Secondly, the staff, including the manager, are very friendly and professional. Thirdly, the place is spotlessly clean and there's a shady patio. Finally, the food was excellent. We shared the lamb barbacoa, which is only available on weekends. It was a very generous portion of tender lamb shoulder served with an unctuous consume, silky bean puree, and other condiments. We also had some guacamole, which was tasty but needs more lime and salt.

Everything tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. We ordered the carne asada and carnitas, and both were amazing. The meat was tender, flavorful, and not fatty at all just perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. My daughter had the bean and cheese burrito with rice and beans and loved it too. They bring out three different salsas with the chips, and each one had its own unique flavor. You can tell the chips are house-made because they're fresh, crisp, and just really good. Some Mexican restaurants can make things overly salty, but everything here tasted balanced and fresh. I also had a Paloma and it was made perfectly. Before we left we decided to try the churros and I'm so glad we did. They were filled with this amazing cream and came with a caramel sauce for dipping. I'm not usually a big dessert person, but these were seriously incredible. Great location, great service, amazing food, and everything tasted fresh and well made. We will definitely be back!

Got the fajitas that came with shrimp, chicken and beef and flour tortilla. It's a bit expensive but comes with a lot of food that you can split with 2 people. Also includes chips with small guac/salsa. As for the food itself, the chicken was a bit dry. Didn't really like the flavor of the shrimp. The beef, veggies and rice were good. The salsa and guac didn't have much flavor. Might need to come back and try something different next time.

I watched the first half of Spain/Belgium in the quarterfinals and Argentina/England in the semifinals. There are TV's where every table can see. Usually they will have a mix of movie, a novela, or a Liga MX game on. With the World Cup, they have the game on all TVs and the sound on too. The lunch crowds were larger than normal for the two games. Most of us had finished our food and were waiting for half time before we left. It isn't a bar, but for noon time futbol, it is a great atmosphere.

We sat at a table for 6, there were only 2 of us, but if we were asked, we would have happily welcomed others - community tables are a great way to meet folks. The menu is simple, all the options that are typically found on a Mexican restaurant menu. We happened to dine on the day where birria was the special; birria plate or quesa birria tacos. I opted for the tacos. They're served tacos only, I ordered a side of beans. My bestie had chicken taquitos, served with rice and beans. The salsa fresca was good, not spicy though. We asked for other salsa options and our server brought us their salsa verde and their spicy salsa. The salsa verde wasn't at all spicy, and the flavor was forgettable. The spicy salsa, which they sell in glass bottles will put hair on your chest. We added it to everything to kick things up a bit. It was good, and hot. Just the way we like. The food was fresh, and it filled our bellies...I just don't think it was good enough for us to make the short drive. Our local favorite spot wins the flavor profile on the quesa birria tacos and it's close to home . Service was speedy even though there was only one server. But again, the place started filling and by the time we were ready to pay, the server was juggling priorities.

I've only had one item from the menu so far but it was above and beyond my expectations. I expected…read morethe earthquake fries to be a classic surf and turf offering but the sauce and ratios were well balanced. Shrimp was succulent. Fries were battered style and stayed crisp through the whole meal even when drenched with sauce. I understand why this dish popped up on social media feeds. Will be going back to try more of their offerings since I need to know if everything else is at this level. Great outdoor patio seating spot if you're COVID conscious, too. Being attached to a cute local market is a bonus.

Order kiosk or you can place your order with the nice lady at the window also - We ordered , chicken n carne asada tacos, side of rice and a pastor quesadilla. Everything tasted really good. Our only wish is the quesadilla was prepared more flat vs rolled like a semi-quasi burrito. Now salsa, the red is burn your mouth fire hot!!! The green is really good though and much milder. However a mix of both works also. Price point is good also. We will definitely return .. next I want to try a burrito or the taquitos. Give it a go, it doesn't disappoint!!

I felt kind of guilty knowing that based on the price, there can't be much of a profit margin, but she still made me the special with a smile and enthusiasm. Honestly, it made me feel like one of my friend's moms was cooking for me when I was a kid. I dug through my wallet looking for cash but only had a 10. Of course she adamantly refused to take it and almost chased me to try to get me to take the change. I didn't. I actually wanted to leave her a 20. She's got a customer for life.

The food is bland, the ingredients haven't tasted fresh, and the overall quality seems fairly low. The service and atmosphere haven't been very welcoming either. The woman behind the counter is not particularly friendly and has come across as rude during my visits. After multiple chances, I can't recommend this place. The food isn't good enough to overlook the unfriendly and uncomfortable atmosphere, and I don't plan on returning. There are better options nearby.

I got the asada tacos with everything, and my honey had the mojada burrito with green sauce and all the fixings. OMG straight fire. The salsa was fresh and spicy, just how I like it. And they don't skimp someone literally comes out the side door to take your order like it's a secret spot, and they pile those tacos high with meat. I mean, I was full after two and had to save the third for later. We also grabbed three plain asada tacos for our little one to keep it simple with her diet, and even those were packed with flavor. One thing I loved? The pickled veggies they give you to pair with your food no need to ask for salsa or extras. They just hook it up automatically. The total came out to $32 and honestly? Worth every penny. I'm beyond satisfied. We're definitely coming back.
