I had the beef rolled tacos and carnitas quesodilla, and both were absolutely delicious. Good prices too. I'll be going back next time I'm in the area for sure.

The prices here are fantastic and nice portions. The location is need of some improvements but can understand that may be what keeps the price point so low compared to other places. The staff was helpful to make suggestions as was a first time visit and recommended the chile verde. I did want Chile Verde meat added to the nachos but was a misunderstanding of when I said to add Chile Verde they just added green sauce not Chile verde meat.

Delicious food! Had the burrito and quesadilla. Both very well prepared! The green sauce was lacking a little. Lots of other options available. Very filing! Saved some of the burrito for later -- continued to taste excellent as leftovers. Service is friendly and quick. Parking is plentiful. Shares space in an old house with other food and drink places. Cool spot, delicious food, very enjoyable!

A really nice little Mexican spot with nice outdoor seating. I had the veggie burrito and it was definitely tasty. Their red salsa has a really good kick to it, I would definitely recommend it if you like spicy food. Burrito was a decent size and I would recommend you give this place a shot if you are in the area.

Kind staff. Fast service. Reasonable prices. I got the fish and shrimp taco plate. The fish taco was perfectly cooked and tasted great. The shrimp could have used more flavors but other than that it was delicious.
