend it for family parties and everyday meals.

Everything here is fantastic! I order catering every year for my daughter's birthday party, and I've dined in and done takeout more times than I can count. The wings are excellent, the burgers are delicious, and their grilled chicken is simply the best—I won’t buy grilled chicken from anywhere else. I've never had any problems here, and I will remain a loyal customer of this local gem. If I could, I would give it 10 stars!

This is not your typical dry rotisserie; the chicken here is juicy and incredibly flavorful. I just wish they offered some high-quality mole to pair with it. As for parking, it’s a bonus—there's free parking available! You can access the restaurant through the alley.

Just left. From here Never again, they charged like $5 each gorditas, and this is how they make them no meat . On top of that, the meat was all burned. it looks like it was left over that had been sitting there. I do not recommend this place at allFood: 1/5
