Food was delicious 😋 good service we will be going back again soon 🙂
Amazing Chicken Vegetable soup. They were also very accommodating when I had a weird request to not put the chicken in the soup and to leave just the Vegetables. The soup was big and came with Tortilla and they gave before for free tortilla chips and they're salsa with that. Nice staff too.
Great food, super tasty, had tacos al pastor & chorizos tostadas & it was all good & great service.

Burritos tasted amazing literally 10\10
I ordered a chicken soup and it was generous. Or just I needed it so much. Also got some tacos (dunno, really, not an expert). Not many people speak English here but we understood each other. Will remember this experience!
Food is good. Not amazing but pretty solid. Their tacos are bigger than most in the area. The waitresses are also very nice.
Just ordered on Seamless.. I'm amazed at how good this food is. I'm so amazed that I picked up my phone while eating so I could leave this review. Milanesa Torta.. this might be one of the best things I've ever eaten.
Great place! Clean and good food! Come for the lunch special and get my favorite Chile relleno, rice and beans, chips and salsa, can of soda for $8.95! Check out the other lunch specials too! Perhaps a chicken torta?
Just moved from Texas and I’m so happy to have found this place. Finally legit, affordable Mexican food!! The steak Torta is my favorite so far. Can’t tell you how comforting that first bite was, it was packed with flavorful well seasoned steak, all the right veggies and even some hard cheese. Amazing.
Good place good food I would recommend the Nachos they are very good and different style compared to regular nachos and no matter where i go can’t find them like that. Margaritas are great too
Laid back style Mexican restaurant that gives incredibly authentic Norteña style vibes. Good portions, well seasoned food, heavy-hitting drinks & enough multi-colored lights to feel like it’s Christmas

This place is one of the few taco places that reminds me of Texas. The pastor and enchiladas are always great choices. For people who don't handle spice well, be warned! Their hot sauce is legit and just a small dash can do a lot of damage. 🔥🔥🔥

Food was ok. Delivery was ok. Menu says $6 for 3 tacos and I was charged $10.50. Called to call it to their attention and the girl on the phone was so rude. Pretty much saying I'm not seeing what I'm seeing on their menu and I can either return the tacos or pay. Then says she can't help me. I asked who can and she said the owner but he doesn't speak English. Asked to speak to him anyway. Spoke to him and he said he doesn't know what I'm looking at but they changed the price 10 years ago. Wow. Horrible. Won't be back here ever again.

Have loved the food here before for YEARS-previous 5 stars. But they had the wrong store times clearly indicated at the restaurant's door (and in many places online). I went in just before 1am-door was open, day's menu chalkboard outside. I sat on a table, and was told it was closed, despite all appearance to the contrary, people chatting (perhaps employees taking it easy, or their friends?), and the clearly stated *2AM* closing time. This simple error-or unwillingness to serve food at open times for whatever reasons-will cost them my business, which they clearly seem not to care about. Will still give them two stars because the food is not bad-when they deem me worthy of eating it, that is. I would be lying if I kept the 5 stars score, as it isn't a great dining experience. (Throughout the years, some employees have also been a bit lacking in warmth, though that wasn't the case the day I was refused a menu. The lady just told me it was closed when it really wasn't, so that annoyed me a big deal, because I made the trip because it was supposedly open! I just ignore the disinterested employees, and am grateful for the better ones. Customer service is thus a mixed bag, depending on who's on what shift.)
*UPDATE NOV 2024* it REALLY pains me to do this because I have been a loyal/consistent customer for over 10 years and this place has been a source of great comfort for me. With that said, the quality has gone WAY down. And please bear in mind that I waited to edit my original review because I figured maybe they were in between chefs or something and it was temporary. It was not. The beans are almost grey in color, rice is mushy now and tasteless, presentation is severely lacking compared to before, overall quality has diminished significantly. Nachos come wilted, steak from the fajita was like rubber. Even the salsa is diff and tasteless now. Not to mention some of the chips were stale. I have given this place such good ratings to everyone I know. I've came here many times with my husband and family. Mostly I order at least once a month and have it delivered to my apartment which is pretty close to the restaurant. I'm writing this in hopes that the food quality issues are addressed. I really really loved this place but it's looking like we will not be returning. Also worth noting, prices seem more expensive over the phone than online. That was another issue I had once too. Not to mention they refuse, in over 10 yrs, to get someone that speaks and understands English. The language barrier is unbearable and that's why I use GrubHub. Sad to see them get to this point. Thank u for all the years of amazing food. Wish you well. Original review: I really do love this place. Sometimes the food comes cold and that's annoyoan but the food is so good I can't stop ordering . They're the best Mexican in town . Thankfully the woman answering the phone now speaks clearer english. I recommend ordering or even dining in . Music was too loud last time tho . That's my only complaint
The combination platters were usually a good value and delivery/pickup is super quick. This was never remarkable Mexican food it was just nice that they had combinations and it was good enough but just ordered again tonight and it was painfully mediocre. Meat is just ok probably has been reheated or been sitting all day, rice and beans were almost inedible which is disturbing for a Mexican restaurant. Food is just way too expensive nowadays for mediocrity. Two stars because there might be some items that can redeem this place but it’s up to your discretion to try them out because I probably won’t.

I ordered combination 5, burrito beef was okay, but chorizo tacos was burned. The cook must be taught that if he burns something he must cook another.

Horrible customer service I ordered for delivery and called the restaurant because the food was late the woman that answered the phone had me on hold forever and just hung up all I wanted to know was where the delivery driver was the attitude was unnecessary I don’t even want the food anymore
Worst experience I've ever had! The customer service is very bad. Food wasn't great 3/10 tbh. The tostadas had weird pieces of minced bone, when we complained they said they would cancel it but still tried to charge us for it The drinks tasted bad too, I've never been treated with disrespect like this place.
Waitress acted like I annoyed her for coming into an empty restaurant. The food was bland, no seasoning and presentation was horrible. The sauce smelled funny. A mop and bucket is needed because the place is dirty.
