I came to this restaurant and the service was great. I was offered a complimentary tamal as an appetizer as I waited for my food to come out.

“No estoy muy seguro si son nuevos dueños y empliados.”
No estoy muy seguro si son nuevos dueños y empliados. La comida estaba excellente. Sali del trabajo ahoy pensando ahorita me voy hechar un bistec en salsa verde o unos tacos quesabirria. Pero sali alas 10:40 no vi que ya estaban cerrados. Muy buen ambiente, el servicio muy amable y la comida esta deliciosa. I will be back for more. Super delicious. 100% recommended to my friend and anyone passing by. The salsas they bring out are tasty got some kick to it. I understand some you people can't handle heat so avoid the light green one if you're one of those. Even better the tortillas they gave me for my bistec en salsa verde were hand made. Nothin like tortillas hechas a mano.

“The cashier/waitress is personable.”
The cashier/waitress is personable. The cook made my tacos delicious. I definitely recommend this place. I ordered tacos to go and while I say they gave me chips and salsa while I waited.
