After seeing this location for a while now finally made it in to try their posole and the chicken asada plate which I ordered with flour tortilla and made it into three yummy filled tacos. The food was good and the service was very nice.

5/5 taste - tacos and burrito are really good. I wish the nachos were crispier but the toppings were good. The fish tacos were crunchy and had good sauce. 5/5 ambience - restaurant is clean 5/5 service - friendly staff and fast service 5/5 value Will come back again

This restaurant is the best! They have excellent customer service, excellent attitudes, excellent food, and excellent expectations out of their employees. The food was delicious and the prices are definitely fair. I had a breakfast burrito and it was the best I ever had. It’s family owned so it’s definitely has one mind set and that’s to serve the customers. It’s a clean atmosphere and they stay busy. Check it out!!!

I had chicken tacos and a bean and cheese burrito the first time I came and the food was FIRE!! The bean and cheese burrito was one of the best I've had, not your typical beans and cheese. I don't know the name of the beans but they are really light brown, almost looks like pinto beans, and the cheese is white. Very good! The food was so good I came back the very next day and ordered chicken tacos and el pastor tacos, again fire!! They also have real Coke in a bottle from Mexico with real sugar lol, bonus! I will be eating here often when I am in the area. Highly recommend!!
