“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.”
“Good food decently priced a little oversalted. That salsa they bring out will light you on fire”
“Me compre un gordita dinner de carne asada con agua de piña y todo excelente! La carne bien sazonada y doradita a la perfección nos vemos pronto!”
“Burrito de carne asada esta bueno. Steak burrito is good. Thank you”
“Everything I tried was great! No lie yall the taco dinner was the best. And I tried this thing called a gordita I believe it's called, it's like a stuffed taco shell 😋🤤😋🤤😋🤤😋🤤🤤🤤 omg it was so good”
“Small but great place for a quick lunch or dinner. It's also open for breakfast :D will be going back to try it soon”
“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.”
