I enjoyed a combination of fried pork skin and pork in green sauce (chili verde?), and both were tender and delicious. My husband tried the super burrito and said it’s far better than the one from across the street. We will definitely be coming back!

If you're passing through, you must stop and dine here. We were at the Tesla charging station on our way back to Los Angeles from Stanford when we stumbled upon it. Did I mention they’re open 24 hours? Incredible! The customer service was outstanding as well—wonderful staff and delicious food! And yes, they do serve alcohol too!

So glad we did. Food was great. We had breakfast burritos. How much flavor can a breakfast burrito have? It 's just basic right? Not here. So much flavor it didn 't even need salsa! Looks like everything is made right here from scratch. Very authentic. The service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be by again next time we are passing thru. The only negative I could come up with is there was no salsa bar, but I 'm sure if I had asked they would have been happy to get some. If you are passing by, stop in for a taste of great authentic Mexican food. ?

Telling a customer that they can't have the birria tacos because it "takes too long" is simply unacceptable. As for the tacos, they were poorly made and very disappointing—there was no flavor at all in the meat. The salsa was spicy but lacked any real taste. Also, the tables were dirty. I only came here because I was craving tacos after a trip to the coast, and my sister recommended it. But trust me, save yourself the disappointment and spend your money elsewhere. You’d be better off going to Taco Bell!
