“ The food was great. They took a while to serve our food, but the food was good. They even gave us some chips and a glass of water because it was packed. Service was good too. The waiter was nice to us and was very helpful to us because we were new customers and we didn't know what to order so the service is good! Overall, the restaurant is a good place to eat overnight when you're out! ”
“ The steak tacos were absolutely delicious, and the rice and beans were tasty. The food was full of flavor, and the service was friendly. Definitely a 10/10 experience. Just a heads up, this place is cash-only, so you'll need to pay and tip with cash. ”
“ I've been searching for a decent Mexican place in this neighborhood foe a few years now. I just can't find it. A great Mexican place is super clean, consistently delicious food and fair prices. I have been here twice and this is not it. I was starving and wanted a quick bite to eat. I wanted a gordita or sope. I called placed an order and picked it up. They have a parking lot which is great because it's hard to find parking on central Ave. It's cash only. Not great. I also ordered a side of rice. The gordita was good but the Carne asada was so salty. The rice tasted ok but had a spoiled smell. Please do not serve old food. The food is not cheap and it should not smell spoiled. I'm not sure if I will be back. I tried. ”
“ I was on my home and wanted to stop for tacos. The eating area was pretty crowded on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the three-steak taco dinner with extra rice. The prices are reasonable. FYI Make sure to bring cash. No cards. Cash Only!!! My tacos and rice were well seasoned. Freshly made and delicious. Fast and friendly service. ”
