    Barbacoa tacos
    Julie M.

    New Mexican restaurant. Love the decor and the music, it creates a fun atmosphere. Barbacoa and chicken is pretty good. We got the sopes and tacos and really enjoyed them.

    Great tacos and fresh ingredients. I think they fry the tortillas before they serve them. No liquor license yet.

    I was hungry late at night and just so happened to be in the area when I discovered this place…read more Only two other people were there as it was close to closing time but the lady working the counter was very inviting. She helped me pick some of the tacos I ordered as well. The birria here is what I recommend the most as well as the shrimp taco. The lady was kind enough to change my agua fresca when I admitted I didnt enjoy the first one! That customer service goes a long way.

    I was looking for a taco spot with tacos under $3/each and this spot was at the top of my list…read more Not only that, they have fast casual service, which is easy for takeout. Right off of Jimmy Carter in Norcross, on a block away back street. This location is in a fun shopping center with TONS of free parking, so I just had to pull up. The restaurant is big, like 2x bigger than most resin the area. I ordered classic cilantro, lime, onion on corn tortilla tacos: 4 tacos al pastor (pork) 2 chorizo (pork) The meat didn't have that sear on it or any crispy bits, but was still tender, flavorful, and not too oily. 4 different salsas to choose from here, all are delicious and complimentary with your food. Also, ordered a Torta Milanesa (beef) - Fluffy bun and even better than the tacos, if I must say. Maybe this milanesa just hit a craving for me that I didn't know I had, but it was kinda romantic. Pour salsa on every bite and maybe even some lime. Cashier is very nice, line is fast. Atmosphere is clean, filled with tables full of families that you can tell meet up here weekly. If I lived closer, I would definitely visit for their weekday lunch special platters.

    Outstanding food! Drove over an hour with the kids and we all loved it!!…read more We'll definitely be back!!

    The food was actually superb. But, I don't like their deceptive pricing. Like would you like this…read moreand this. And you can actually get half and half. Then the menu prices become inflated without any notice. But for one of the "upgrades" or whatever the reasoning for the extra charge, it was only shredded lettuce along with a small dollop of sour cream and guacamole. It was rather sad. It's something you'd get standard at a chain restaurant like El Sombrero. Oh. If you get the consome, it will be an extra charge of $2.45. And they won't tell you that. But other than that, the food was good! I really liked how they had a separate birrias menu. Make sure you bring wet wipes because your hands will be oily. The birria sliders were delicious. Our strange total came out to be $16.90. Even with the $2.45 consome factored in, the total isn't $15.40. Since they were sliders, it's rather small. They're the size of the square dinner rolls but packed full of cheese, oil, and half chicken and beef. The beef was slightly more tasty compared to the chicken but both was just soaked with their variety of flavors. The birria quesadillas were $17.40. Even with the extra $2.45 with the consome, their math is not equaling $15.95 -- whacky! As for the taste profile, deliciousness. These three quesadillas were pretty massive. And like my sliders, they were equally oily and messy to consume. The horchata was really tasty. For a large, it was $6.75. It tasted different from other places. There was a nice rice flavor to it and less of the cinnamon flavor. Would I visit again? I think not. Good food. Prices were bleh, especially how it seems like we were charged more than their menu prices.

    Always great to have a late night food option. More satisfying than QuikTrip, if you're looking for…read moresomething more than junk food and more consistent in quality and service than Denny's for delivery or takeout. I've had the birria queso tacos here, which are great. This is not my go-to spot for them, but to know I can get them at any hour if I haven't eaten yet is helpful. So far, besides the tacos, the tamales are probably my second favorite item here. The red pork ones are good, although I believe I've had the green ones too - also yummy. They are nice and juicy and plump, not skimpy like some places. The drinks are also good here. Very refreshing. I ordered the steak fries recently and also tried the ground beef enchiladas. I probably wouldn't get both items again, even though they were not bad. I think the fries for me would just be better fresh if I had picked them up and ate them immediately. But I do appreciate they took the care to package everything nicely (the cold toppings) to be assembled later. The enchiladas were more traditional (not with heavy sauce or lots of melted cheese). I tend to prefer the Tex-Mex style where it's smothered. This just comes down to my personal preference. Definitely check them out if you need a late night meal option or are at the gas station. I will definitely keep trying more items from them when I need a late night meal.

    Food is consistently good. Service is always quick. Ambiance is surprising for the location.read more
