  • This is BY FAR!!!!! My ABSOLUTE favorite Mexican restaurant !!!!! Whenever I can ( I moved an hr n 40 mins away) I stop in to get the burrito el pastor . Their burrito el pastor is hands down better than any other el pastor I have EVER had anywhere else. I've tried to get it at other spots but it's never seasoned correctly or the pineapple is hardly there. Their creamy Sriracha style sauce ommmmmggggg!!!!!!!! I've had sandwiches too and dinner plates wow!!!! They are inexpensive and PHENOMENAL!!!! I have been coming here since 2016!!! I love their food and it's never packed or uncomfortable but they are busy but they are fast and you get your food QUICKLY and Plentiful too!!! I am an absolute repeat customer and would recommend for ANYONE to go!!!!

  • I love this place, The tacos are to die for literally!! Everything is cooked perfectly, and the ingredients are fresh. I recommend basically everything from the menu. Also, the main waitress is a sweetheart.

  • Hands down best AUTHENTIC Mexican food in the city. They are friendly, offer high quality food. They always get my orders right despite a bit of a language barrier! They are family owned and I love supporting them anytime I have a craving for tacos or enchiladas. Just note - They do use a lot of spices so their food is seasoned to perfection. (Here’s a photo of the tacos, my video wouldn’t upload)

  • Insanely good food for the price. The best caramel flan I’ve had in a long time. Absolutely delicious!

  • Excellent authentic Mexican food! They have a very extensive menu but my go-to is the al pastor burrito which is huge and perfectly seasoned. I can never finish it in one sitting. Also love the chips with their homemade sauces. The restaurant itself is quite small and no frills, but the food is delicious and comes out quickly.

  • I've come here for years the consistency of quality and service is always on point. I usually get the shrimp burrito, it is a great mix of fresh ingredients with a ton of perfectly cooked shrimp - maybe my favorite thing to eat of all time. Every order comes with tortilla chips and their two homemade sauces which are great. I usually order takeout but dined in for the first time recently and am blown away by the presentation of the food and quality of service. The space is really nicely decorated and comfortable and everyone who works there is very kind.

  • Went in hoping for a burrito after glancing at some reviews but found none on the menu. It is mostly sandwiches, cemitas and platters. After ordering mixed fajitas I was delivered two ramekins, one of salsa, the other of queso (?), and a small basket of chips. The salsa had some spice to it but wasn't too much to handle. The queso was good though it reminded me more of a spicy mayo. The chips had a nice thickness and were very crunchy. The mixed fajitas were a decently sized plate of meats and peppers, along with refried beans and rice, and a handful of tortillas. From the dining room you can see the cook making your food so you know everything is hot and fresh. The meats were well seasoned but not overly so. The tortillas were just ok - seemed like warmed average grocery tortillas - a real shame given the great tortilla options nearby. Service was nice, attentive but not over bearing. The atmosphere was lacking - loud TVs, small, out dated dining room, cluttered decorations.

  • My ultimate favorite family owned Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood! I always get the Enchiladas Verdes de Pollo, it’s my ultimate favorite comfort food of all time. I highly recommend their delicious and filling tortas and their authentic quesadillas. I love their carne asada and carnitas, but truly you can’t go wrong with any thing on their menu. They also have every best soda you can ever think of. And the staff will make you feel at home the moment you walk in. Everything is made in house and so fresh, including their house tortilla chips, salsas and delicious chipotle cream. So much love in the food and so freaking yummy!!!
