Very tasty tacos, rice and beans were great! (I’ve always said to my family: “If the rice and beans are good, everything that follows will be even better!) A nice and relaxing place to take the family.

I really like the food here. One of my favorites is the fish taco. Muct have a michelada here too. Though they closed their salsa bar because of the pandemic and have not reopened yet, I really miss it. It was the best part. Tacos are still good and you can still get the salsas etc. But it's not the same. Restrooms are always clean and parking is not an issue

The potato tacos are amazing from here they're my favorite. All the tacos & food are also delicious & they make everything fresh that same day. The prices are good & portions are decent.

I mean, it's great still. The flavors are kind of the same and there's a lot more items than they previously had when they first started, but it feels less 'homey' and more "I'd rather take it home and finish it there". Portions used to be much bigger but now they're smaller and obviously more expensive (what isn't, right?). It's still one of my favorite taco places.

This was my first time visiting this establishment. Please see my pictures and videos for more details. There is no waiter or waitress. You order and sit somewhere of your choice. When your food is ready, they call your name. We got fish tacos, asada tacos, shrimp tacos, and two drinks. We ordered piña and horchata. What I liked is that they ask you how much ice you'd like in your drink. I ate the asada tacos first. The meat was not hot. It wasn't warm either. It felt room temperature. However, with all the toppings, including lime and Chile, they were good! I'm sure if the meat was nice and hot, they would've tasted even better. The fish tacos were also delicious. I really like that they give a lot of lime, instead of 1 slice like other places. The shrimp taco was so delicious I wanted to get more, but I got full. There was a very spicy jalapeño that kicked my butt. The drinks combined so well with the food. Restrooms are available. There's also a TV in the eating area. The staff was friendly. Thank you for viewing.

We are regular customers and we love the potato tacos , most of the times we order food to go specially on the weekends. It's being twice that the cashier leaves me waiting on the phone and then hang-up.

The food is good, especially the battered fish and shrimp tacos. However the portions are very small for the price. I don't mind paying a little more as long as the portions are generous. Also, the location has an awful sewage smell that has been there since they opened.

Giving it 3 stars because they no longer have the shrimp empanadas with agua chile I loved so much. Their shrimp tacos looked better than they tasted

What a cold place. Started with the non existing greeting, no eye contact. then after several minutes after she finished tapping on the screen she walks away. comes back says “hi” but with no eye contact. out of 23 tables only 2 tables were taken - it wasnt even close to being busy. i even watched the next customer wait and ask the cook where the cashier lady went.

Not bad but the wait is long. Tried calling in 20 min early and when we got there, still a 30 min wait. Next time, we called in 30 min early and they lost the order. You would think that this place would give you an extra taco or drink or something, but they just didn't care. Not good for a time limited lunch break.
