    I've never pulled so many strands of hair out of my food. Definitely won't be coming back here again.
    Christian L.

    DEFINITELY WON'T BE TRYING THIS PLACE AGAIN. I was halfway through my burrito and I just pulled out four strands of hair out of my food. I think I'll just stick to my usual spot. The service is better and I don't have to worry about getting someone's hair in my food since they actually wear hair nets

    I ordered a carne burrito tasty OK only pushback. It put more rice than meat. If the ratio was would be good customer service is good

    Asada,chorizo,cabeza,and buche.

    The tacos were good, the service was fast and friendly and always have to have the soccer playing on TV for the ambiance lol. This is the place to come after leaving Mi Hacienda Night club for that quick fix before heading home.

    Carne asada tacos

    Hair in my food sundae March 15 at 3:00.

    Hi, I ordered some food and it's got a big old hair in. It been trying to call and you guys don't pick up. We normally like this place but this is very disgusting.

    It had an oil leak!! Seriously!!

    This was by far the worst burrito I ever had at that place. I love the staff but for some reason they love to mix the carne asada with all the bottom grease. I tell them not to do it and they still do it. I won't be buying burritos there anymore. That was the a last straw.

    Cabeza burrito and cabeza tacos

    Food was great my dad said the tacos were great also the prices are amazing customer service was on point couldn't be happier with my visit

    I've been coming here for years and have always had good experience with the service and food. There is about 8 different types of meats so I normally get 8-10 tacos and a burrito. My favorite meats are the chorizo, asada, cabeza, and lengua. On Monday to Wednesday they close at 12am, but from Thursday to Sunday they close at 3am. Very few places opens this late so this place is one of my go to places especially late at night. The staff there are very friendly. I've never had an issue. The store itself isn't too big, but has a lot of seats and tables.

    Food is subpar. Meat lacks flavor and tortilla is a bit too hard. I'd rather pay more for better quality tacos.

    Food is the only reasoning I am giving 5 stars. The place wasn't super clean but wow tacos, burritos, and Menudo were amazing.

    Great flavors wonderful service, as well as a clean and enjoyable experience!…read more Chile verde wet burrito was really good. Carne Asada wet also very good. Salsa is one of my main barometers of good Mexican food and the roasted tomato and chile salsa was perfect!

    Went here for lunch because my sister had been wanting to try it for a while…read more Parking is a little weird because it's shared with a 7/11 convenience store and some spots are specifically reserved for 7/11. Still, I was able to find a spot quickly. Walking in, there's a sign that says "Wait to be seated", but when the waitress came out, she said we could sit wherever we wanted. We chose a booth by the window. I don't know how old this restaurant is, but I could tell that the booth we chose was really popular because the leather seats were so worn down that they had to patch some of the holes up. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately given menus, water, chips, and salsa. The salsa was really spicy, though, so as much as we love chips and salsa and would normally have finished it all off before our actual meal came, we could only eat half of it. Across from us was a big family of Latinos which for me was a good sign. After all, if they're Latino themselves, they could easily just make the same food at home, but if the food here was good enough for them to come here instead, then the food had to be decent. Since I'm vegetarian, I had to ask for them to not put meat in my enchilada, so the waitress just made it a cheese one. If you're vegetarian like me, there's not really much on the menu for us, but at least they're accommodating enough to leave the meat out if you ask. If you're vegan, you're really out of luck since it seems everything will have at least melted cheese on top. All of the food came out quickly and at the same time, which is appreciated since not all restaurants do that. In addition, the portions were big enough for us to eat most of it there, then be full enough to want to take the rest of it home, which makes up for the cost since it is a little expensive. Again, I don't know how old the restaurant is, but you could tell it's been aged through the years, like the paint is peeling off or splattered with what looked like salsa. Definitely a hole in the wall kind of place. On the other hand, if it's been around long enough to go through that kind of wear and tear, it's a testament to the loyalty of its customers. Plus, they do try to make it look nice with balloons, flowers, and flags. And they try to clean up the tables as soon as people are done eating. I just finished eating my leftovers and it tasted as good as it did when I ate it at the restaurant. So the food is good, the sizes, especially for the cost, are decent. Just know that the place is a little worn down, but the employees try their best to smile, be friendly, and quick to attend to your needs.

    Scarlett was fabulous! She made our experience a very enjoyable one. Great atmosphere, great…read moreservice, and delicious food. We had the butter cake for dessert- highly recommend!

    Oh boy was this place freakin' great! Ambience: This place…read morewas small but mighty. Super-clean all the way down to the toilet. Very nicely decorated with a great outdoor patio. Wait Staff: I wish I took the name of our waitress because she was awesome, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. All waiters/waitresses were great. Drinks: Unfortunately I didn't get any drinks because we kept seeing the brightly colored drinks and flights being served around us and I was jealous, they all looked awesome. Food: This is where it gets good because the food was A+++mazing. We started off with just the salsa, chips and for a nice surprise, some warm beans. The salsa brought a tear to my eye because it was soooo good. Luckily, my son doesn't eat salsa so I drank it all down. The chips were perfectly fresh and crispy. Guac: So, our waitress brought us some off the menu guac, and, WTF, why are they hiding this recipe from the rest of the world. I literally got into a fist fight with my son because he was trying to take it from me (not really) but I didn't want to share. The presentation was so cute too. Plantains + chips + guac = heavan Fajitas: I ordered fajitas and all boxes were checked, quantity, quality, and taste. I ordered the chicken and it was juicy and thick and perfectly seasoned. Steak tacos: My kid ordered the steak tacos and we brokered a deal to trade some steak for chicken and this was the best deal made since the New Deal (American history). Steak was chunky and juicy and fresh! The only problem with this place is that it is very far from my house as I was in the 'hood for my kids basketball tournament. If I am in the area you better believe that I will be back. Oh yeah, and very affordable for the upscale dining.
