Great tostadas and taco basket! Their combination plate is great too! I wish they had dine in but getting take out isn't so bad.

Nice job on the taco plate! My wife and I split it for lunch with a side of rice and beans and everything was delicious! Fancy, no, but good food, yes!!

Apparently this place has ties to Maria's clear on the other side of town. I don't know how true that is, but the food styles are very similar. The place is situated on a corner, where the main exit is a one way, which will take you straight onto the highway. So if you're not a local you might want to pull the GPS up before you take off. They have a buffet available and to-go ordering is a breeze. I am not a fan of the ground beef but the tamales covered in a little red sauce is nothing to sneeze at. At the end of the meal I was wanting for more, so this place doesn't make it into my normal rotation.

So delicious and family owned! The crunchy tacos are fresh made and filled with flavor. The hot sauce has depth and heat. So glad I stopped by this gem

This place has always been here and always has been a great place for some quick Mexican food. The wet burritos are a must and Saginaw knows these are the best in town. The owner is very friendly and service can be slow sometimes but they are mom and pop so it's understandable. The chicken tacos are not bad either can't go wrong with a couple tacos. The red sauce is really good as well they have a mild and hot the hot is really flavorful.

I called and placed a order for a wet burrito dinner and when I got home I had a taco dinner. I called and told them about it. They wanted me to drive back to Saginaw that day and I live in Bay City and to bring the meal back to them to replace it. I told the owner is there anyway I could get that replaced another day due to the fact that I live in Bay City. And she said well I need you to bring back the other meal. I'm thinking to myself what the fuck they just gonna throw it away anyways unless they gonna sell it to someone else or reuse the beans and rice for someone else since she was complaining about replacing the beans and rice if I got it another day, not that beans and rice cost alot. But the fact is it was their mistake and own up to it. And thanks for charging me more money for a hard shell taco dinner when I ordered a cube beef wet burrito dinner. I was a loyal customer to them but I won't be back.

Had lunch there last week. This was my first time eating here. Ordered the buffet and was very disappointed with the food. Everything on the buffet tasted the same and was all extremely bland... no herbs, no spices, and no seasoning. Unless the taste of food is drastically changed and improved, I will never return.

If there was a way for a NAGATIVE STAR I would have selected it!!! we went there on lunch and advised the girl we only had an hour. She said "no problem" we ordered and after 40 minutes of waiting had to ask for the food to be boxed. There was only 3 tables when we walked in, we made #4 and we only had 3 people. Food was OK. THIS WAS MY 1ST AND LAST VISIT. WOULD NOT WASTE TIME OR MONEY.

The location is a bit off the beaten path, and it isn't in the prettiest area of Saginaw. I probably wouldn't go there alone after dark because its kinda sketchy and I'm paranoid. The interior is fairly basic, but has lots of room for large groups.
The service is pretty okay, and varies depending on who waits on your table. It's a bit awkward when the family is in and sits around. You feel like they're watching you eat or something.
All of that aside, the food is great. It's as authentic as it gets for this area. They do regular menu items as well as a taco buffet on occasion. It's like going to your abuela's house for a traditional family dinner. Their catering is delicious too!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
