“Came here a few times before writing this review and their steak tacos are very consistent (and DELICIOUS).”

Came here a few times before writing this review and their steak tacos are very consistent (and DELICIOUS). The Margaritas weren’t strong at all and even with an additional shot of tequila, it didn’t taste like there was any liquor in it. It won’t let me upload the videos of my food for some strange reason, so all I have is a photo of the menu I took. I would personally recommend their steak tacos!

Should try gorditas de asada and Jamaica water, tasty food, the salsa roja was well spicy, you can pay with card or cash and they're kind people.

Came here to try it out and saw a video on it from TickTock. These carne asada huaraches are really delicious and full of flavor. Definitely recommend and coming back to try the rest of the menu Lol. Great service. Keep it up! 👍 Thanks for the recommendation, Priscila! 🙂

Food was very delicious it took a little long to get but it was definitely worth it knowing even the tortillas was freshly hand pressed 😋

“Average tacos not so average prices little in the high end.”

Average tacos not so average prices little in the high end. I got the taco dinner portions are really small. Would've been better off ordering the sides separately, horchata is decent above average

“I've always had people telling me to go this place because their food is great.”

I've always had people telling me to go this place because their food is great. I placed an order to go for my family. The asada tacos were ok. The asada torta was as small as my fist with little meat and the alpastor meat in the huarache was bland and burnt. The place was empty so that was probably a hint. I tried it and not going back.

“I waited 30 minutes for my carne en su jugo, only to be deeply disappointed.”

I waited 30 minutes for my carne en su jugo, only to be deeply disappointed. The meat was completely flavorless, overly chewy, and riddled with fat and nervio/gristle. Every spoonful was an unpleasant experience. It was so bad that I couldn’t finish it and had to leave it at the table, still paying my tab. If you’re looking for good carne en su jugo, this is definitely not the place.
