“Delicious Tacos rice beans chimichangas the customer service is top tier!!! Food Top TIER prices are perfecto!”

“I am a taco lover and baby they have a new customer! I love the chicken tacos. Perfect balance of meat, cilantro, and onions (I don’t eat lettuce). Only thing is it was very hot in the establishment but it’s super clean! Food 10/10, customer service 10/10, and establishment 9/10 (due to heat).”

“If you coming here❗️ they have no restrooms even to customers who dine in❗️&tacos were not it. They were hella watery & bland . Agua Fresca needs more attention.”

“Hoy fui a comprar en el lugar y me dieron el ticket de 45 dólares por dos platos de carne asada sin bebidas, pague con tarjeta y resultó que me habían cobrado 7 dólares más . Me demore media hora para que saliera mi pedido y no habían casi personas, la verdad no volveré ni mis amigos tampoco por deshonestos”
“Tacos a hit. Even the chicken tacos were seasoned to perfection. 👌🏽”
“There was no bathroom facilities, but the food was excellent, authentic mexican food... I'm glad I experienced these delicacy s. Thanx shorty...”
