Some of the best Tacos I have had. Their guacamole is very unique and you must try that. They also have special birria tacos made with cheesy tortilla that is totally awesome and comes with a dipping soup of beef broth that is very tasty

Really interesting interior with a cool retro vibe. We got the tripa torta at it was really good. Service was fast as well, and the lady at the counter was pleasant. Recommended if you are in the area!

I had heard many people say this place had authentic Mexican food and they were not wrong. My wife and kid came here for the first time and we enjoyed the tacos and horchata. Great place to come eat some real good Mexican food!

Walking through the door around 5pm, I get a penetrating whiff of old mop water, which I can tell has been used to clean the place. The server, unenthused, waved her hand saying "can choose to sit." The woman and I order our meal, waiting for Iowa to show us if Mexican food has any dignity here. I ordered the birria tacos, cant beat the price of $9 bucks. I also ordered Nachos and the woman ordered 3 types of street tacos. During the waiting period, I heard a microwave over yonder. One of the bad signs in any Mexican restaurant is hearing a microwave over in the kitchen. I ::gasped:: wanting to leave, but the food has arrived. Well... everything was okay, every plate we ordered was bland. They could do better. If you're budget conscious, this place is for you.

Every time we go between Indiana and Nebraska we would stop here and always had a great lunch until this last time. As always we got a order of pupusas but this time it came with a hidden nasty surprise. A piece is raw meat was stuck to the bottom of one of the pupusas which makes me believe the food ready for consumption must be prepared in the same expect spot where the raw meat is being cut. Do yourself a favor and avoid this stop or risk getting food poisoning

They make the best guacamole! I have never had anything quite like it. It had cucumbers in it! Wow it was amazing! Also their tacos were on point! Will definitely be coming back here!

Searched up "Mexican food near me" and Google lead us here. And it was great! Delicious food for a good price. Perfect little hole in the wall.
