“I ordered a #2 combo meal, my niece had a #3 combo meal, and my nephew had the tostada meal(which looked excellent”
This used to be my favorite place for enchiladas, but after me and my wife got food poisoning after eating here, we havent been back since.
Just left this restaurant 5 minutes ago. Nice atmosphere inside and on the patio. I order the Burrito with extra Steak.
Was just using the bathroom and took “long”, not even 10 minutes and they wouldn’t leave me alone threatening to call the cops like what?!?!

“I’ve been a regular at this place for almost 2 years and I’ve never had a bad meal.”
I’ve been a regular at this place for almost 2 years and I’ve never had a bad meal. Home cooking so good I had to share it with my co-workers and friends! Chicken tacos to die for. Moist, flavorful, and always served by the sweetest considerate staff. The owners have done tremendously well to create one of the best dinning experiences I’ve. Will be back like always! Keep that rice coming!!

“Had a delicious meal here with the family.”
Had a delicious meal here with the family. The owner treated us like royalty and we hit the slots full and happy. Can't wait to go back. Delicious huevos ranchero, a very fresh taco salad and steak tacos!! Very reasonable. Try the coffee with cinnamon--it's next level and I don't even like cinnamon usually. Abundant free parking

It’s was good food, nice people and great atmosphere. Definitely a go to restaurant. The staff were friendly. Food is really good just no extra spicy sauces available. It’s a nice quaint place with beautiful outside seating.

“I stop there to get some tacos and God they were delicious!!”
I stop there to get some tacos and God they were delicious!!! Asada and pastor just hit the spot! The horchata was so delicious too. Great atmosphere even though I ordered to go. The young lady who took my order was so nice and polite. She even offered me extra salsa and slices of lime for my tacos. Definitely I'll come back to eat in.
