“Stopped here last night and let me tell you…it was just as good if not better than it was 30 years ago.”
Stopped here last night and let me tell you…it was just as good if not better than it was 30 years ago. I ordered the pastor burrito and it didn’t disappoint at all. Huge and full of flavor. The meat was seasoned perfect and tender. The salsa was extremely good and exactly how I remember. The staff was friendly and very prompt. Got us our chips and salsa fast, took our order fast, and food came out really fast too. 10 out of 10 would recommend you give this place a try.

“Perfect restaurant for takeout or dine in.”
Perfect restaurant for takeout or dine in. Been here hundreds of times, this is their best location IMO. Reliable and open late. Great chips and salsa or guacamole especially when the jalapenos are ripe. Everything is good, Bistec a la Mexicana if you want the good steak.

“I've been eating here consistently since 1997.”
I've been eating here consistently since 1997. Let me just say, the owners/employees are the same as I remember from over 25 years ago. Always busy, always consistently delicious, great service. No brainer to eat here any chance you get, awesome late night stop after a night out. I love the giant deep fried burrito (chimichanga).

“My favorite thing here is the nachos.”
My favorite thing here is the nachos. Even with the prices rising everywhere, I feel like the amount of food you get it still worth the price even when you request additional cost toppings. I had to post a review this time because I was so happy with the amount of tomatoes they put on my nachos!

“Their tacos are so fire.”
Their tacos are so fire. My wife loves them so much and she swears that they are only second to Taqueria on Central.

“Ordered here as a late night dinner.”
Ordered here as a late night dinner. It was really good! Tacos are packed with meat, gave us a ton of salsa. The side of beans w the chips was a nice touch. My husband liked his tortas. I would come here again. Not badly priced either. Paid $40 for 5 tacos, 2 tortas, beans, and a large horchata. Very good!

“I ordered take out there a few times while I was working on a house a mile away.”
I ordered take out there a few times while I was working on a house a mile away. Any way the food is great , i highly recommend the sopes de asada , avocado is a must. Tacos del pastor are great 👍 and the hot sauce is on point

“Stopped to get some tacos late at night after a concert.”
Stopped to get some tacos late at night after a concert. It was extremely busy, so we knew our wait time was going to be long. The tacos were worth the wait. They were very delicious!

“Really busy and popular place.”
Really busy and popular place. Everything is good, fresh ingredients. A bit expensive - two tacos and a drink will cost a little over $11. Taste and quality are good.

“I was recommended by a coworker to come here and it wasn't the best choice.”
I was recommended by a coworker to come here and it wasn't the best choice. The service was great but the food was very greasy and not what I had in mind. I will give them another chance. There's no music, the quietness is deafening. I think this would be a great late night place to eat when you're drunk.

“I have been here alot over the years and its always good food.”
I have been here alot over the years and its always good food. However today the women taking orders was extremely rude. Rolling her eyes, yelling, ect. Then when the order was ready she threw the food in the bag sideways so everything leaked.
