“Underrated burrito spot, this place was a vibe cool staff and good quality food and if you like corridos playlist is fire”
“Steak and chicken tacos were excellent. Guacamole also very good. Salsas and rice too. Cute and clean restaurant. Saw two workers both very friendly. We look forward to coming back!”
“Decent taco place, there is small seating area inside. I got the tripe and tongue taco and they were good, they have bottles of hot sauce you can add yourself.”
“I have ordered from here many times and I do really like the chicken torta and Mexican fries. Sometimes they don't give you guacamole and pico with the Mexican fries which is disappointing.”
“Food was just okay. Not gross but not amazing. Portion sizes were good for the money.”
“The young lady behind the counter comes off prejudice. Served us veggie tacos only made of avocado and tomatoe - no other veggies. We dined in yet she gave us our tacos in a Togo bag. I asked for a plate 🍽️ while looking at plates on there shelves and she looked me in my face and said that’s how they serve them Service is horrible here. I do not recommend if you are BLACK!”
“The food was horrible. The customer service was terrible. I had to go check on my car constantly bc drug addicts were walking around in the parking lot looking extremely sketchy. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Don't waste your time or your money at this place.”
“Sad and disappointed. How do you mess up a taco? Can someone please tell me. I ordered for delivery and what a sad day. No red salsa and very very shy and dried asada tacos. Langua ok and the winner for the worse toco iiiissss PASTOR. Big chunk of fat the size of the whole taco. Never again”
“So today on 11/21/2024, I came to find out that one of my tacos contained RAW piece of chicken! Do not eat from cilantro! They will contaminate us! I am a pregnant woman and not only can it harm me but it can also contaminate my child. Very Disappointing and disgusting and I will be coming up there to let them know. How do you not know what y’all are putting in these tacos?”
“I honestly don't understand the complaints about portion sizes. If you've ever eaten in Houston you'll know portions are much smaller there. The servings are generous, filling and definitely worth the price. The food was delicious and came out fresh and the overall experience was great!”
