The food here is so tasty, affordable prices, fast service, they bring the food to your table, a lot of options to choose from. I love the carnitas, enchiladas, chiles rellenos, and menudo they have kids options, too. Beers, sodas, flavored waters. They are located in the corner, the building has diferent business in here, but there's a lot of parking. Friendly personnel go and enjoy this place. I highly recommend it. Good for individuals, groups, family reunions, etc.

Para empezar, el servicio nunca a sido malo , pero tampoco a sido bueno,,, los precios los an subido pero la calidad de la comida a ido para abajo, las salsas que sirven con los chips parecen agua , la horchata está echa de un bote con polvo , sabe a todo menos a horchata , pedà una tostada de ceviche y traen un coktel de camarón en ves de vaso en plato , mi hija pidió una milanesa de pollo , y la milanesa la sirvieron con pedasos de mojarra yo entiendo que tal ves nomas tengan una freidora pero por lo menos tengan la amabilidad de quitarle los pedazos de pescado , el dueño bien gracias no fue bueno para acer un comentario con nosotros, ,,, simplemente no regresamos a ese lugar . Gracias.

Very good food with large potion sizes. I loved the meat in the tacos and the shrimp "cocktail" was huge. Only downside for us was while we were there Spanish speaking servers only - lovely, efficient servers but my Spanish is so-so.

Their food is good the only problem is every time you go they make up the prices as they go which is not correct. You ask for onions they don't tell you and charge you $2.00 for onions even though your purchasing food from there establishment. If you pay debit they charge .50 cents to 1.00 I

Las mimosas de fresa muy ricas. Las tortillas recien hechas tambien muy ricas. Pero el menudo muy apestoso, olia como que no lo limpiaron, me dio asco. El restaurante es conocido por sus carnitas y nadie las estaba pidiendo. No regreso gracias a dios no me empache con ese menudo. Alguien nevesita darle una clases al cocinero como preparar el menudo.

First of all I thought it was a joke when I only ordered 6 rolled tacos on 4/27/2023 & the cashier said $30.00. I said Ma'am I only ordered 6 rolled tacos and she said again $30.00 dollars. They are 4 dollars a piece along with one can of soda plus tax $30.00 dollars. I was visiting from Rosarito,Mexico. If they were $15 I can understand but $30 no that was unreal.

I used to hate carnitas as a kid since I never had any good carnitas. My husband introduced me to this place when we dated. I became an instant fan. Meat was fresh, bomb (mixed pork is my fav), a side of yummy mexican rice, the salsa bar was a great perk with fresh & real spicy options, and price was great.
Unfortunately things have changed. When it comes to the pork, it is a hit or miss (dry or fresh). There is no more salsa bar :(. If you do want salsa, you have to ask and its a small bag, they charge for extra everything. The rice has been pretty bland well.
This place easily went from 5 stars to 2 due to their inconsistency in flavor and stingy service. Im sure if these two things are fixed they can easily go back to 5 stars...Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
