My friends and I stopped in for lunch and had a great time. Everyone was so friendly and the service was amazing. We got the enchiladas, super steak burrito, and milanesa torta. Food was yummy and fresh to order. Thank you!!

“Favorite chilaquiles in the city.”
Favorite chilaquiles in the city. They’re cooked together with scrambled egg. Chips absorb that salsa but are still crunchy. The carne asada is really special. Good quality meat, tender and juicy. Somehow it tastes charcoal grilled even though it’s made inside on the griddle. Burritos are bomb. Salsa verde is powerful spicy & they have a nice mild tomato red salsa with fresh cilantro that is a good counter to the hot hot green. The family that runs the business is very sweet.

“Family owned and operated restaurant.”
Family owned and operated restaurant. They'll remember you here, for sure! Very friendly service, sometimes a little bit of a wait as they make it to order and can get busy! Recommendations: #1 Chile relleno tacos! Also like their daily specials, beef tacos, homemade chips and salsa, Beef Tongue / Lengua tacos Very cheap daily specials including a can of soda! You will get free chips and salsa if you dine in! Wheelchair access!! They have an indoor wheelchair elevator at the front door ❤️

“4-26-2022 2 way combo with chicken shawarma and gyros.”
4-26-2022 2 way combo with chicken shawarma and gyros. So good. The gyros is not an actual combo item on the menu, but they are very accommodating. Everyone is always nice here. 10-20-2021 5 stars for their chicken shawarma and customer service. That’s saying a lot because I usually hate chicken shawarma. I haven’t have the lamb chops or shank yet, but everything else is pretty standard. -beef shawarma: decent and flavorful. Kind of tastes like steak with A1 sauce -chicken kabob: not as flavorful or tasty as the chicken shawarma. Also a bit dry -kefta kabob: dry, chewy and bland -lentil soup: very good. Heartier than other lentil soups I’ve had elsewhere I always get half dill rice and half yellow rice. I like them both. FYI they charge for extra sauce now.

Food is good. Service is awesome. The steak tacos are delicious. The super burritos are very filling and large. The chips and salsa are great. The green salsa has a good kick to it and is spicy with flavor. Everything on the menu is made fresh to order. Street parking is available for pay. I would recommend this spot.

“Discovered this little spot some years back.”
Discovered this little spot some years back. The tacos are delicious, especially the chicken tacos. The salsa is very good as well. Not all that expensive either. Highly recommend this spot.

Food was tasty, staff was nice and friendly, but the portions were a little small for the price, the Chile rellenos and the flautas were smaller then my hand, for $13.50, it would be nice if they were a little bigger, other then that everything was good
