Can't miss this place. Located on Green Bay road. Building is bright yellow and orange. Came here a…read morecouple of times during the years and they have the best chicken yet. I used the drive thru to take my order and there's wasn't many people there at the time. But normally this place can get packed. They do have a couple of tables inside for indoor seating. I ordered the 8 piece family pack. Which comes with a whole chicken with green onions and jalapeños and 3 sides. I got rice, mashed potatoes, and extra green onions. Everything is so delicious. It also comes with 4 sauces. 2 red ones and 2 different green ones. My favorite is the lighter green one. It has a little kick but it's still pretty good.

The waitress was friendly and when free chips and salsa are part of your dining expenses, leave a great tip! It's large for seating for 30+. The reason I gave them 4 stars is because of the homeless people inside and outside that created a urine/dirty smell throughout the restaurant. One person had his shoes off and placed them on the chair next to our table and it was difficult to enjoy the food with the smell. Perhaps tighten up that aspect to not turn away paying customers.

My litmus for a good Mexican restaurant is their Menudo soup, and theirs was near perfect! The burrito pastor was also delicious, and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her chicken fajitas. All in all, this is a restaurant where I would be proud to take someone who is a fan of good, authentic Mexican food.

I've had this spot a few times, but wanted to specifically mention the burrito. You definitely get…read morewhat you pay for -- I added extra condiments and it still came out under $10, which is hard to beat when most places charge $15-$20 for something similar. That said, the burrito was on the smaller side and loosely wrapped. Flavor-wise though? Solid. I just wish they offered a bigger size. As for the tacos -- they taste authentic. I'm pretty sure someone's tía is back there putting in work. If you haven't tried it yet, it's worth a visit.

After a Sunday church service, my family and I stopped by this Mexican gem around 1 PM. The place…read morewas surprisingly quiet, so we might have just beaten the lunch rush. From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly and handed us menus to place our to-go order. Our food was ready in about 15 minutes--impressive timing--and they brought it out directly to us. The portions were generous, and let me tell you, the flavors were everything we hoped for and more. I went for the birria tacos with consomé, and wow--tender, juicy meat paired with the rich, savory broth. My family decided to go for the machetes, and let's just say no one was left hungry! While it's a little on the pricey side, in my opinion, the quality and taste more than make up for it. This spot is definitely worth a visit if you're craving Mexican food with bold flavors and hearty portions. We'll be back--maybe next time we'll try dining in to soak up the atmosphere a bit more!

We knew we were in for a treat, when we entered into this tiny restaurant, realized we were the only gringos, saw the 'fixins' cart and smelled all the goodness in the air. Best tacos we have had in a long time. I had the birria, pastor and shrimp tacos. If I had to choose a favorite it would probably be the birria, but it's really close as the other 2 were also extremely delicious. My friend was raving about the steak taco. Liked her other tacos too, but really fell in love with the steak taco. Had to chuckle when I saw one particular taco listed on the board: Taco de Ground Beef... I very highly recommend this spot.

Very clean place and it's more updated inside. Outside it gives off more tavern style. It is street side parking. Prices are kind of average if not a tad higher on some things. I tried the quesadilla compasina(sp). It seemed a little bland. It was to have cilantro but I didn't taste it. The floured tortilla was fine. Husband enjoyed the chimichangas dinner. Server was kind. this would be a place to go with groups or family. Chips and salsa- chips very crispy not my thing. He said he liked them like that. You get a tray of different sauces. Most had a sour cream base. Some too Spicey for me, but at least I tried. My favorite was the blueberry mojito!! Perfect flavor and alcohol ratio!! Too bad they didn't have outside seating it would be fun when it's warmer out.
