"Longer review: I had the regular tacos, reminiscent of a street taco stand. The first round featured tripe that was crispy and bursting with flavor! The carnitas were both tender and juicy, and I added even more salsa from their incredible chips and salsa bar. The asada was just perfect, and the highlight was the Chili Colorado – simply spectacular! I couldn’t resist going back for more and decided to try the pastor. They chopped the pastor finer than I've had before, and with the marinade they used, it was outstanding. Another win! Each taco was so generous that I ended up creating a plate of nachos with all the leftover meat! The kids can be quite picky, but they enjoyed some simple quesadillas. Then, with a little bribery, they got some of my taco meat and were rewarded with one of the most beautiful churros I've ever seen. For the first time all day, they sat in silence, completely enchanted by the churro! It was truly a delightful moment. The place was bustling with familiar faces; at least a third of the tables greeted regular customers by name. The staff checked in on us frequently, ensuring we had a great experience. We can’t wait to return! Thank you for a wonderful meal! Highly recommend it!"

Great selection of food. One of the best Mexican restaurants I have had in the area. They have a great outdoor sitting area as well. Service was great, definitely recommend trying it if you have not.

It’s hard to say if the restaurant is under new ownership, but it doesn't seem as good as I remember. The food was just okay, but the service was excellent. Here’s my rating: Food: 2, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 4.

After a long day working on a reconstruction project, we found ourselves in need of a late-night meal. We ordered way too much food and drink, but it was worth it! The dinner we had was fantastic—great food and the best service we've experienced. We ended up enjoying the leftovers for two days afterward. If you’re looking for a place to eat, don't hesitate to give this restaurant a try. Great job!

I really enjoy this restaurant. It's authentic and features a spice bar with a variety of tasty options to enhance your meal. They offer salsas, paprika, and my personal favorite—marinated spicy onions. I ordered the large shrimp enchilada with green sauce, which comes with sour cream, guacamole, rice, and beans. It was all excellent, and when I added the spicy onions from the bar, it took my dish to another level. So delicious! View menu

I ordered a burrito with extra pico de gallo and a vegetarian tostada. Unfortunately, the burrito was unappetizing, featuring chicken that tasted old, and the lettuce on the tostada was so soggy that water was pooling in the container. To make matters worse, the guacamole was missing. While the atmosphere is fun and clean, the food simply doesn't live up to expectations and is overpriced. I spent $26 plus tip, only to end up throwing most of it away. Meal type: Lunch.

Everyone said it was the best Mexican food. And although the place was clean and had a large menu and many salsas, and a great taste my experience was not very good. I ordered the chili verde wet burrito and got all tortilla, beans and rice with very little meat. Half of the Burritos had no meat and the second half had very little meat. That basically paid 14 bucks for a bunch of rice and beans. Well, I gave this place a second attempt and got the chili verde plate and it was very good. They could still have a little more meat, but it was enough for me, a burnt eater, but maybe a big eater would want more?
