Nice service but cashier did not speak English

This place is crawling with roaches! They are even in the picture frames containing the business license! I went to get food (which is highly priced) only to see numerous roaches crawling on the food station and walls! Beware!

The food is okay sometimes it's good sometimes it's not it depends on the cook they have the service is okay the wait time on the food it's unacceptable

Amazing traditional cuisine with mouthwatering flavors and fast service.

Horrible food. Horrible service. Dirty place.

Food Very Good. The Atention very nice.

Kind of a hidden gem at least when it comes to the torta I tried my first visit there. After walking in, it looks like a small cafeteria.Despite being literally located next door to the more popularly known La Placita and having to order my carryout through quite a narrow opening between their food prep counter and register in a corner, the breaded chicken torta for $6.31 is not only the best price but also best value. It's just as good as La Placita's $7 version but also with more chicken meat. Right amount of fresh toppings and little more generous on the cheese than the average torta in the neighborhood. Although a few parts of the chicken was very slightly tough, it wasn't dry and I only needed to bite very slightly harder than usual. At least I didn't have to grip it hard to try ripping the chicken off like I had to with few other restaurants' tortas.On my second visit, thought I try a couple tacos besides ordering the breaded chicken torta again. Although the parking lot in the front was full, I followed another car entering on the right to find out they have more parking spaces behind the building. Surprisingly it looks even bigger than La Placita's parking lot. From there, I realized you can take the stairs in the back to head straight to the order window to rather than walking around to the front.As I peeped through the window before and after placing my order, I watched in awe ladies rolling out tortilla dough. I ended up ordering breaded chicken torta along with carnitas and cecina tacos. I felt like I had foodgasm just from feeling the tortilla's texture given that it's warm and housemade while chewing away the tacos.Somehow for the torta they put in 2 cutlets this time but they were thinner which pretty much matches the portion like the last time. I was blown away even more because this time the cutlets had no tough spots at all and were crunchier.Blender fresh cantaloupe juice for $3 seems reasonable for their so-called large cup although it looks equivalent to medium elsewhere.The con may be that you'll have to speak Spanish with the staff. You can always use the Google translate app though off your phone.

Food is good, ricos tacos??

No AC and is very dirty place

They raise the price and they putting a lot less food on the taco will not be going back
