“The chef is a lady who clearly puts her heart and soul into the food. My girl and I happened on here by chance and decided to go in for a quick bite. We ordered some carne asada tacos. The best tacos we’ve ever had, the quality, ingredients and execution made for an amazing experience. Hell, even their nachos with the house made salsa was amazing. Will definitely come back! Edit: they changed the chef, we came and ordered tacos and they were done very differently. :( still a great place, just feels unfortunate when you happen upon a gem and the glimmer is gone too soon after. S/o to whoever the previous lady chef was!”
“The food was so good and so fresh!! As a vegetarian, it was great that they had a whole vegan menu! The vegan pozole was amazing!!”
“I came here with family on a Thursday night. No other customers were present, so we were the only ones. The food is top-notch. I had the birria tacos, and they were so good. The meat was so tender, and the juice you dip the taco in was so flavorful. I highly recommend this place. If I’m ever in the area, I will come again.”
“Was in the area to visit the Museum of Post Punk and Industrial Music and had some time to kill. My wife chose this spot because of the many vegan and vegetarian options. I was impressed with the menu offerings and the food was terrific. Perfect for a couple of hungry travelers, such as we were. I had some pork tacos and my wife vegetable tacos; both were tasty. Very satisfying.”
“This is not your normal taco place. You need to try this. Normally I feel greasy with Mexican food. The sauce and flavor are well balanced! Meat is tender and flavorful! Service is awesome! And there is Vegan options!”
“Drove all the way here to pick up food I ordered online and after waiting 15 mins I got a notification that the restaurant denied my order. I’m parked right outside and all the open signs are on and one of the doors is open but once you go past that the second door is locked? I called and the phones are off.”
“This review is a long time coming. I ordered a taco dinner and was served what could be the worst tacos I have ever had in my life. The tacos had no flavor and the avocados were rotting. If you look closely, there are black spots all through them. Who would knowingly open rotting avocado, plate them and then sell the food? It was late when I ordered and didn't even feel like taking the food back so I basically paid to just not eat. Save your dollars and visit Super mercado Martinez instead of this place!”
“The food here is just excellent. It's consistently my favorite Mexican food in the entire city, and everyone I bring here seems to feel the same way. But I do worry that this restaurant won't last. The service is friendly but lackadaisical, almost every time I visit the experience starts with a list of things they're out of, and the restaurant is seldom busy. So guys, please get your marketing and customer experience figured out! Because I love you and I want you to be successful for the long-term!”
“Went Tuesday afternoon for lunch, enchiladas tres moles was amazing.”
“I had my birthday party there for about 30 people. Food was great, atmosphere was amazing, and service is on point. Planning and communication with the manager was not difficult at all. All my friends gave compliments for choosing this restaurant and had a really wonderful time at this hidden gem. Need to check the place out!!”
“I’m glad I found this place. Very good establishment. I’ll be back!”
