Probably the best tacos I've had in years. Possibly decades.

ordered the quesadilla dinner with cheese through uber eats. it’s a decent spot for a late night meal. the quesadilla and rice weren’t bad, but the beans were a little salty for my taste. i also want to mention that i did find stray bits of meat in my meal, probably from it being prepared near my friends’ tacos that had meat. i am a pescatarian, but i don’t mind if my food touches meat products. however, if you don’t eat meat and do care, this might not be the best option for you

The tacos are pretty good for the price. So I decided to switch it up and get the Gordita. I have to say it was not good. Mostly due to the tortilla. Probably should just remove from menu.

This place was absolutely disgusting. I am so saddened by this because they don’t charge cheap prices. The meat was 75% gristle and chewy we had to spit out most of it. It was completely terrifying the way these places charge top dollar and get the cheapest of cheapest meat and then mix it with gristle to make it even more meat. I’m so disappointed don’t get here

I ordered last night off of the toast app and when I tried to pick it up they told me that “because they didn’t have it in their system” I couldn’t get my food. The money came off of my card and everything but somehow they refused to honor it even with a clear pick up reciept

Amazing experience! Came here years ago for some margaritas that I heard were fire. This time around, I really wanted to watch the FIFA game at a bar and while walking by I saw there were TVs mounted on the wall playing the game. Servers were kind and attentive, including bar back. Amazing atmosphere with Dj Miami playing halftime and post show. I had at least a dozen beers and some flautas so I wasn’t on empty stomach! Will come back again.
