    Red tamales
    Christina M.

    The food is OK. The tamales are gross and the masa taste gross. On Tuesday they are $1.39 tamales and the breakfast burrito with chili inside is ok. I gave two stars for the ok burrito and fast service. Go down the street to Santiago's.

    Judging by what I've seen on the menu, there are so many options and choices to choose from. The burrito was quite huge but filling. I don't remember what was in the burrito exactly but it was quite good. It will definitely fill you up. The fries were okay and they would've been better if the fries were crunchier and crispier but the cheese made the fries soggy and soft. They were still good and edible.

    What I ordered: a bean and potato burrito with Chile and cheese inside. What they heard: a burrito with eggs, bacon, ham and a bunch of other shit. Seriously, this is not what I wanted.

    The variety is good, close and reasonably fast. This is not the kind of place you go for service.

    The beef tacos are soooo bomb. No chewy pieces of meat, shells are crispy and don't fall apart & the salsa is delicious!

    Ehhhh, I was really hopeful and wanted to like it but just didn't hit the mark for me and won't be…read morereturning. Nothing blew me away or was like oh I need to come back for this. It was all pretty good overall and eatable but that's about it. Restaurant itself was nice and had cute decor as well. Service left a bit to be desired though, especially for how many people were in the restaurant. Definitely give it a try for yourself! Didn't have a bad experience or anything, just left more to be desired for myself when it comes to eating out.

    So to start off with I am really picky about Mexican food. And a four for me means I would happily…read morego again and recommend it for others. We started off with queso fundido and two Aguas Frescas, the Jamaica and the Horchata. The drinks were delicious and refreshing and the queso fundido had a good flavor and was gigantic in fact, we ate almost the whole thing, and because we ate almost the whole thing we were already full by the time the rest of our food came out, but don't worry, dear reader we persevered. I got the steak fajitas and the meat was really yummy. The tortillas were perfect and their pico added just the right amount of spice. note for somebody who gets a lot of fajitas. There was no guacamole, sour cream or cheese. Just rice beans and pico, but I was happy. My table partner got Birria Xalisco. And said that the meet and consome was delicious and the blue masa cake might've been the best part. Wheelchair accessibility: there are several different seating options both inside and outside that work for a wheelchair user. The path of travel inside the restaurant is a little bit tight, and the path of travel back to the bathrooms is pretty tight and somebody with a larger chair might not be able to make it through. The bathroom door is super super heavy to where we had to have somebody else open it.
