Some noted
Ate there twice. First time it was excellent with great food and service. Ate there today and it was not good.
Very cheap ingredients, terrible cheese, tortillas and streak. Way too high of prices for the quality of product.
Stay away from this place. Every time i order via Uber Eats or via phone they always mess up the order.

“We stopped by on a limb, we were dropping someone off.”
We stopped by on a limb, we were dropping someone off. We were pleasantly surprised. Our server was amazing and attentive. She really set the mood for an amazing visit. We came in on a Saturday afternoon had a variety of plates from tacos, caldos and chicken tenders everything was hot and delicious. We would definitely make the drive again and recommend this restaurant to anyone.

“My wife and I both love Mexican food.”
My wife and I both love Mexican food. We used to live in Nevada where excellent Mexican food is very easy to find. We are always on the lookout for a great Mexican restaurant and we found one! The young woman at the counter was very helpful and courteous. I had the chicken torta and my wife had a cheese enchilada. The chicken torta was the best I have ever had in my life! My wife loved her cheese enchilada! I hope that many people will give this restaurant a try so that they can make it. Excellent service and excellent food!

“This has been my favorite Mexican restaurant for over six years.”
This has been my favorite Mexican restaurant for over six years. The food is always spectacular, I've had almost everything on the menu and I can say with confidence that the chefs here know what they are doing! I highly recommend the Pastor, I've never had anything like it, the seasoning is on point and so flavourful. Try this place out you will not regret it!

“Great Mexican food; bright, clean, uncluttered restaurant.”
Great Mexican food; bright, clean, uncluttered restaurant. The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable, the portions are very generous, and the quality is much better than many surrounding places. The salsa for the chips is very thin, but the flavor is amazing! Ended up here by accident, I easily drove past 10 taquerias to get here, but I WILL be returning many times.

“This is by far our favorite Mexican restaurant to go to.”
This is by far our favorite Mexican restaurant to go to. We've been going here for years and no one else cooks steak tacos like they do. The way steak tacos are supposed to be cooked are seared so the edges are slightly burnt and crispy. We've tried so many other places and they all lack flavor. If you have not tried their steak tacos yet, come try and see what I'm talking about.

“I tried the tacos.”
I tried the tacos. The chicken taco was nicely seasoned. The shrimp was really delicious and well made. It was delicious and the portion was good. The price was bit high. They have a good dining space and the service was good and faster. They had a pretty good menu options to choose.

“Do not recommend.”
Do not recommend! Had my boyfriend pick up food for the first time here and the food is poor quality. Horrible!!!! My food had something in, the first bite in the burrito had a hard piece of something. Food smelt bad. Never again. Save your money and time and get some real Mexican food, else where.

“The tacos, rice and beans, nachos, cheese fries, horchata, and flan are delicious.”
The tacos, rice and beans, nachos, cheese fries, horchata, and flan are delicious. Haven't tried anything else there but it's always fresh. Sometimes they get the order incorrect but everything I've had here has been really good!

The food is a little pricey compared to the area where I live but I must say - the food is absolutely delicious and a great value. The flavor is so authentic, portion sizes were generous, and the staff is sweet. Thank you for a very delicious lunch with our friends!
