“ You know a Mexican place is really good when the local road/construction workers eat lunch there. Good food, friendly service, my favorite drink (horchata), and even chicken nuggets for my little picky eater. And I love the bilingual puns on the walls! ”
“ Very authentic food , family friendly atmosphere. There is Minimal seating in the restaurant the restaurant is normally busy and fast-paced. The food came out in a timely manner. ”
“ Great place to try out. A variety of meats are available. (Surprisingly, no gound beef taco meat! I'm thinking that ground beef is not as authentic as the other choices?) I had the Nacho plate with barbacoa. It was pretty tasty. Hubs had the Quesabirria plate. It was interesting, but not as tasty as expected. There are a number of items on the extensive menu that we want to come back and try. They have some alcoholic drinks ready to serve, as well as a variety of Mexican bottled soft drinks. The atmosphere comes across as authentic, cozy and welcoming. We will be back! ”
“ I’m always on the prowl for a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant with delicious, authentic food. And this is one of those places! We made our orders and sat down. The food was delivered in less than five minutes. The gorditas were HUGE and delish. They were perfectly fried. The red salsa had some while the green was mainly for taste. We will definitely come back and I highly recommend this place to authentic Mexican food lovers! ”
“ Had the chicken Tikka and paneer Tikka tacos and enjoyed them. My friend had the barbacoa and tripita tacos. Also, enjoyed the cafe de olla. Will have to remember about the 24 drive thru. Will return. ”
