The guy at the counter seemed rather confused when I was placing my order. He seemed not sure how to put my order in the register. He was polite to me. He eventually wandered into the back and returned with an older lady who completed the transaction. It seems that the cook was covering the counter while the customer service person was away for a bit. I ordered a two chicken taco combination and a two carne asada taco combination. My food came out quickly. When I got my order home and unpacked it. I had napkins, plastic utensils and packets of salsa. The food was hot and fresh. The tacos were loaded with meat and topped with lots of shredded lettuce and cheese. The refried beans that came with the order tasted good but were overly soupy. The Mexican style rice tasted good. The restaurant was clean but a bit outdated. The workers were polite and courteous. There seemed to be plenty of parking. They could spend some time tidying up the parking lot. Prices were okay. Eating out has become a luxury. Add ons like sour cream, guacamole, cheese, etc. seemed a bit high. I did feel I got a good quantity of food in my order. I would come back.

I've driven by this little spot quite a few times but never had the chance to stop. I finally did…read moretoday, and I'm glad I checked it out! I ordered everything to go and went with their Tijuana-style tacos--dos tacos de lengua con todo and dos tacos de carne asada con todo--along with green and red salsa and some limes. If you know lengua, you know it needs to be cleaned and cooked a very specific way, and they definitely got that part right. The lengua was cooked well and had a good texture. For my personal taste, though, it was just missing a little salt. Other than that, the food was good. It's a cute, small spot with some outdoor seating. They also have aguas frescas like horchata, pan dulce, and coffee, so there's a little bit of everything. Overall, a nice little neighborhood taqueria to pull up to when you're craving some Tijuana-style tacos.

This is the kind of place you rely on when you need something solid, fast, and satisfying. My usual order is the asada or cabeza tacos--and they don't hold back. The tacos are big, flavorful, and consistently good every time. Every now and then I switch it up with the chile relleno burrito, which is also worth it. Everything I've had here hits. The salsa selection is solid too. They don't have it laid out anymore, but you can just ask at the counter--and they'll take care of you. They've always been cool about giving extra when needed. They've also got a good variety of drinks to go with it. I usually take my food to-go, but the outdoor patio is there if you want to sit and eat. Service is friendly, quick, and consistent--another reason I keep coming back. If you're looking for a reliable late-night taco spot that delivers on flavor and portion, this is it.

Such good food. I got the carnitas plate and my buddy got these little riblets. I forgot what they…read morewere called. They came in a green sauce. I tried some and they were delicious. My carnitas plate was so good. I like my carnitas on the fatty side but today they were the lean pieces and to my surprise, they were still really good. Their tortillas are on the thick side and I really enjoyed them. Their beans and rice are on point. The service here is awesome. The ladies made us feel like we were guests in their home. We got there for an early lunch and asked if we'd like the AC on. Of course we do! I wish there were places like this closer to my home. Now if only they had fountain drinks... namely Coca-Cola products...

The first thing I noticed was that there didn't seem to be any air conditioning, and it was extremely hot inside. Ordering was also pretty frustrating. I asked if they took "tarjeta" (card), but it took a few minutes and two employees before they understood what I meant. Even after pointing to the item I wanted on the menu, there was still some confusion before my order was placed. On the positive side, everyone was friendly, my food came out quickly, and there was hardly anyone there during lunch. The carne asada was delicious, and the taco tortilla was fresh and flavorful. The cheese enchilada was just okay and much smaller than I expected. My plate came out to just under $20, which felt overpriced for the portion size and overall experience. Better communication with English-speaking customers would also make the ordering process much smoother. Overall, the food was good, but the value and service experience left room for improvement.

The calamari appetizer was a hit--vodka pasta sauce with tangy parmigiana cheese. The mole chicken enchiladas arrived with rice and beans. The spicy mole sauce was a delight, but the chicken was a bit dry, and the beans were too salty. The regular white rice with refried beans was a letdown. The presentation was impressive, though. The price was a bit high, but I enjoyed the overall vibe. The service was great, with attentive waiters checking on us throughout the meal. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but the food was just average for the price. I'm not sure if I'll be back, but I'll definitely give it another try.

The meat of the tacos were okay, but not the best. I also wish they offered more salsas or sides like lime; they only have your regular green and red salsa, and some radish and pickled onions. The service was good and there was no line when we went on a Friday night. We also waited less than 10 minutes for our food. There's no place to sit and eat, which is pretty standard, but there's a lot of space to stand around or park your car and eat.

But on last Saturday morning 3/7/26 I found a parking spot and walked right in. I ordered a wet burrito with barbacoa, 3 carne asada tacos and a bowl of menudo. The wet burrito came out hot covered in red sauce and cheese. The baracoa was tender and had flavor. Easily one of the best wet burritos I've ever had. I got the tacos for my brother and menudo for my mom so no feedback on those foods. I walked in around 9:30 am the place was semi busy. I saw couple of customers having the menudo. Its an indicator that its good. Staff was nice and gave me a complimentary bag of chips and cup of salsa. I would return to sample other items from the menu and recommend.
