“Steak torta meat was cold no flavor no salt just bland. The size was small too for the price bread was STALE!”
“Horrible service‼️‼️ They do have parking, which is nice, but honestly, that was probably the best part of the visit. Service was disappointing from the start. We waited about 10 minutes before our server even came over, and when he finally did, he just said “what do you want” no greeting, no explanation of the menu or drinks, nothing.it was rushed and very rude There was also a light above our table flickering nonstop. It was so distracting that we ended up moving to another table just to get away from it. Not exactly the most comfortable environment. The food came out quickly, which we appreciated, but unfortunately, the quality didn’t match. We tried the tacos de asada and al pastor. While they were packed with meat, the flavor just wasn’t there. And at almost $5 a taco, that was pretty disappointing. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place. Between the bad service, uncomfortable vibe, and overpriced food, it’s not somewhere I’d go back to. Espanol- Tienen estacionamiento, pero la verdad, eso fue lo unico bueno. Desde que llegamos, el servicio fue muy malo. Esperamos como 10 minutos para que el mesero viniera, y cuando llegó, solo dijo “Qué quieren” Sin saludo, sin decirnos qué había de tomar, nada. Muy grosero. También había una luz arriba de nuestra mesa que no paraba de parpadear. Estaba tan molesta que tuvimos que cambiarnos de mesa La comida salió rápido, pero no estuvo rica. Pedimos tacos de asada y al pastor. Sí tenían bastante carne, pero sabían feo. Y casi $5 por taco.. demasiado caro para lo que es. No recomiendo este lugar. Mal servicio, mal ambiente y comida cara que no sabe bien. No regreso.”
“Embarrassed to have recommended this place to my work buddies. No where near what it was like before. $5 tacos smaller than their napkins & mostly filled with cilantro & onion.”
“La peor masa para tortillas/sopes .. no recomiendo, never again I do not recommend . Mi jefa ni pudo quitarse la masa de sus manos, esta muy pegajoso , DO NOT BUY , y huele a panochon”
“Fui por primera vez a este lugar recomendado por compañeros de trabajo. El sabor de los tacos. Y el servicio al cliente Es muy bueno lo único malo es que sólo aceptan efectivo”
“Everything here is so good especially my favorite the banana milkshake and pickles!! Always great when you are out late with friends. Everyone is kind and service is fast! make sure to bring cash”
“We stopped for lunch, they have pickled vegetables instead of chips and salsa. They were very tasty and not to spicy. Good size portions. Great comfort food if you like Mexican food. We had tortas and they offer natural milkshakes and fruit and vegetable juices.”
“The food here is so good, it might just make your taste buds dance! The restaurant is nothing fancy—think cozy simplicity rather than gold-plated chairs—but that’s part of the charm. It’s the perfect spot to catch up with friends, share laughs, and eat without worrying about tiny napkin folds or fancy lighting. The food does all the talking, and honestly, it’s got quite a lot to say.”
