Had the pollo con mole and let me tell you... it was amazing! 3 pieces of chicken so tender that the meat literally falls right off the bone served along with a side of house rice and beans with 4 homemade corn or flour tortillas to top it off. Highly recommend this plate! Ordered through doordash

The Pastor buritto is outstanding! A ton of meat, and proportions in the buritto were perfect. Will have to try the steak next time. The red sauce is really hot.

This is by far our favorite place to go to for lunch! The staff is always super friendly, the food always hits the spot I am not sure why there’s a few reviews about it not being all that. It’s probably people picking up food and eating it cold! You want good food? It’s always best to it there and then. At the very moment it comes out the kitchen! Everything is delicious but my all time favorites are La tampiqueña, carne a la India and the steak taco dinner. Don’t skip the horchata and enjoy the handmade tortillas!

Best steak burritos ever. Literal perfection. Recommend enchiladas as well. House red sauce is perfect over everything always.

The food was ok, the salsa was excellent though being a warm spicy salsa. However they were skimpy telling us they would change for more than 2 small baskets of chips. They also only gave us one napkin. That's one of the reasons why it was ok
