We went late at night a hour before closing & the customer service was still hospitable! They're awesome and very accommodating. Food was some of the best Mexican food I've ever taste that's why I have no pictures to post it was too good. The street tacos & the fish taco was scrumptious. Chip & salsa bar and the churros hit the spot! This is a must go whenever I'm back in the area

We had a not so pleasant experience at another restaurant, leading us to leave and venture off to find someplace else to eat. We did not travel far before stumbling into this amazing Mexican restaurant. Plenty of room, fair amount of parking. Best part though, I had the best shrimp & beef burrito I have ever had.

Went here and ordered the birria taco combo. Got home, no birria sauce. Tacos were still good so I will try it one more time I guess. Check your order before you leave. Edit: been back many times with no problems!

We usually come in for menudo (they have the best!), this time we ordered birria tacos & they were delicious - highly recommend!

I want to commend Manuel for his exceptional professionalism during a challenging situation I witnessed. A customer, who appeared to be a nurse from the VA hospital, attempted to pick up food without a receipt and became confrontational, even belittling him. Despite this, Manuel remained calm, respectful, and handled the situation with patience and grace. His ability to defuse tension while maintaining policy reflects strong leadership and outstanding customer service. On top of that, the food here is absolutely delicious, making this place a true gem!

Hey, it's a fast food place....has a good amount of seating at the tables and I give them 5 stars for a surprisingly good #37 Platter I believe, which is the hot wings and fries. The sauce was not overly hot but very tasty so there should not be any complaints there :) but no doubt somebody will make a liar of me. The fries were done just right....not overly "stiff" and good taste. I finished every fry....to the very last one but could not finish the oversized chicken wings. They were just too meaty :) I'll be back.

Food is great with great daily specials. You can't beat it. Cheaper than Taco Bell and the food is outstanding. Give it a try and you will be hooked.
