Don't expect to leave stuffed, the portions are on the small side, but they're adequate for a lunch and fair for the price. The problem was the crunchy taco. It was so stale it was inedible. I let our waiter know, and to his credit he was very nice about it and said he appreciated me flagging it and would let the kitchen know. Whether that message ever made it back, I couldn't tell you. What he didn't do was offer to make a fresh one or take it off the bill. It was just, here's your check, thanks for coming in, and I paid full price for food I couldn't eat. This felt out of character. I've had a good meal at their other location, so I know they can do better. Disappointed this time on both the food quality and the way the service issue was handled.

Had some different Mexican foods in addition to burritos and tacos. The Cheese and beef pupusa- thick griddle cake made with cornmeal and stuffed with cheese and chicken. Also served with picked cabbage (sorry no photo). Was great, but thick tasting due to the cornmeal. Liked it enough that I would order again. The sopas were also very tasty and I would order again. The tacos were a great price at $2.99 each, sorry forgot to take photo- my crew was hungry. Ice cream for dessert- $3.50 landed us 3 scoops of homemade ice cream. They also have a variety of fruit drinks and shaved ice desserts with fruit. I would definitely recommend this place for hungry students as it's near Purdue University.

The burrito was massive and it was salty. It was full. I am not mad about how much was inside. It was loaded and worth the price. Adding salsa to it helped take off some of the salty taste. The menu is huge and there are so many options to chose from. I'd definitely be back to try something else. The cocktails were not my favorite and they were overpriced for what they were. Also they do celebrate bdays. My sister got a sombrero to wear while they sang and brought some fried ice cream. Always a nice treat!

ALL that food for less than $24 (tacos were $3.99 each). The carne asada had some kind of marinade (almost like al pastor) that I am not used to, so it overpowered the asada. The condiments to pour on the tacos is okay (I actually used Tapatio from home instead). The portion of asada was super generous!!! I am used to sliced radishes at the side, but the cucumber slices were a nice and a refreshing different replacement. (I wanted to like the asada but it didn't hit the spot.). The carnitas was tender and tasty but too much skin and fat (but that is my fault for not knowing to ask: 'Una orden de carnitas, sin cuero y sin gordito.'- translation: 'An order of carnitas, without skin and without fat.'

I think y'all should give it at least one try and let me know what y'all think :) NOTE: The carnitas was even tastier the next day for leftovers and the asada tastes better as well.
