    Fresh ingredients, tasty items & a DELICIOUS Top Tier Burrito!! Tacos: 4/5 well made. They use double tortillas, with well marinated meat, onion, cilantro and guacamole Burrito 5/5: They have a GREAT carne asada burrito! This ranks up there as a top tier burrito. The meat flavor can carry the burrito by itself but it doesn't stop there, the guacamole and the additions topping make it a DELICIOUS pick! Interior: -clean design and plenty of room Service: -Good, no issues Overall this is a Good choice for tacos/various menu items and even better for Burritos!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Food was amazing Tacos and burritos today (next level) Service from the cooking department(unfortunately can use a lot of work) Thank you for the delicious food well prepared and the portions are a little out Control, but that's OK if The service with the register was really nice and very welcome Unfortunately, the interaction with the cook would definitely deter us from coming back. Like you and the register people are pretty much like the front line. No need to be so angry and bitter. All because we had told them to put the onions on the side. You're in the customer service business. You will come in contact with a lot of request in the kitchen and dealing with the . hope it was twisted bad day on your part which is understandable. We are all human. But just because the cook was having a bad day, we won't let that reflect the entire staff, which was really nice and kind. But we'd be more than happy to give it another shot hopefully the service in the preparation area I will definitely say the Horchata and their Jamaica are well-made, we definitely enjoyed their soft drinks

    Soggy and the dude just put salsa on my tacos and didn't ask like who does that

    Their tacos are not that good. It's hard for me to write anything else. I did take these home to eat but with the watery salsa the tortilla is the soggiest ever! I have to put these in the air fryer. Their birria isn't good, it's also watery and not red. I don't get why it's called birria if it doesn't have the red seasoning along with birria juice. I can't spell it lol. Also, didn't ask us if we wanted cheese or even if they had it! We didn't think about til we got home. He added some cheese to his carne asada tacos and just didn't even finish the plate bc just not good. I always wanted to try this spot! Also, had to add that I told my man I bet he gave me the hottest one. Yep, he did put the hottest hot sauce on mine. Luckily I like it that way but that's also another reason for the one star! I'm not at work, I can be on my phone. I said sorry. Not sure what else would have been the reason he just decided to do that and my man was right there too. Smh. Good luck.

    WEEKEND POETRY SLAM: ODE TO FRIDA'S {*anticipatory silence*} {*clears throat*} One bite, I transcended. Heaven is the taco joint By the laundromat. Best tacos on Earth-- dog stole one, now he salsa dances in the street. Rush of muted voices, "ICE?" Nah, just the freezer hum-- Back to tacos, brah. Guac drops like green gold, taco whispers sweet nothings-- my ex never did. Hate tacos? Red flag. Probably microwaves toast. Unfriended for life. {*drops mic*} {*audience snaps uncontrollably*} Pro tip: Satisfying TJ-style street tacos, burritos, and aguas frescas served with ambience that's a little too TJ-authentic. The asada, al pastor, and carnitas versions are perfect, but hard no on the cabeza / cow's head bc I don't want the mad cow disease. {*drops imaginary mic*}

    Absolutely incredible experience. The tacos were next-level -- perfectly cooked meat, fresh cilantro and onions, and that creamy green salsa was unreal. Every bite was packed with flavor, especially the beef and carnitas. You can tell everything is made fresh and with care. The setup was classic and comfortable, the vibe felt authentic, and the salsa bar was stacked with options that actually bring heat and flavor, not just spice. The grilled onions and potatoes on the side were a perfect touch. Paired everything with an ice-cold Mexican Coke and an iced coffee, and it hit the spot perfectly. Portions were generous, prices were fair, and the food came out fast. If you're craving real, no-shortcuts Mexican food that delivers every single time, this place is a must. I'll 100% be back.

    When it comes to Taco tuesday, where else can you find authentic street tacos for less than $2.00? They're loaded with meat and salsa and guac and my favorites are the adobada, asada and carnitas. Any other day of the week I probably wouldn't come here as the regular prizes for the tacos are wild. That being said, I love all the other reviews who are upset for spending so much money. Its not that hard to look up prices beforehand lol. The service is ok and sometimes the salsa bar has old condiments in it. Overall, its a fun place to go on taco Tuesday and Ill definitely be coming back.

    First time eating here. I came here on Friday thinking it would be a quick taco shop, but raised this was more of a sit down eatery. So we left. But this time, we were ready. I like the set up and I love that there is outside seating. Kind of reminds me of TJ Tacos, but pretty. We ordered a mango agua fresca, carnitas mulita, and 2 adobada tacos. Holy cow! The food was fire!! Got a little plate of roasted peppers, sliced radishes, and cooked onions. That alone could be a meal - it was so good. Got a little container of salsa but all the food we ate didn't need any salsa. Just took a bite of the food followed up with a bite of the pepper, and it was magical! The cold, tasy agua fresca hit the nail on the head, diminishing the heat from the pepper. I was very happy we decided to come here and we'll be back!

    Food not bad, it's great for when you want a TJ style taco in a hurry and can't drive over the boarder. The Vista location seems a little bit light on cleanliness, tables not clean, napkin holders have dried food on them, restrooms not prepped for the dinner crowd. I really like the decor and layout, music can be a little loud. I had a carne asada taco, pollo taco and chicharrón taco and not too bad. I may return.

    Definitely worth visiting if you're craving street tacos! It's not as great as some of the spots closer to the border but will fill your street taco void if craving. Cashier was pretty lack luster... but seems typical nowadays it seems. You get a receipt and then give it to someone to build out your tacos. I love the open kitchen concept so you can see how it's all getting prepped. He was nice but I was super thrown off with the guac on the Al pastor (isn't a usual) but was happy to have the guac. He threw on some sautéed onions and peppers on my plate too. The onions were sooooo good and sweet. Carne Asada Tacos - Solid! Probably better than Tacos el Gordo's asada Al Pastor - this was what knocked down a star for me. Not sure if it was the meat or the guac but it was super saltyy. Wasn't the usual flavor profile I was used to. Overall the tortillas with the tacos were good. This was a nice a spacious restaurant. The offer a variety of items and drinks like the Agua Frescas. Will probably be back to try the fries. I saw them prepping another order and WOW it looked massive!!!!

    I'm so happy they opened a location a little closer to home. This location has been open roughly a month or so. Best day to stop Taco TuesdayBell BUT it's packed after like 5 pm. But the wait is worth the $2 price tag! This trip we ordered the carne asada fries. As you can see you can definitely split this with 2 people. Fries are fries fresh, you add whatever toppings (already on is sour cream, cheese, guacamole) . Also recommend the pastor in tacos or burritos whatever. The flavor is there The ladies are nice at the cashier area. The guys prepping and preparing are always accommodating and in good spirits. Only complaint would be the organization of the lines between ordering and pick up. Maybe having the poles so there's a line to pick up along the counter. It gets so jumbled when it's packed. Seating indoor and outside. Salsa bar is near the door. All drinks are displayed and they are yummy! If you are in the area check this place out.

    Went here for lunch with a friend for the first time to give it a try. Nothing fancy inside, with…read moreyour basic four chairs and a table set up with a small bar. There were approximately 12 tables in the first section, and it got a little loud as it filled up at lunch time but not bad to the point of annoying. Not sure how many tables in the second section. Our very pleasant server brought us waters and fresh Tortilla Chips with a Black Bean sauce on them and two different hot sauces. Very fresh tasting and enjoyable. We ordered Modelo draft Beers, $7 each. They gave us a breakfast menu, regular menu, drink menu and another menu that I didn't even bother to look at. Too much. My friend and I really like Taquitos, so we thought we would give them a try here since it was our first time. He got beef and I got chicken. They also have pork. For $15, we got five Taquitos covered with some Black Bean sauce, Guacamole, Creme Fresh and Mexican Cheese. They were piping hot when served, crunchy on the outside with a good amount of filling that you could sink your teeth into and really taste. They were delicious, some of the best we have had. By the time we finished our lunch every table in our section was occupied and they had opened up their second seating area too. A consistent stream of "To Go" orders was being picked up all during our lunch. If I could, I would have given them a 4.7-star rating. The only reason not to being a 5 is two things. First, the entry point is a choke point, people standing in and out the front door trying to get in and there are no waiting seats inside so people waiting to pick up a "To Go" order sit at tables and or stand over other diners by the front door. Second the ambience is on the noisy side and basic. For their great food it is not going to stop me from going back and trying some of their other dishes though.

The rest of us had the carnitas, enchiladas and a couple of tacos and everything was exceptional. We will definitely be back soon!

Street parking only, but wasn't too hard to find a spot as we came early. The restaurant is very nice and looks new. There is two dining rooms one towards the front near the bar area, and another in the back. We sent in the front for brunch. The menu had a good variety of items, and we decided to go with the chilaquiles and the shrimp and grits. I love Shrimp and grits, and it's not too common on menu's so i has to try it. The dish had pork belly instead of bacon, and shrimp. THe texture of the grits was very good, not too runny or too thick. The shrimp seemed good quality and not chewy or rubbery. I really enjoyed the dish and would order it again. The chilaquiles were an interesting take, not at all what you're normal chilaquiles would be. They come with lamb but we substituted with chicken. They were covered with a type of hollandaise sauce and we both thought they were good. I also ordered a breakfast shot that had bourbon in it, and a piece of pork belly on the top, and a shot of orange juice. It was pretty strong and very good. I would definitely order this one again, and the piece of pork belly they added on top was perfect. I can't wait to go back to check out their happy hour, it looks like they have an awesome menu, and they even do it on the weekends.

It's been a little bit of time since we've been there, but this has always been a place on top of our recommendation if somebody is coming to town it's where we would take them to show them a good meal and when other people ask for recommendations for a nice place for dinner, it's what we would tell them fast-forward now I think a couple years later from the initial opening and we don't come quite often just bc we have some new favorites, but it was Sunday night Labor Day weekend and we didn't know where to go so we ended up here. They admitted when we first walked in that they were shortstaffed totally fine and I'm happy to sit in the bar area. Truthfully, we don't come as often because they got rid of my husband's favorite oxtail Birria burger, but we do bring friends here for brunch. Anyway, we were here for dinner on Sunday night. Service was short staffed like they had mentioned and we sat at a high top in the bar area. We started off by ordering a hard seltzer and a carajillo. My seltzer came out rather slow, but it took probably another 10 minutes for my husband to get his drink and when they brought it out, they brought two like they were confused on how many we ordered so we kept the one and then they ended up giving ours I think to what I'm assuming with some friends the owner at the bar not a problem but one thing that I did notice is that there were a lot of "friends at the bar" it definitely gave that kind of vibe they were doing shots with a patron, gave our incorrect food order to another, were testing a new cocktail recipe I think with some. They were sharing drinks with some patrons. It's probably a nice gig if you're friends with these people and I'm not hating on it. Then we ordered our food. I ordered some Mezcal lime wings, and my husband ordered the grits when my food came out the waitress brought a burger and a salad and we had to tell her that wasn't our food. Then we waited another extra five minutes for my husband's food to come out and it did. I will say the quality of the food hasn't changed. The wings were delicious. They were crispy and they were well seasoned, and my husband really enjoyed his food, but it was the lack of service throughout the meal that really hit home for me that we probably won't be coming back as often and maybe just for brunch. It was such a weird experience to feel like because we were paying we were getting worse service than those who were getting free drinks and such but I can't complain because the food was good if the service was bad and the food was bad I'd be leaving a lower review but I can't give any higher than three stars if there was a 3 1/2 I'd leave it, but I almost never write negative reviews for places, but this really struck a nerve for me. I think because we came a little bit before 7 PM. It's not as if they were closing in 20 minutes. I could understand poor service for that, but I didn't really see why the service was so poor looking around. It's just a bit confusing, I guess.
