The food doesn't have any flavor, it tastes like the chef ran it through the dishwasher. Honesty, it was revolting. On her worst days, my Mexican fiancee can cook 50 times better.

The food is very expensive I understand prices for stuff have been raising lately but come on also I went recently and the cashier lady was very rude to me. I don't think I will be ordering from here anymore its sad how the place changed alot.

This place is great. The food is authentic. Portions are large. A very good value. Service is reasonable. We go here often.

Hello customers,As a local reviewer, I must be honest with you. This has been my favorite Mexican restaurant for a long time. However, my last visit there a few weeks ago was less then desirable. The prices have changed which is to be expected due to Covid. However, the price increase was not updated on their website or by employee when placing my order via phone. My total bill was quite a bit increased compared to prior visits. Also, my order was supposed to include tortillas for two individuals both orders of tortillas were forgotten. Also, the meat was over cooked. I love this Mexican restaurant. However, I believe it would be highly recommended for the increase in prices to be verbalized to customers at start of order & a little more detail was placed into to go orders.Thank you your faithful customer.

Wait time got a lot better. Used to have to wait over an hour for 10 tacos and now it's 15-20 minutes. Tacos are great, and prices are fair.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in town, friendly service and great tasted food.

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else around the area that has better customer service, practice good hygiene, and who cares about you as a customer. I live 30 mins away from this restaurant. I called before I left my house for my order ( thinking by the time I reached there it would be ready.) Absolutely not! I even made a quick 5 min stop prior. Once I arrived there was 5 people waiting. I thought ok they are alittle behind. I asked about my order the older lady with the glasses in the front said " they are making it now it'll be 5 mins." I said ok. I can't lie I was a bit disappointed because I like to grab my food and go. I waited over 20 mins literally watched her hand out others food before mine. So I went and asked how much longer she laughs and says I am sorry 5 mins. While I am waiting I noticed nobody has gloves on, and there was a lady coughing in her hands then touching the food so once I seen that I just left. All I know was it wasn't meant for me to eat their food because who knows what germs they spread making that food but I will never visit this place ever again nobody had mask on , no one had gloves making the food, and she lied regarding the time of my order.

I ordered 2 single burritos and an enchilada meal and they charged me for $37. Their menu was listed for $25 plus tax.

Food was very good. Great variety. Pricing also very good. The only negatives were slow service at a restaurant that was almost empty, and the hot food was put on cold plates, so it cooled very quickly. If you aren't in a rush, worth stopping by.

Clean and well maintained place! Servers can be more friendly but the food is great. Huaraches are the best!
