    QUESADILLA
    Jennifer T.

    We stopped on a recommendation from a store we were in. It's a take out spot so you are aware. They do have 3 picnic tables out back when the weather is nice. The staff is personable and the inside is small but clean. I got the quesabirria quesadilla. Grass fed beef which was delicious. My husband had the tacos. Both were missing the crunch we like but still very good. I suggest calling ahead as it takes a while but worth the wait if you don't. Eyeball the artwork in the walls in the meantime. The beans and rice added on for $2.99 were eh. And very small. Luckily they gave you consume, limes, onions, salsa, cilantro for those who like it. Sour cream and guacamole I believe we paid for. 3 Hot sauce came in ranges from hot to oh no! So pick your poison.

    Delicious food and vegetarian friendly! Fast service and friendly people. Conveniently located near the train station so I was able to quickly grab my food and take it to go. The food tasted fresh bad if you like hot sauce you MUST try the habanero. I am always searching for a good spicy sauce and this was one of the best I've ever had. Also has the Tres Leches cake which was moist and delicious. They have rotating flavors as well! While I waited for my food, I also got to sample the Banana Horchata - also delicious and just the right sweetness.

    Birria corn tacos- these were heavy and large!!

    First time, and boy I was impressed! Grass fed and grass finished beef is the highest quality, and that's what got me in the door. I had three large corn birria tacos- they came with onion, cilantro, two sauces and of course the consommé on the side. Excellent. Two gentlemen working had the best personalities- one was the owners son. Friendly, lively , engaging, unexpected. I don't know what makes them so happy to be at work, but boy they give a great impression. The building itself is decorated so cool. Stop here, it's unique and delicious and an exceptional staff!!

    Love the food here!! Amazing family recipes and really cool interior. Great people here and so friendly service!! Cute picnic tables to eat outside or takeout for going back home. The breakfast burrito is so delicious. The quessabirria was delicious for my daughter and she is so picky!! The horchata was an out of body experience and the elote is flavorful. Epic!!

    We had just finished a cancer awareness walk and wanted to find a casual, local Mexican restaurant. We are from out of town, but we loved talking with the family who owns the place. They gave us a lot of history of the building, talked to them about their band touring days, and enjoyed hearing the passionate stories about their food. We both got the birria chilaquiles (off their secret menu--use their QR code to find their link tree that has their current full menu) and it was DELICIOUS. It's dunked in their level 4 sauce (tangy and mild) with delicious birria meat and pico de gallo. Additionally, DO NOT miss the churro cheesecake! It is everything. Not too sweet, so creamy, still thinking about it hours later. You can only take out. Long complicated building codes prevent them from being a sit down restaurant but there is a cute park behind the building. Just be aware that bathrooms might be locked!

    Phenomenal experience - staff was friendly and the reviews prove how good this place is. Extremely flavorful and plenty of different food options. It is a small place but in this case size doesn't matter. Will definitely return and after reading through their low reviews it couldn't be any more false. It's pretty rare to be treated as nice as these folks. Will be back for sure!

    The food was great. They got all the food out real quick. And there was a nice park right around the corner for our big group.

    Great flavor, over priced, not intended for sit down. You must get it to go. It's definitely higher quality and worth trying.

They brought a small bowl of chips and had three different types of salsa in plastic bottles (like the old style ketchup and mustard ones at diners) with three small dishes to put them in. Chips were thick, crispy, and salty. Not sure if they have free refills, as we finished our chips rather fast and they took the bowl away afterwards. I ordered the 22 oz strawberry margarita and it was probably one of the best margs I've had. Came with strawberry slices in the drink and a tajin rim. Great deal for $10. I ended up getting three tacos traditional style: Birria, steak, and chorizo. The birria one was really good, just wish the tortilla was dipped in juice like some of the other birria tacos I've had. It was my first time having chorizo, and I would order it again. The steak taco was good, but nothing special. Service was a little slow despite there only being one other table, but our table was talking anyway so it wasn't too much of an issue. Overall, would go back if I was in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way to go there.

While I haven't tried everything there from what I have tried I can guarantee most if not all the menu is going to be a good choice.

The burrito was probably twice as big as I was expecting it to be for the price and it was fantastic. The fries were great too. The food also did not take long, which helped if you need to get back to work after a quick lunch break. Drinks wise they have some cans of Coke products and Jarritos, and some bottles of water. This place should absolutely be on your list for lunch if you're in the area.

It's loaded with steak and the best part is, it's very well season and the meat is very nicely charred ! Wife had the torts and it was huge and loaded as well.

Our server took our order took the food to our table and never saw her again so I had to get up to ask to rap my food to go and to please give us the bill. You my ask why I emphasize the SERVICE when I go out to eat. The reason is because I never get to sit down to eat at work nor at home. When I go out to eat I like my food fresh hot and delicious.

Multiple TVs, mounted above order counter, are playing with sound and captions off. Chips and a very mild salsa kicked off our in-house experience.

Meat was tender and well seasoned. I didn't enjoy the refried beans. The rice had a good sprinkling of peas. Guacamole, sour cream and diced tomatoes were striped across shredded iceberg lettuce.

Steak in the tacos/burritos was tasty although a little dry (which i chalk up to coming after the lunch period at 130p). I really want to come back earlier in the day while everything is fresher! But that being said was happy with the food and it was reasonably priced and the serving sizes were very good. The place had a good flow to it with your standard pictures and seating (chairs vs booths which is another plus). I definitely plan on coming back next time I am in the area.
