    Bistec and pastor
    Vianey F.

    This is a good spot for authentic Mexican tacos, it is clean and has AC. The service is good and the orders come out pretty fast. The tortillas are homemade and all the meat choices are good. The red salsa is definitely my go to with the tacos because the green one is extremely spicy! My go to order is pastor tacos with the delicious horchata, but the tripita, shrimp and steak are super good too. I also recommend the menudo on the weekends, it's so good! This place is CASH ONLY so keep that in mind. They also have an ATM just in case. My only complaint will be the portions being served on the tacos now. They used to serve a really good portion of meat before and now seems like they have been lowering that amount. I've been a customer for years so I can definitely tell the difference.

    Not the best but definitely not the worse. I would not try again. The green hot sauce was great though if you like your hot sauce hot. Did not care much for the red. It was super smokey. I had the head meat the Chivo (goat) and something else. The head meat was OK the rest lacked freshness. Pros: Green hot sauce and fresh homemade corn tortillas and freshly cut cilantro and onion mix. Cons: Meat freshness, bland chicken not flavorful.

    This food is amazing. Worst thing about this place is they don't take credit cards and the menu isn't in English also but I don't mind looking up words I don't know. I would come here almost every day if they took credit cards

    The tacos are very big

    The best tacos you can have the tortilla is made by order and the green salsa is super hot.

    Al parecer cambiaron de cocinero por que la comida no sabe igual. Pedí tacos y las tortillas se rompe. Y la comida no tiene sabor.

    The homemade corn tortillas are good and the tortillas are nicely sized but i found the fillings to be lacking flavor.

The bartender was attentive, kind, and professional. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and you can tell they have loyal regulars, which always speaks well of a restaurant. The staff overall seemed consistent and friendly. Now for the food. I ordered the queso to start. The flavor was good, but it wasn't hot -- more lukewarm than fresh-out-the-kitchen warm. For my entrée, I had the skirt steak with beans, pico de gallo, enchilada, and rice. The flavors were solid, but again, the plate came out lukewarm. For a Tex-Mex spot, temperature really matters. I don't need it piping hot, but I do expect my food to feel freshly made and properly heated when it arrives. That was my only disappointment. I've ordered carryout before without issue, and because the service and vibe are strong, I will definitely be back to give it another try. I just hope next time the food comes out hot and fresh. Overall: great service, good flavors, strong local energy -- just room for improvement on food temperature.

Unfortunately, since the ownership change, the experience just hasn't been the same. The customer service is still decent, and I genuinely enjoy their spicy Mexican martini -- that's honestly the main reason I still stop by. However, the food quality has noticeably declined. Over the past year, I've experienced stomach issues after eating here, which had never happened to me before under the previous ownership. I'm not sure if it's a change in ingredients, preparation methods, or sourcing, but something is clearly different. It's disappointing because this used to be a go-to spot. I truly hope the new management takes a closer look at the food quality and consistency. There's a strong history here, and it would be great to see it restored.
