I tried this place for the first time and it was disgusting. I ordered two burritos, one steak and one chicken, the chicken was dry and flavorless and the steak was like eating jerky. It was disgusting. the rice had no flavor and was hard to swallow. I also had specific instructions for the chicken burrito I said it four times what I wanted and they couldn't get it right! I am beyond disappointed. If I could give a half a star to no star I would!

Absolutely love this place! Everything from the food to the service, and how nice the owners and staff are. This spot is a hidden gem.

First time here and my family and I fell in love with this place. The owner was so pleasant and kind.If you are in the area and are looking for an authentic Mexican food, THIS IS THE PLACE. Trust me you will not regret it!

By far the worst experience. Not only was the food disgusting, but the level of service I received was just as bad. My entire party of 5 all spent the night curled up in the fetal position with severe stomach pain! Do yourself a favor and find another place to eat.

To sum it up this restaurant was absolutely disgusting! The owner gave us "complimentary" chips that were stale and tasted like cardboard along with a bean dip that was so cold, the cheese wasn't even melted!! He said it was complimentary, but after I received the appetizer that I actually ordered(street corn)and that tasted like moldy feet, I decided I wasn't okay with getting food poisoning, canceled my order and asked for the check!! The owner proceeded to tell me it was $38 for 5 street corn and the "complimentary beans and stale chips"that he charged me for!! If I could give 0 stars I would, however, Google does not allow that!!I rarely do reviews on Google, but felt compelled to warn others...BEWARE!! ??

Great authentic food, atmosphere/decor & most importantly happy, super friendly owner/staff. Thank you guys!!!

First and foremost, the customer service was wonderful and welcoming. They make you feel like family there; very attentive and nice.The vibe is colorful as well with an authentic Mexican feel.With all of the above said, unfortunately the food didn't live up to my expectations. I tried the following.Tacos: ?- Al pastor - very salty and over cooked- Asada - over cooked, chewy- Carnitas - not enough salt and flavor- Barbacoa - taco was drenched and lacking flavor. Like dipping the taco water before eating it.- Pollo - I could've finish this one, chewy, overcooked, and had a beer peculiar flavor to it*Also, the tortillas were stale and hard in places when it's supposed to be soft corn ? tortilla.** Only positive was the portions. Avg. Person could fill up on 3 of these.Rice and beans: ?- This was ok. Plain red rice and refried beans, but it was topped with stressed cheddar ? instead of queso fresco.Churros:- theses tasted good and were in bite sizes but unfortunately all were doughy in the center.Conclusion:- If the food was halfway decent of at three very least good. I would've given this place a 5 Star ⭐ review. It's a shame, the customer service and vice is excellent and the food is barely acceptable.

Best Mexican restaurant by far and I've been to many! Everything is amazing; the food, the servers, and the atmosphere. They have authentic tacos that are big, the best micheladas, horchata, and more! If your looking for authentic Mexican food this is the place to go!!

So good! This place is beautiful inside, love the authentic decoration and the rodeo on the TV. The service is incredible, the owners are so kind and value their customers, also love the family oriented vibe paying homage to their grandfather Don Efren. The food is incredible, the surf and turf is my favorite. Definitely my go to for Mexican food!

Great service and food was delicious ?
