“The carne asada burrito is so good 🤤 and they're giant.”
The carne asada burrito is so good 🤤 and they're giant! However, the horchata drink was extremely sweet to me. Too much sugar 😔

“SOLID, SOLID, SOLID!!!”
SOLID, SOLID, SOLID!!!! SOLID Customer Service, SOLID Food, SOLID Atmosphere! Y'all better get to this spot QUICK, FAST and in a HURRY!! They Don't make 'em like this anymore. The moment that I walked in the door and was greeted by a smiling face behind the counter, I knew it was going to be a great experience through and through. Placed my order for 4 Taco dinner boxes. Decided to keep it simple. Chose the beef, onion and cilantro tacos. As I was waiting, a gentleman came from the back and behind the counter and greeted me. I asked if he was the owner and he acknowledged that he was. Juan introduced himself and we got to chatting and our chat quickly turned into an impromptu menu tasting. He had his staff bringing me out little cups of beef, shrimp and his homemade smoked sauce. I was in HEAVEN and could only imagine how good the food that I ordered was going to be. Juan gave me a breakdown of his background and love for cooking and his devotion to helping others thrive along with him. What a GREAT person and business owner. The restaurant was clean from the front of the house to the back of the house( you could see all of the kitchen from the counter). The staff was hustling to get the food prepared and were beautifully working in tandem with one another. Got home with my food and it was nothing short of AMAZING!! This spot is open 24/7 . DON'T WALK...RUN to get there!!! Drove a lonnng way to get to this place and will continue putting miles on my car for many happy returns.

“I have never been to a more welcoming taco spot than here.”
I have never been to a more welcoming taco spot than here. Juan Jr. and everyone working there is nice and friendly. They let us try samples of the meats before we ordered and provided nothing short of perfect service and I will definitely be back. Me and my girlfriend has gotten chicken and steak tacos, and I got another burrito on top as well. I also got a bottle of that horchata and its honestly addicting! I will definitely be back again!

WARNING! ⚠️ I swear these tacos are drugs.. About to cry because my tacos mine are gone and I need some more… I had chicken tacos with lettuce, tomato, cheese, onions and cilantro. The chicken was grilled and seasoned to perfect.. the tortillas were homemade and fresh.. don’t get me started on the green salsa… there were two kinds and they both hit. Also, those rice and beans.. I just want some more. The atmosphere was so welcoming, thanks to Juan Jr., Salvador and Mr. Enrique. They pay attention to details, they give give good recommendations and they hook your food up with love. They really do everything out of love and I appreciate them 💕

“I love this place.”
I love this place! The food is excellent! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. They fix your food fresh. My son suggested this place. They make their own sauce, excellent! I will definitely be here again, and it's 24 hrs. When people find out about this place they will definitely be expanding. I usually have to be in the mood for Mexican food as it is not my first go to but this place is an exception to that rule. They have different fruit drinks that are also great! If you are a first timer, they even let you sample. I highly recommend this establisment.

“Food was AMAZING, a little pricey.”
Food was AMAZING, a little pricey. Waited a while. Wish I had gotten more than 7-10 chips to go w my 16 oz of guacamole. Taco dinner box is small. Not much to the rice and beans. Shrimp was good. 4 pieces per taco. Rib eye steak delicious. I'm a white girl so I get the flour shell and ALL the toppings. Almost $45 for 2 people.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience! The customer service was top-notch—super friendly and welcoming. I ordered breakfast for our Sunday school group, and they devoured every bite! It was so good that I had to go back the same day to treat myself and my mom. We got steak, shrimp, and marinated pork tacos, along with guac and chips, rice, and mango juice—everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back! Breakfast ordered: bacon, sausage, chorizo and vegetarian tacos Lunch/Dinner: steak, marinated pork and shrimp tacos, guacamole and chips, rice and mango juice
