Great, quick lunch options and the rice bowls are one of the few healthy-ish choices in this area.Today their rice bowls are $15.99. Yesterday they were $9.99. Unfortunately wewon’t be able to come much anymore. There is price adjustment to keep up with inflation, and then there’s owners taking advantage.

Grabbed a bite to eat before work recommend by my boss. I ordered the chicken quesadilla with a side of guacamole. Everything was great! The quesadilla was fresh and good. The guacamole was really good!! I’m not sure if the packets of white sauce was sour cream but I didn’t care for that too much. It didn’t taste like anything in my opinion. Other than that it was awesome!! I’ll be back to try more.

My wife and I went there for date night.We did not like the food AT ALL!! We ordered the steak quesadilla, the meat was way to salty and very little cheese wrapped up like a beef patty. They gave us a pack of sour cream that was watery in a ketchup package. I wouldn't go back there or recommend it to any of my friends and family.

I placed an order through Uber Eats and the owner (I believe) gave me a call to review my order due to having specifications. He was very sweet and understood and provided me explanations on reasons for certain things. He was even receptive to the feedback I provided and went the extra mile to incorporate the feedback as well. I just recently moved here a few months ago and saw nothing but good reviews and had to give it a try. This is my 3rd time ordering and they don’t disappoint. I will most likely be returning!

They were really quick on a Friday around 6pm! Ordering was easy. Glad it wasn’t a complicated menu. They got my order wrong in that the burrito didn’t have any pico. So it was pretty heavy to eat.

The food is amazing!!!!!Jon catered our youth mentorship program.They are a great spot for catering large groups as well as prime lunchbreak spot or after hour place to grab a bite before heading in for the night with their late hours.

This definitely seems like a college kid place for sure...with that being said, I would not come here to get dinner because you will be left hungry and probably a little disappointed. We ordered a chicken rice bowl, veggie quesadilla and 3 tacos (carnitas, chicken and steak) along with 2 churros. The churros were probably my favorite part of the meal...and they weren't perfect, pretty greasy and oily tasting. The veggie quesadilla was pretty good in taste, the veggies were not greasy or anything like you typically get with veggie quesadillas, but the size of it was tiny...it reminded me of a panini. The rice bowl was just an all-around waste of money. The rice was actually still hard...we ended up just throwing it out since it was practically inedible. The tacos were typical...while pretty expensive. The meat was just tough and dry so the tacos weren't that enjoyable. The saving grace could be the sauce they provide...but I think it's weird to charge extra for a little packet. Overall, I don't suggest getting food here if you aren't a drunk college kid.

Fantastic "fast food" Mexican. Take away only and no seating on the sidewalk. Fairly limited menu, but it's fast and pretty authentic. Also one of only a couple places serving food late in the neighborhood. Cali burrito and Chicken Quesadilla are my go to eats typically, but the tacos are great too. The portions are very generous, but the prices are a little high, but I consider them fair. Be sure to get some fresh made guac while you're at it.

We were really looking forward to trying this place based on the good photos of the food and reviews. Overall a major let down. The vegetable "quesadilla" was the size of a sandwich with two pieces, the cheese inside for some reason wasn't melted and did not taste that great. Their tacos are extremely expensive even though the menu picture implies each taco order includes 3 tacos... all of the meats steak, chicken, and pork were tough. Their tacos are small and cost $4 each...The tacos had no other toppings except the meat and some cilantro and lime juice. We also had a bean and rice bowl with chicken, the rice was undercooked and the chicken was over cooked... The cheese on this was not melted at all!Really wish I went to Taco Bell as I was left hungry...

Visited specifically on Taco Tuesday and got steak, carnita, and chorizo tacos.Tacos were served on only a single corn tortilla (not two), but thr tortilla seemed to hold up to everything ok. They put plenty of cilantro and onion, so these are definitely the freshest tacos I've had in the Fed Hill area so far.The meat on all three was well-cooked and tender, but the only standout one was the chorizo since the flavour was better. The sauces were much needed. The green sauce was pretty bland/mild, but the red sauce was fire ?.All-in-all, I was pretty satisfied. I'd recommend visiting if only just for Taco Tuesday.
