“Delicioso, limpio, y económico... El dueño está allí siempre (Guapísimo por cierto) Así que sabes que te van a atender bien.”
“Excellent cook, good food, good location been coming here for a very long time”
“The Pizza Birria was delicious! Staff and service were great. The agua de horchata was not my favorite but the agua de pepino was incredibly fresh!”
“Verdadero sazón Méxicano, menudo muy delicioso, así como los tacos también, de tripa súper recomendados. 👍”
“I love the birria. I came here once and constantly come back. The birria is spicy but its very good and they not cheap in the meat. Service is good, food good, music good. Can't complain!”
“Delicious food, great vibes with my friends ! Definitely recommend coming here… but damn you guys DRAGGGED getting the food out despite the restaurant not even being busy… 4/5”
“The food was great !! The atmosphere was fine The only reason why I gave them four stars on service is because I had to wait longer to get my check then I had to wait for my food”
“First time here... Very small tacos! Definitely overpriced! Quesabirria on 18th gives a larger portion to explain $18 pricing! Taste was mid... that is all.”
“Ordered Torta Dinner through the drive thru. It took a while (15 min) but was pretty good. My first thoughts on the torta were that it kinda looked like a panini. The flavors were all there. Would probably call ahead next time.”
“The best chilaquiles rojos I ever had so far. Definitely coming back!”
