Everything is very good here. Beef burritos, chicken enchiladas, the tacos. And the burrito bowls were very good.

I've been meaning to try this place for over a year and was not disappointed! The customer service was impeccable, the restaurant was clean and had a lovely ambience, and the bathrooms were well maintained. The prices were competitive. The restaurant was quiet as we arrived an hour before closing (9pm). Our server Neylani was extremely personable, kind, patient & professional. At her recommendation I chose the two taco combination plate with mango habenera chicken black beans, rice & spicy cole slaw. The mango habenero was mildly spicy and delicious! Hub ordered a cheese quesadilla with rice & beans & a beer (Two Roads IPA) and the kids & grandkids each had two ground beef tacos. We had free refill sodas and free nacho chips with red & green sauce, which were fresh and crispy. The portions were slightly smaller than I anticipated, however I did not leave hungry at all. The food was filling, fresh & delicious. Unfortunately I did not get the chef's name but he was smiling and graciously waved at all the kids before we left. I will definitely be returning! I would like to try the Carne Asada which Neylani also highly recommended; she said they run out very early so maybe I'll make it a brunch lol. Really a great place all around, I absolutely recommend giving them a go! 🙂

Went in to order a burrito at 7.35 PM on a Friday. Ignored by the staff for five minutes and then told "Sorry, we are closing early." Friday night. Closing at 7.30 PM. The sooner they go out of business the better

Pretty good tacos, I had steak and cheese and carnitas, my friends got ground beef and queso and my boyfriend got the longanizas taco combo. This steak and cheese one is very American flavor profile, carnitas is very traditional Mexican …

Terrific Tex-Mex food, never disappoints. The chips are slightly under salted, the sweet potato taco is out of this world. One of my families go to dinner places.

Before they closed for 2 months, this place had the best salad a bit expensive but worth it. When they reopen I went back I was outrage of how easy they ripped me off of $18.00. Salad was served in a small bowl, steak was cut into tiny …

I’d hate to leave a bad review butttt …. I’m not sure if it’s because we ordered take out but the tacos were soggy, falling apart and did not taste fresh. The rice was over cooked & the Salsa was terrible … 🙄 i will say the refried beans were pretty good but overall bad experience !! …
