    I would like to start off my review saying that the food is good the portion received was good as well the tortillas definitely great the service was decent. Stood waiting for an employee that was cleaning I placed a phone order for a half pound of carnitas and a carnitas torta. I understand that carnitas are cooked with oil, but the amount of grease in my order was excessive. The half pound of carnitas was so greasy that I could not even open the container without getting grease on my hands. The carnitas torta was also heavily soaked in grease, to the point where the bottom bun absorbed it and there was still grease sitting on the plate. I have ordered carnitas from other restaurants before and have never received them with this much grease. It seemed like the food may have been taken straight from the fryer or cooking area and placed directly onto the plate without being properly drained. I would have had no issue waiting a few extra minutes if that meant the food was prepared and served properly. Overall, I was very disappointed with the quality of the order. This experience makes me hesitant to return in the future, and I hope this can be addressed so other customers do not have the same issue. Below are images of what my order looked like upon inspection. As shown in the photos, there was an excessive and unnecessary amount of grease in the food. This appears to be the result of the carnitas not being properly drained before being served. The amount of grease affected the overall quality of the meal and made the order very disappointing.

    The food was really good and made to order. Nice people and good service. Glad I didn't turn into Wendy's.

    Food was delicious. I had been looking for a place that sells actual carnitas and chicharrones since I moved here. Highly recommend!

    First time and certainly not the last. I had the birria tacos and dang they were delicious. The…read moremeat was a melt in your mouth tasty treat. The guacamole was very good toon The service was great! Can't wait to go back next week! Failed to take pics but I was hungry.

    We were passing thru this area on a road trip and stopped here due to good Yelp! reviews and my…read morelove for Mexican restaurants. We were seated immediately and the food came out pretty fast. Hubby enjoyed his fajitas and loved the chips and salsa. He actually finished two little salsa bowls while we were there. I have an affinity for birria so was excited to see the birria burrito on the menu. However, I really didn't want all of the burrito fillings so was excited when hubby pointed out the "quesabirria" (yep, birria in a quesadilla). The excitement was lessened once I got my food. It was way too cheesy for my tastes. The cheese overpowered the birria. I ended up opening them to just eat the meat and then eating some of the remaining tortilla as if I'd just ordered a cheese quesadilla on the side. I wish I'd looked thru the taco portion of the menu to see if birria was an option. That probably would've suited me better. Since we were child free and the drink menu prices were beyond reasonable, I ordered a skinny coconut margarita. It was tasty and yet there was a bit too much ice. Hubby tried to get a virgin drink but the only option for virgin was daiquiri. Would I stop in here again? Yes!
