Pricing is okay, three dollars a taco. If you order less than five they automatically add fifty cents for sauce. I went with three tacos so my total after tax and the salsa surcharge was just over ten dollars. I also thought it was a bit strange that they use paper plates and wrap them in plastic wrap instead of your more traditional takeout container. The tacos themselves were good. Overall, a decent for tacos.

The chips were delicious and went great with the queso and salsa. My husband loves spicy stuff so they brought him a few different spicy sauces to try and he liked them all. We shared the Arracherra which was okay a bit overdone so was hard to cut and chew. The rice and beans were good just basic rice and beans. Not a ton of flavor in this dish. They service was good and the place had plenty of seating and a good sized bar area.

I had a huge combo plate with a taco, burrito, and enchilada all melted under (too much) cheese....everything kinda melted together which is typically my jam. It smells great upon entry, but it was quite warm with the air conditioning set low, and a bit of stickiness on the bathroom floor. The Al Pastor quesadilla had a GREAT flavor, with the beans & rice above average, chips were warm and salty and the salsa needed a little more of a chill, but had a nice kick to it. Has potential! Again, pleasantly surprised with the affordable pricing for a decent sized meal in this economy, especially so close to Beachside.

The $4.99 happy hour Margarita was all sour mix with little, if any, tequila. The chips and salsa came out nice and hot, but was just okay.

It's a large flour tortilla filled with filet tip beef Colorado, refried beans and rice, smothered with its own savory sauce and melted cheese. The beef Colorado is always tender and very tasty! It's quite delicious and the portions are so huge that I usually take half of it home to eat the following day. At $16.99 it's a good buy!

You can truly taste the difference, the chips and tortillas are made fresh locally and everything tasted authentic. The service was amazing.

However, this place serves carne asada as good as mine, and their birria burrito with consume dipping sauce was very tasty and exceeded our expectations. The salsa verde was so good, we were about to order 16oz to go, for making enchiladas. However, their refried beans tasted canned, and not like Sun Vista, because you can make killer frijoles with that brand. This was more like a can of warm-and-serve Rosarita that you'd get on sale at Food City. If management wants, I'll come in with my can of Sun Vista and refry some in their kitchen, and put em up against theirs for a taste test.
