    Located on the corner of McKinley and Clinton at the Shell gas station. My husband and I stopped by to try. My husband was the one who ordered. No prices posted on their menu. We ordered 3 tacos (pastor and asada) and one asada sopes all totaling to a pricey $18. Waited about 15-20mins. First off the food was actually pretty good. The sopes was huge and loaded almost covered the whole plate with so much flavor. The tacos were also very good the meat was seasoned well. Came with 3 salsas all pretty spicy the red sauce and guac was good the green salsa tasted like it was old/spoiled. Our only complaint was the service. The man with glasses taking the orders doesn't have the best customer service skill which makes the visit unappetizing. After my husband ordered and paid the guy was giving him a hard time with his change. My husband asked for his change and the guy said he will give it later. Which make NO SENSE when the transaction already happened how is it so difficult to give the change right after. There were other diners there and he didn't give them a hard time. My husband asked if the guy did that to them and they all said no he gave them their change right way. While waiting for our food my husband asked again and the guy said that he told him he'll give it later. The man gave no explanation as to why he couldn't give $2 worth of change right away. We were definitely a bit annoyed. He eventually gave it up there was no reason for that kind of attitude a simple explanation would be nice too since he had not problem giving other their change at the appropriate time. Overall the food was without a doubt good but because of our interaction with this guys we probably won't be coming back.

    This place is pretty solid for a quick bite close to the hotels. Chicken burrito $11 plus al pastor taco $3. The burrito was pretty huge and would have been more than filling on its own. Ask for a side of grilled onions and peppers.

They had chairs out and a table. They are not doing drinks at this time. There was a short line when we got there and people waiting for their food. It's on the rough side of town but nothing to stray you away from eating there or picking up food to go. I believe all food is made to order as we had to wait a bit which was not a problem! I would give this place 5 stars but they didn't have prices on ANYTHING on the menu so you don't know how much things are. They have a pretty good menu that has pictures up showcasing their food. I ended up ordering two chicken tacos and the dude got 2 carnitas and chorizo tacos. OmgeeeEEEEee!!! The tacos are SO huge! I was not expecting them to be that big and filling. One taco pretty much filled me up! The chicken was flavorful and yummy no complaints I love the meat and the sauces! The dude said the chorizo taco was too salty and he loved the carnitas! I tasted the carnitas and they were flavorful. We enjoyed the green salsas as the for me the RED salsa was too spicy but it was good. I love how they give you complimentary cucumbers and rashes! You can't go wrong with those. I am looking forward to trying their other menu items and hopefully they will put prices on the menu soon! If you are in the area or want dinner or something yummy this place stays open pretty late and worth the drive!! And filling! You get your monies worth for sure. Glad to have tried it!

I ordered for my family (2kids and their mom) as we usually go ! I was assisted and the next two people who ordered food after me got their food first it was kind of late so the kids needed to eat and get to bed i ended up waiting 30 min until I was served last. I noticed they seemed to know the the other customers somehow and just hooked them up ! I didn't really worry too much although just wanted to get the food home . After i got home we sat down to dine together nobody liked the tacos .. wasn't Cooked well at all it ended up just being trash for the night!

I ordered a quesadilla and a horchata. The horchata was gritty, watery, and had no flavor, so I asked to exchange it for a soda. Instead of simply helping, the young lady working became defensive and rude, insisting there were no refunds even though she assured me it was and could have offered the option of taste testing When the older woman tried to hand me my refund, the young worker snatched it out of her hand and shoved it toward me while telling me I was "not welcome here." Completely unnecessary and wildly unprofessional. She later claimed I should have asked for a sample something I was never told was even an option. The attitude, the hostility, and the lack of basic customer respect were unbelievable. The food wasn't good, the drink was worse, and the customer service was the final straw. When food is good and customer service is amazing I spend whatever happily but she let $4 exchange turn into a bigger lost as if money back is justification and I should be satisfied it was the principalities when I first asked I should have been greeted with a simple return we shouldn't have to have a combative conversation for someone else to intervene and produce the outcome that should been handled when the conversation began

The location is right next to a gas station so little parking available. They have a food truck outside next to their dine-in inside. I like that they have a limited menu so that's was good. I will say this, I've never had Hmong food so I am not sure how it should taste. I order half dozen egg rolls and three spring rolls, and a large Nab Vam drink. The egg rolls were crispy, although the glass noodles inside caught me off guard. Actually, I didn't like them... I do like their sweet and spicy sauce though. The spring rolls were nice and thick, and I like that they add pork to theirs. Definitely filling. However, their peanut sauce is overwhelming spicy. It kinda masks the nutty flavor of the peanut butter. The drink was ok. I love how colorful it was. I listen to the guy and shake my drink well, but I didn't find it no where sweet. I think I had expectations that it would taste like a boba drink but yea it felt off for me. Other wise, it's ok. I ended up disagreeing with my friend on the eggrolls claim lol
