I ate the taco so fast so I wasn't able to take a picture of it, it was full of a lot of meat and if you combine it with the avocado green salsa you're golden

Super simple spot but the food is absolutely incredible. The al pastor and avocado salsa are the best in the city IMO. Jamaica was super good not too sweet, i loved it

Come on guys I love the taste in food but don't make me pay 11 dollars for a torta and just smear beans I can hardly see and skimp the meat, avocado and sour cream too Disrespectful

The food is great but the customer service is horrible I've ordered over 3x over Uber and they always forget my drink usually a monster $3.50 let's just say 5$ for them not to give me my drink and then blame the drivers? Y'all need better cashier's to make sure y'all don't miss nothing I will be contacting y'all until I speak w a manager Update Aug 17 Why do I even bother SMH thanks for the extra crispy steak ENJOYED IT WITH MY DRINK 🍻

Missing a taco from our order and then as I go to eat my torta de milanesa de pollo, it legit had strips of chicken. This place has really fallen off on the quality of the food.
