Wanted to try this place for the first time. Hours said they close at 9.
The waitress was nice. But only came to check on us once even though the place was empty.
Went here recently with a friend on a Thursday night.

Great flavor, solid prices and friendly service. The pastor tacos I dream about. We usually take advantage of the taco Tuesday special and it hits every time. Definitely check this place out!

“Popped in for some lunch and sat on the back patio.”
Popped in for some lunch and sat on the back patio! The service was quick & everyone was very nice. The food came out hot and fresh as well. I had the steak taco dinner and my fiance had the quesabirria tacos. Both were delicious. I’ve had a lot of the taco spots around the neighborhood and this might just be my new go to!

“Super authentic Mexican food.”
Super authentic Mexican food. Great fresh salsa selections and homemade chips. Only picture I have because I ate my tacos so quickly. Menu is huge so there’s something for everyone. They have daily specials too.

We just had a spontaneous lunch there. It was so good and this is now our new favorite. I had chicken tortas and my son had queasabirria. They both were amazing. And the service was great. Definitely going back.

“The food was amazing 😍 The El pastor tacos are fantastic.”
The food was amazing 😍 The El pastor tacos are fantastic! The chef salad was pretty good...but the tortillas were amazing! Elote was absolutely some of the best I have had. I entered the restaurant with my service dog, and the lady told me no dogs allowed. I told her it was a service dog and got a little bit of sideways glance, but she did take my order. I'm used to it, I get it often, I know people pretend to have service animals, butine was actually trained for me. They also have lots of various drinks like topo Chico and Jalisco which are always tasty alongside dinner

“We tried this place last Sunday and what a great addition to our neighborhood.”
We tried this place last Sunday and what a great addition to our neighborhood. We ordered the Quesabirria and shrimp fajitas. Both are great. The birria consumé had a spicy kick that's great without being over powering. The horchata and jamaica are tasty too. The other reviews saying the rice and beans is good was not lying. Im definitely coming back to try the other items like the tortas.

“Just tried this place for the first time.”
Just tried this place for the first time! They take card, have a Zelle barcode and offer a discount if you pay cash discount. I got the Monday special (Quesabirria taco dinner) and my partner had the shrimp taco dinner with an horchata. Both were fantastic and it was so much food we weren't able to finish. The rice and beans were delicious.

“We found a new little Taco place.”
We found a new little Taco place! We had the Asada tacos and the Al Pastor tacos. They had generous helpings and most importantly the tacos were delicious! They even gave us a free Horchata!
