“Todas las meseras son maravillosas, siempre tienen una sonrisa y la comida es excelente, los tacos de suadero son mis favoritos, los chilaquiles verdes🤤🤤, los burritos de carne asada, no puedo esperar para regresar”
“Ngl I haven’t had some good tacos in a minute. When I tell you, I taste three tacos they were so damn good The meat is seasoned to perfection with the onions and cilantro, I don’t even make reviews, but I had to let y’all know. These tacos are bomb”
“Tried their taco truck before they opened and wasn't impressed, tacos were cold. Gave the new location a shot and it was much better. The asada was really good. Alpastor was decent but a bit bland. Would come back to try other stuff on the menu.”
“I had the chilaquiles with Sunnyside eggs and for extra got the Cecina meat added. It was delicious and a great big portion. My husband had a Quesadilla Machete of Steak it was also delicious. I had water for drink and my husband got a hibiscus drink which was not too sugary. Definitely recommend this place. Will be back.”
“Great food and even better service. Fast, friendly staff and delicious food. The quality is better than other Mexican restaurants I’ve tried. The steak tacos use real arrachera meat, sopes are made to order, and they’re open late, which is a huge plus.”
“Beautiful place, very good food will definitely come back”
“We have visited the restaurant plenty of times and we have had very pleasant experiences, until this visit. We went today for dinner (01/31/26)and to celebrate a special birthday and unfortunately the waitresses were a bit rude and rushed. The one who seated us and the one who took our order were not pleasant at all. At one point when we were giving her our order she gestured with her hand and raised her voice. She made us feel uncomfortable and she spoke to us like we were kids. The food was phenomenal, as always. The male waiter that came to our table and took over was checking on us and was very friendly which kept us from leaving. We have told our friends and family about how good this place has been but after today I don’t know if I will continue to recommend it. I don’t want them to have this bad experience.”
“I was there yesterday I ordered chicharron en salsa verde can't eaten was sour 🙃 I left it,also ordered Rib eye taco encebollado was delicious 😋”
“Ordene mi gordita sin cebolla y mi torta sin aguacate , la cebolla en la gordita no se le puede quitar bien la cebolla porque está todo revuelto. Que disgusto. (No es la primera vez que ordenó para recoger o Delivery y la orden falta algo o sale mal )”
