“Trust me and come here! This was our weekly go to spot back when we lived in Hyde Park. Great portion sizes and tasty meat. The burrito dinner is my favorite and comes with the best fries. Today, I tried the tacos and enjoyed them the lake. Great horchata too. It’s family owned and they deserve good business, so bring people and grab food from here before you head over to the lake this summer!”
“Such a chill place with great food and drinks! Get a frozen margarita!”
“Stopped by after the museum nice small place to grab a bite.”
“We ordered corn Tilapia and Mushroom Tacos and they were delicious. I loved the grilled Tilapia a little more. The ambiance was quiet around 4pm and the service took about 10-15 minutes for the food to arrive. Would love to go and try other food as well!”
“I had one of the best quesadilla in my life here. The waiter was so awesome. He does everything. Please check them out !!!”
“Came here for a quick late night dinner and it did not disappoint. Food was fire, drinks were fire, and our server was amazing. Thank you Pasquale ( I hope I spelled that correctly) will be back!!!”
“I stopped here with some friends and ordered the birria taco special and a rum drink. The service was friendly and the food was great. A little pricy but so is everything else now. I’d go again.”
“Went here on a whim and for 11 bucks I got the largest torta of my life. Photo included. Had a great time and the staff were sweet and professional. Will definitely be back.”
“Wow!! Great food and large portions. We had the queso birria tacos and the barbacoa tacos plate and we were not disappointed. We also had a great margarita and mojito. YUM!! Thank you!!!”
“Just judging off the tacos, this place is great! The food was really good and filling and the family running the place were super friendly and accomodating. The place itself also has really good vibes and great for hanging out with friends.”
