    This was our third time dining here, and once again they did not disappoint. We actually come from…read moreout of town, and whenever we're nearby, this is one of our go-to spots. The consistency and quality keep bringing us back. We ordered the Shrimp al Mojo de Ajo, Carnitas Torta Ahogada, and the Cielo, Mar y Tierra Fajitas. Every dish was delicious, packed with flavor, and prepared perfectly. The shrimp was well-seasoned, the torta ahogada was satisfying and full of flavor, and the fajitas offered an excellent combination of meats and seafood. One of the highlights of this restaurant is their salsa selection. They have some of the best salsas around, and the fresh chips paired with the grilled onions are the cherry on top. Those little extras make the experience even better. Great food, consistent flavors, and quality service every time. It's worth the drive for us, and we'll definitely continue stopping by whenever we're in the area.

And I cannot express in words how excited I was for this location to open up a few years back. So if you're tired from shopping head on over to the restaurant for delicious tacos! Or drop in for taco Tuesday when their street tacos are a little over $2 each. I usually order the carnitas (drooling, has the right amount of soft and crispy bites), carne asada, shrimp and fish tacos! I have also tried the quesadilla which is packed with meat so there's bang for my buck. They put a good amount of meat on the tacos and toppings as well, so I get full pretty fast because of all the protein. Can't forget to mention the complimentary, fresh salsa bar with the grilled onions and jalapeños! The chips are mostly fresh, I have gone on some days where it appears and tastes like the chips were double fried and stale. But overall, on most days, the chips are warm and fresh. The staff are friendly, hard-working and they keep the place spotless and clean! It's a taqueria I have gone to several times in the past and will keep going back to for the refreshing margaritas, yummy tacos and excellent customer service. FYI- I believe they offer slightly lower prices if you pay with cash versus paying with card so it might be a helpful thing to know for people who carry cash.

Lots of different salsas and toppings to try. I think the drinks are $7-10. I love this place. I have to drive almost an hour to get here but I try to time it out right if I'm in the area as they open at 6pm though they were serving people earlier one time so maybe they're flexible. The seasoning on both the asada and the pork with pineapple is amazing. They have the pork on the spinning thing so it's super juicy. The asada has a flat grill char. It's just so tasty. I tried the baked potatoes for the first time at this location and it was a little bland but they add packets of salt. I got home and added things to my liking and it's one of my favorite meals. I get it with carne asada. It can feed multiple people/ servings. The pina was delicious but I imagine it may get watered down throughout the night. Street parking only as they're on the corner of a Main Street.

    The tacos tasted great, but I left feeling confused about the pricing. The posted price for pastor…read moretacos was $3 each. I ordered 4 tacos and one large drink, paid with a $20 bill, and received only $1 back. No receipt was provided and no explanation of the charges was given. Good food is important, but so is trust. Customers should receive a clear total and a receipt when paying. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.

The atmosphere is vibrant but still comfortable, and the restaurant itself is spotless and beautifully maintained, which immediately sets it apart. The food? Absolutely incredible. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The portions are very generous, you definitely get your money's worth, and then some. Every bite had bold, authentic flavor, and nothing felt rushed or low quality. The salsa bar deserves its own mention, it had everything you could want, from classic options to more unique flavors. But what really stood out were the fried jalapeños and onions... those alone are worth coming back for. Seriously addictive. It's rare to find a place that nails everything, food quality, portion size, cleanliness, and atmosphere, but this place does it effortlessly. Easily a 10/10. I'll definitely be coming back again and again.

All day lunch special is my regular order. 3 street tacos rice and beans for $14. Cannot beat that. I love a salsa bar and this spot has a good one. 5 different salsa options from mild to paint thinner, endless chips, pickled carrots and fresh crema and limes. It's literally every Mexican food junkies dream.

The consomme was made from the broth used to slow cook the beef used in the quesabirrias. The quesabirrias were delicious when dipped in the consomme. They were swerved with onions and cilantro on the side, however would have benefited from more veggies. The carne asada nachos were yummy! The nachos contained tomato, onion, cilantro, guacamole, jalapenos, radishes, carne asada, and cheese under fresh tortilla chips. All the ingredients were of high quality and tasted delicious together. Complimentary chicharrones de harina were served with hot sauce. This is the first time I've been to a restaurant that served complimentary chicharrones de harina. Chicharrones de harina are a Mexican snack that are made from fried wheat flour. Service was good as the workers were friendly and polite. They were short staffed so service was slower than if they were properly staffed. It was surprisingly busy around 2pm on a weekday.
