Good service. The lettuce in the chicken quesadilla seems like a really weird choice to me though. I say ditch the romaine lettuce. Maybe do some spinach or something useful that isn't lettuce. You and I both know lettuce is like, whatever, what is this a salad or a quesadilla? I know I can ask for it without the lettuce but honestly why? Why the lettuce? Can we not guys? In the quesadilla? What are we doing here? Is the lettuce a practical joke? You some pranksters over there putting lettuce in quesadillas?

Pretty tasty burritos, huge size. I tried the hashbrown burrito, and it was pretty good. Edit: since then, I have been here 5+ times, I tried the carnitas burrito, Del Mar Burrito (my now favorite) and Caldo de rez (beef soup). I’d say the quality of the food is consistent at a 4+ stars, and service is always good. The employees take your order fast and the food is always delivered pretty fast. They have a salsa bar, which is always a great plus. Their chips were phenomenal and they lasted fresh in my fridge for days! Had the horchata and that was pretty darn good too. Overall the establishment seemed clean and the customer service was good. I would go back, though I’d try something new.

Even though we have been going to the H-Mart complex for decades, we’ve never dined at this establishment until last night. We were in the mood for some good Mexican food, and we decided to pick up something from this place, and boy were we pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the food. This place has a homey-yet-welcoming atmosphere with one of the widest menus I have seen with all kinds of Mexican dishes. I look forward to coming back here to try different dishes. The only downside is that while they do sell bottled beer, they do not have draft beer options.

EDIT: Please keep in mind that there is a 4% credit card charge, and they don't tell you about this anywhere. It's not marked on the receipt either, so it feels almost like deception. Tuesdays tacos are just under $2 a piece. As a result there was a decently long line even at 9pm, around 10min wait max. The tacos are truly amazing, and you can immediately taste the authentic Mexican flavors. Never tasted a better taco before.

Service is good, helpful staff, tastes of food good and portions are big enough to satisfy your hungry. It gets very busy (mostly to take out), staff work fast to attend demand.

Watch out for "Taco Tuesdays", it gets really crowded since they do a really good job on the tacos. Other stuffs like burritos and pozole soups are very good too. Try call in and order ahead of time in Tuesdays. Staff are very friendly. When they gets stress out, they still work with you and treat you nicely.

No frills, amazing Mexican food, it'll look like a dive but make no mistake, these folks know what amazing food is. Locals and tourists were amongst those dining the night we ate here, we had the grilled fish burrito, beef burrito, a meatball soup, and more that I can't remember. Everything was fresh, hot, and very well made. Generous portion sizes big enough for two meals. Prompt service, smiles all around. Minimal outdoor seating, decent amounts of indoor seating, but really you're not going for the ambiance.

Came here because I saw they had reasonably priced tacos and rolled tacos. Driving and parking is a mess in this shopping center, so beware of that. There aren't a ton of tables inside, especially compared to the amount of people who wanted to eat here. But we ordered to-go so it wasn't a big deal. We went on a Tuesday, so we were able to get the Taco Tuesday prices on "mini" tacos. I got carnitas, my husband got lengua. My kids got rolled tacos. The tacos were fantastic, stuffed with meat and toppings. The rolled tacos were also huge portions. And came with cheese, lettuce, tomato, guacamole. Strangely the lengua tacos did not come with guacamole but the carnitas did. So perhaps check if other toppings are different. Service was great, food tasted great. Bathroom was clean.

This is a pretty decent local taco shop. The taco tuesday deal is a good deal. I was very satisfied with the tacos. The burritos here are also good, especially their breakfast ones. That hash brown burrito is something special. My go to's here would be the hash brown burrito and the adobada tacos, or rolled beef tacos.
