Dining Area 3/5: They did a good job making it feel like a Mexican restaurant but the dining area feels underwhelming. I usually order to go. Customer Service 5/5: The staff is bilingual so English speakers shouldn't be afraid to visit this location based on stereotypes. Food 5/5: The fajita taco was excellent. I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The salsa is spicy don't let them fool you. Start with a little and proceed according to your comfort. The drinks I would stay away from because they are oftentimes watered down or the flavor is lacking. Price 3/5: They only accept cash! $3 for a single taco or drink is a bit pricey considering the hundreds of other locations selling the same quality tacos for less.

Each taco came with beans and avocado in them. The person who answered is bilingual. Food: I picked up my food within 20 mins of ordering. When I arrived I was greeted with a smile. He doubled checked everything in my bag and offered me the different types of hot sauce they have. When I got home my food was nice and warm. The tacos were filled with eggs and potato/chorizo, beans, and avocado. They were very filling!! The tacos came with chips which is a nice touch! Overall the food was GREAT! The homemade hot sauce was good. The green sauce was my favorite. The service was amazing! I will definitely go back for breakfast tacos!!

They had the homemade taste, made with real ingredients! Not a lot of processed stuff. You can taste the difference. While eating I didn't feel as if heartburn was knocking at the door. I'm very excited about the freshness and clean taste. Not overly salty. Some may need salt, but I appreciate the freshness! So excited. The ambiance is causal, with the feel of being at a neighbors house for lunch. Very relaxed. I guess me being from California, being used to fresh tasting tacos, this is a hit for me! I can't wait to return to try some of the other taco meats. Note: They typically close at 2pm daily, but occasionally will close at 1pm. You might want to call to verify their hours.
