So I ordered some food today for the office for lunch and got great reviews, I can't say I have the same review.
— Bobby Webb

Catering breakfast tacos for years. Today unfortunately I found a hair in my taco. Never ordering from here again.
— Mike Stanojevic

It's a good place with good food in general, but today they made my burrito with breakfast wrap, which was extremely sweet and sugary.

“Just what I was looking for.”

Just what I was looking for! Simple "non-chain" Mexican food. Enter into building, pass security counter to food court down the stairs. Korean food next door.

“There tacos are filling and delicious.”

There tacos are filling and delicious! I like the way they make them. When you ask for cheese they melt the cheese In between two tortillas. Their salsa also has great flavor.

“Super good authentic Mexican food.”

Super good authentic Mexican food. I’m not from here and it felt just like when I’m in Mexico. The lemonade was very sugary but I switched it after. Good customer service, love how it’s family owned.

“Been a customer for years -- best chicken & steak tacos I've ever had.”

Been a customer for years -- best chicken & steak tacos I've ever had. They come with lettuce, onion & tomato and then they melt this white cheese in-between the two tortillas, which to me (along w/their homemade salsa that's also really good and has a nice kick to it) is what makes them soooo good.

“Que delicioso! Was very happy to find this place. I've been looking for a nearby quality...”

Que delicioso! Was very happy to find this place. I've been looking for a nearby quality taco/burrito joint, that is open for breakfast, ever since the Taqueria in the pedway at Washington closed down a year ago. I will not say this was the best breakfast burrito I've ever had, but I will say that it's better than any alternative within a 10 minute walking radius. I got the chorizo breakfast burrito. It comes with chorizo, egg, potatoes and cheese. That's it. Pretty simple. You do get a pretty good house salsa on the side. I also asked for jalapenos. A couple important things to note: 1) The size of the burrito is huge. They offer three sizes of burrito small, regular, and large. I got the regular and it was enormous. I didn't see the small, but I'm assuming that it would be sufficient. The large must use multiple tortillas. 2) The location. I circled the block looking for this place. I'm sure it's stated somewhere, but not clearly enough, that there is no storefront. Not even a sign. You have to go into the building at 105 W Madison, then walk down the stairs to the left of reception, into the food court. I went around 10a on a Thursday and it was very quiet at that time. I will be back! Can't wait to try lunch here one day. They do have tortas too!
