This place is absolutely a hidden gem. Everything I've tried is delicious and very reasonably priced. Their salsas are delicious and they even bring a warm red salsa to your table. The service from the ladies is fantastic. The atmosphere is what you would expect from an old taqueria. You can play whatever music you desire on the digital jukebox and enjoy a mighty fine michelada while you wait.

It's a very old place, and could use a remodel, but it is a staple in the community. So those who know, know. The food came quick, the prices were great, and the horchata was so good.

Great little spot to grab breakfast or lunch. Food was pretty greasy. We used about 20 napkins. There’s a reason there’s napkin descenders at each table. Lol

This was my first time visiting this restaurant and it was very much okay. However, when my salsa was brought out there was something on the side of the bowl that was fabric texture so I didn’t eat that one. The other 2 salsas were fine and tasty. The green one was my favorite. I ordered Carne Asada Fries, 3 chicken enchiladas w/ rice and beans and a beef chalupa. The fries has beef, chili con queso and jalapeños on the top. I would give those a 5/5! Very tasty and filling. Everything tasted fresh The chalupa was piled high with lots of toppings including lettuce, tomatoes, beans, beef and cheese. Sour cream and guacamole comes on it as well but I opted to leave those out. I would give it a 4/5. It was a bit cold. The enchiladas were my least favorite. I wasn’t aware that they put white cheese in the beans and I don’t like shredded cheese so that was a no for me. My rice also has shedded cheese in it which was new to me because I’ve never had that from a Mexican restaurant before. The tortillas on my enchiladas were hard and there was a lot of fat on my fajita chicken pieces. I would give it, personally, a 2/5. For my drink I had a strawberry margarita on the rocks with a tajin rim which gets a 4/5. It was really delicious. I just wanted it to be stronger. Overall the restaurant is nice and clean. My waitress was great as well.

I came to get a torta and it was a little dry but the meat was well seasoned. I feel like they did a good job, they give good service as well! Overall I feel like it was a pretty good experience, I'll definitely be back.

After a long time, we have found an affordable and delicious Mexican restaurant. The staffs are very welcoming. The restaurant is very clean and well-organized. Loved the vibe there. We have tried their beef fajita plates, 3 tacos plate, and parilladas (for 1 person). And all of these were profoundly delicious. The portion of the meals is more than enough. Every time I go there, I had to take a big portion of the leftovers with us. The green sauce they provide is the best I would say. The plus point is it is open till midnight. Highly recommend this restaurant.
