The owner/server welcomed us with a basket of warm, crispy tortilla chips accompanied by an excellent salsa—a definite 5 stars. The salsa was made from puréed tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, and jalapeño, delivering fantastic flavor with just a hint of spice. As for the tacos, they were quite good. I ordered the three-taco dinner with two steak tacos and one shrimp taco, served with delicious rice and beans. My wife chose the three al pastor tacos, also served with rice and beans. I found the al pastor tacos to be even better than the steak ones, which is saying a lot. The tacos exceeded my expectations, and I particularly enjoyed the seasoning of the rice—though I might have just been r...

I visited this restaurant and was impressed with the customer service; it was excellent. I ordered a steak taco salad. While the meat had good flavor, there was something off about the taste. I've eaten plenty of authentic Mexican food, but I've never encountered anything like this. As I was eating, I noticed that 2 or 3 forks in the dish tasted sour. I also tried the green sauce on its own, and it was not good at all. I ended up having to stop eating and threw the food away. Unfortunately, about 20 minutes later, I started vomiting. I was excited to try this place since it’s close to my workplace, but I won’t be returning!
I visited this restaurant for lunch, and although parking was limited, that’s unrelated to the restaurant itself. We were promptly seated and provided with menus and glasses of water. Our server was excellent. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that one of the tortillas had a taste reminiscent of cleaning chemicals; otherwise, I would have rated it a full 5 stars. I will definitely come back again.
I ordered the shrimp quesadillas, which came with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. The portion size was good, and the flavor was authentic. I placed a to-go order, and the woman who answered the phone was friendly. The pick-up process was quick and straightforward. This place is excellent for a quick grab-and-go meal or dining in. I was in the area for a work meeting, and it made for a perfect and fast lunch. Book a table now
This is the best Mexican food I've had since moving from Colorado. The beans were delicious, the chips and salsa were excellent, and my only minor complaint is that they serve Coke in a bottle instead of offering a refillable fountain drink. But that's really just a small issue.
I have yet to try anything here that I don't absolutely love. The tacos are incredible; my current favorite is the shrimp taco. The tortas, burritos, and tamales are all delicious too. Honestly, everything I've tried has been fantastic!
