Great Mexican restaurant, the food is delicious, the service is warm and thoughtful, I speak Chinese, the waiter is you speak Spanish, but it does not affect our communication, great experience, I recommend you to try

“Wonderful taqueria that I visited last summer and still reminisce about.”
Wonderful taqueria that I visited last summer and still reminisce about. This spot would compete and do well even in CDMX. Top notch and fresh ingredients, with al pastor tacos whose meat is moist and tender, and whose marmalade achieves the perfect synthesis of pineapple, chiles, anatto, lime, cumin…

“I was excited to try this place but was ultimately disappointed.”
I was excited to try this place but was ultimately disappointed. The food was pretty bland overall. The burritos especially were not very good. I would not recommend anything except the tacos, which were good, but kinda pricey. Even the salsas were bland. The red one tasted like watered-down canned chipotle sauce. Also, I tried ordering online but it wouldn't go through, so I had to order over the phone. Not only did they mess up the order, but it cost 50% more than the online price. That's crazy. Probably won't be back.

Swear the best damn Mexican food I have ever had! The Creme green salsa was nostalgic! Will only be eating tacos and Cemitas from here on out!

“Had the "mi pueblo" burger and my wife ordered torta de asada and we were both really satisfied.”
Had the "mi pueblo" burger and my wife ordered torta de asada and we were both really satisfied. The flavor was on point. To be honest I'm a fan of fatty bits here in there in my asada so just a heads up to the people that don't. It also has a nice cozy indoor patio. Very cozy mom and pop shop. Also I didn't mind this but the next person might, they gave a small amount of chips and salsa. I left full either way.
