If you're in search of delicious tacos al pastor or a fantastic burrito, this is definitely the spot. While the menu is small, don’t let that put you off. It’s a clean and cozy place located behind a car wash in Mattawan. The staff is genuinely friendly, and we often call ahead for takeout. You really shouldn't miss out on this gem!

My first impression was a bit uncertain since the restaurant is located behind a car wash, but don’t let that deter you from stopping by. The place is clean, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Although it’s a little small, the menu is packed with delicious choices, and since they’re brand new, I'm sure it will expand over time. If you enjoy authentic Mexican tacos—like those with corn tortillas, steak, cilantro, lime, and onion—this is your spot! It's more of a casual café vibe rather than a full sit-down restaurant, but it's very clean and perfect for a lunch break. Please support them and check it out! They offer tortas, rice, burritos, and more. The only downside is the parking situation and the signage, but being a new establishment, I believe they are working on improving both.
