    Cup of fries

    Within walking distance of the plaza holiday lights, the fam and me decided to stop by and check this lil hidden gem out. It was lil empty when we got but as soon we sat down groups came in...we brought the rush.. lol. I ordered the green chili burger. It looks like all burgers are double meat. My burger came with a cup of fries and I ordered a Mexican coke to drink it all down. About 10-15 minutes later the food came out and the burger was huge, big enough to have its own plate. Its was spicy, but not too spicy where I couldn't enjoy the taste. Food was good ambience was nice and the server was great. Check this place out if u in the DT area. Open late.

    We had a quick lunch here because I was craving a torta. The ambiance was simple, the prices are good (they often have specials), the food was good, and the service was nice. I would recommend the loaded fries and Mexican coke with your torta. Great place for a quick lunch.

    Flauta plate

    The food was amazing! We had the flautas, tacos, and cheese fries. The wait for food was a little long but so worth it.

    Flautas Order of 6

    I placed a to-go order for 6 flautas, a torta De pastor, and fries. The restaurant was understaffed and I had to wait an extra 15 minutes despite ordering 20 minutes ahead of time. They informed me that they had run out of al pastor meat and added a beef frank to the burger instead. The flautas were not very flavorful and were too oily. The torta had good flavor, but I personally didn't like the beef frank they added. The fries aren't very good wouldn't waste money on them. The ambience inside was decent, but I wish the service had been faster.

    Pastor torts, 4 pastor taco plate, and fries

    Found this gem around the corner from our hotel. The place feels a little understaffed but the workers handled the rush with ease. The pastor meat has a spice to it so definitely worth to note. The bread on the torta was fresh and crisp. Everything felt and tasted very fresh. They do need a big menu above the register when walking in. Would make it more welcoming to first timers. There's a menu on the counter at the register.

    Patty melt with loaded fries delicious with a little spice

    First and foremost, I have to appreciate the cook and thefront of the house Joselin they did a marvelous job food presentation was phenomenal and the food was cooked just right as for joselin she has great FOH skills. I do recommend this spot.

    Trendy little spot with solid options for lunch. Nothing comes small here; beware. Also, there are no diet sodas whatsoever and no iced tea. So it's beer, water, or sugar sodas. Obviously, I opted for the beer.

    The food was amazing! Al Pastor Burger was my first, but sooo good. Back home the pastor is greasy, this was so perfect!

    heard about this place on IG and we came HUNGRY. long story short -- food 3/5, ambiance 4.5/5, service 5/5 we ordered 3 different burgers HAHA cuz were starving. each burger comes with fries and has the option to add other ingredients on it. we got the guacamole burger, al pastor burger, and the juarito burger. i would say my favorite was definitely the guacamole burger. i didn't like how the other burgers included just a slice of ham in there xD i like my burgers more simple (juicy beef patty with good sauces) HAHA. there's nothing too special about the buns or the sauces but it definitely hit the spot. each burger also comes with 2 patties so they are pretty big. the loaded fries are also not bad. crunchy crispy fries are my thing, but the fries here are a little soggy and unseasoned.... i loved the ambiance of the restaurant though! it's lively and not too busy which i liked. would come back and try their flautas next time!

    Delicious Flautas Order of 4

    Toss is a great quick stop for a fast bite. The food is good and proportions are plentiful. I think this is a great location if you find yourself wandering around downtown. The service is friendly and attentive. They have a menu that is sure to meet any hunger. I would definitely recommend.

My friend had the mole item and felt it was way too sweet/cocoa on it. Overall I would've wanted to try the other machaca items and other things.

I had just flown in from the airport, and my brother arranged it as a special family gathering. Everything started normally: we were seated, ordered our food, received our drinks, and enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. Then my sister (who is LGBTQ+) stepped away to use the restroom. When she returned and sat down, a manager approached our table and loudly told her--in front of other diners--that "MEN cannot use the female restroom." My sister was mortified and humiliated by the public confrontation. The manager's tone and assumption were shocking and clearly discriminatory. We immediately got up and left without eating. This wasn't about enforcing any legitimate policy; it was rude, insensitive, and targeted. My adult sister is perfectly capable of reading the restroom signs herself--no one needed to police or shame her in such a way. The incident felt rooted in homophobia and transphobia from management. We will never return to this place, and we will actively discourage others--especially LGBTQ+ individuals and allies--from patronizing it. What should have been a joyful family milestone was ruined by bigotry. Avoid this establishment if you value respect and inclusivity.

Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.
