THEY WERE SO GOOD. If you haven't been here yet, do your like a favor and come eat here, you will not regret it. Called in my order of 5 corn taquitos/burritos around noon and the the lovely gentlemen let me know my order would be ready in 5 to 10 minutes. As I walked in he was backing up my order, talk about fast and friendly service here. Got a side order of guacamole for my order and it was a very inexpensive lunch. The corn burritos/taquitos were popping hot and came topppd with a ton of cheese. I poured the red salsa it came with over the cheese and I got the final product of salsa and cheese covered burritos/taquitos. 10/10, highly reccomend. These things were amazing. Overall come support this local buisness. Great food, great service, what is not to like here. Thank you El Preferido for the great lunch, I will be back very soon.

Considering your paying $13, I felt the soup was over priced for the amount you recieve. I left got a chicken leg, a small piece of squash, carrot, and chayote. Soup needed a bit extra flavor as well. I poured the salsa, onions, and cilantro it came with and about 4 lemon wedges and some salt to give it a good flavor. Soup had plenty of caldo though. The rice on the side was okay too, nothing that stands out. Of course the meal came with a side of tortillas. I think I will come back again and try some thing else. I wouldn't reccoemnd this soup, perhaps try the beef/res if your looking for soup. However the menu has other items worth checking out.

She seemed genuinely happy to be there, and her positive attitude made the experience even better. I ordered coffee and the taco combo. She made a fresh pot of coffee just for me, brought chips and salsa right away, and even brought me a water without me having to ask. It was the little thoughtful touches like that that really stood out and made the whole meal feel special. The restaurant was clean, and the ambience and environment were very authentic. The parking lot is a little bumpy, but that is honestly the only downside. The food was amazing. The tacos were perfectly crispy--not too hard, just the right amount of crunch. The meat was flavorful and delicious. The chips and salsa were excellent, and the rice and beans tasted authentic and full of flavor. From the service to the food, everything was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the overall experience. I will definitely be back!

The salsa is pretty good, and has a nice spice to it. The chips seemed typical tortilla chips. The fajita trio was served up warm and looked really fresh, the colors of everything were very appealing. Tasting the fajitas confirmed that they were light and fresh as they looked. There really wasn't much in the seasoning added, so it really was 'au natural' and simple. It worked well on this dish with the fresh vegetables. The tortillas were typical, nothing special to say about these. I did enjoy the beans and cheese, mashed up nicely and tasted great. Overall, a nice place to stop for Mexican food. Not a lot of spices added to the food here, but you can count on the freshness.

We ordered a few things online from here and they came out pretty good…read more The restaurant is a quick service restaurant with plenty of seating and the interior was clean. They have a salsa bar with a variety of salsas that looked clean and fresh. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito, pastor tacos, carnitas tacos and chips and salsa. The pastor was really tasty and the tacos were flavorful with the usual toppings. The carnitas was also shredded nicely and tender. I topped these with the green salsa which was mild in spiciness but full of flavor. Both really good tacos. The red salsa had a slight smokey flavor and tasted really good. The bean and cheese burrito was decent. Not bad at all, pretty typical whole pinto beans and cheese. Chips and pico de gallo were decent. The chips were crisp and obviously made in house. The pico served with the chips was kinda bland. It was fresh but I felt it needed something else. Combined with the red salsa really elevated it. Overall, friendly staff when picking up the food and the interior was clean. The food is above average and pretty good for a quick service restaurant.

The food here is pretty tasty…read more I get the green chile chicken tamale every time. The chicken is moist and flavorful, although I do like to add extra salsa verde to it. It is wrapped in a leaf rather than the usual corn husk. I've tried the steak taco salad and steak taco plate, both were also very good. The steak is cooked well done but surprisingly not tough or chewy. I wasn't offered any chips so I don't think they give out complimentary chips, but I do see it on the menu available for purchase. Also if paying by credit card there is a 3% surcharge so if you want to avoid the fee bring cash.
