    a nail in my shrimp tacos

    I went in because I love their homemade tortillas shrimp tacos and today I got four ate two there and took the other two to eat at home as I'm chewing Wtf a nail in my tacos that's not ok

    Menu prices aren't what the charge you and up changed from receipt 2 10 dollar chicken quesadillas up changed to $35 charge to my card... Beans and rice were old Quesadilla and chips were good but the chicken was old as well as No guacamole in or sour cream in the bag that i asked for... won't be going here again... Ur new you should correct prices and fresh food sad wasco needed good food

    Quesabirria
    Victoria T.

    Looking for a late dinner while visiting family. My Tia recommended this place. It's right on the main drag with plenty of parking out front. You walk in and the place is nice and clean and the menu is straightforward. Looks like a small crew so just be prepared to wait for your food a bit. We went on a Saturday night and there was a steady stream of folks. The flautas had a great crisp and the sauces were really flavorful. The quesabirria though smaller than some other places I've been too but the flavor was amazing and had lots of meat. My husband really enjoyed his barbacoa tacos on the homemade corn tortillas.

    We stop by to have a late dinner since our son had a football game here. This restaurant specifically states, "closes" at 9pm. It was approximately 8:14pm, ordered our food. Then we were told "it is only for to go orders" since they close at 9pm we will not be able to eat inside the restaurant. Therefore, correct closing should indicate 8pm/8:30pm. The food was actually pretty good. I ordered a mulita, it was well seasoned and cheesy, which was the best part. My partner order a torta de cabesa, which I had to try and it was delicious. Bread/meat was soft and very well seasoned. Overall the food was pretty good. Note: This little restaurant charges for refills and chips and salsa. Which most restaurants have been converting to this due to cost of goods have increased. Lastly, although I mentioned the food was pretty good. I will not be coming to this restaurant for the way way we were all treated. The only reason why we still ate here, because it was the only place open and we were craving for some Mexican food. Which ended up being a bad idea.

    Asada burrito that was supposed to be no beans yes rice has beans and no rice
    Raquel M.

    Order got lost in translation as we were specific with a no bean yes rice asada burrito but got the opposite...full beans no rice. Hubby always asked for grilled onions on the side and they were missing. He asked for a side of guac and got salsa de guac....not the same thing. Just check your order when you pick it up to ensure you get what you specified.

    Tacos de tripas

    Tacos had very little cilantro mostly onion. tripas way overcooked. No substance. Tacos expensive and small. Sope also small and no great

    Kids quesadilla and French fries
    Adriana H.

    I'm not from this town. So I was really iffy about coming to this place because of the 3 1/2 stars. Also because a lot of reviews were stating they experienced bad customer service. Despite it all I still went. Not only did I experience GREAT customer service (literally every worker smiled at me) the food was just as great! I actually held a conversation with one of the workers. I didn't get her name. I wish I did because she was really nice. I ordered 3 shrimp tacos, 2 fish tacos and a kids quesadilla with French fries. I substituted the rice and beans. First let me tell you the shrimp tacos are sooo good! So are the fish but the shrimp was my favorite! The tortillas are handmade! That should tell you something. I also snuck a bite from my sons quesadilla. They actually use good quality cheese. They had 3 different salsas all very good. One was a guacamole green salsa, tomatillo salsa and a spicy red salsa. All very authentic. Here a couple pictures of my experience!

    I'm not sure what this is in my asada fries, but it was super hard.

    Tacos are okay , not the best. Also definitely over priced , Tacos just fall apart and don't have a lot of flavor.

    My favorite place to be on Taco Tuesday. The food is tasty, the fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

My Huevos Rancheros was delicious. Nice sauce topped eggs with lovely rice and beans. Hubby's Chili Colorado and eggs made him so happy. He said it was the best Chili Colorado that he has had in a long time. It had wonderful texture, cooked with love to develop all that spicy silky goodness like he loves it. Served with fluffy scrambled eggs, rice and beans. Fresh tortillas which I think were house made, and delivered to our table by a sweet lady. She definitely gave off those Tia/Abuelita vibes. We felt like we had been invited into someone's home for a family meal. If you need fancy, this isn't that kind of place. But, if you want fabulous food and friendly service you don't want to miss this gem. Thank you for a great Breakfast. We will be back to sample more items.

Plus just seeing the whole family come together as a team to make the family business run smoothly. You see the grandma & grandpa from aunts to uncles.

Thank you guys for the delicious menudo and I will definitely be back here with my friends and family.
