Had to ask twice to get more than a teaspoon of sour cream with the quesadilla and then they came back with about a teaspoon and a half! The photo shows the “extra” amount. They also charge extra for debit card payments and it’s not listed in the menu or anywhere visible in the store. The service felt like like a cold shoulder despite us being polite to them. Street ?s were not good at all. There was a random leaf of spinach in one as if they got a Walmart salad mix and sprinkled it across the tacos.

The food was delicious!I’ll definitely be coming back here, but I hope the service is better next time.I came in less than an hour before closing, and it took a while to get our food, which I know takes time to make, so that’s okay. However, it also took like 5 minutes to get water and chips and salsa when there were only two other occupied tables, and the manager had to remind our server to bring those out to us. It's not a big deal, but it irked me a little.

This is a wonderful place to eat! I've been eating there for nearly a decade now and never grow tired of the food. That my wife knew about the place when we were dating was proof that she and I were meant to be. Be aware that the same menu item can taste quite different visit to visit. I think that is one of the charms of this location. The owners are unbelievably wonderful people and care about their customers in ways that go well beyond their way of making a living.

Amazing food!! I got the sweet pork burrito and my boyfriend got the barbacoa and we both fell in love with our food. The portions were huge!! That’s a bonus for me as it feels more in line with the traditional Mexican culture. This was a very authentic tasting restaurant and we were very pleased!! We will definitely be coming back here. The customer service was very friendly and helpful as well, if a little slow to serve us in the beginning.

Food was so delicious. Only got a picture of the Mole burrito, but every thing we ordered was amazing! Great service too.

Ordered Togo for the grilled chicken meal and they told me 15 min wait. Pick up was great they didn’t forget anything even got the salsa :) the chicken is very good and reminds me of the chicken back home in AZ! Comes with rice and beans both very good and flavored! Friendly staff even though they were very busy! Will definitely be back!!

Servers are always super nice. Wide variety in the menu with prices that are accessible. My only comment would be that the quality is not as consistently high as it used to be in their early days. Still, a good place for Mexican food.

The workers were very nice and I loved the outside seating and inside was fine. Mainly the food was not good. I love any Latin food and this was very bland. It tasted just like meat wrapped up with a can of store bought green enchilada sauce dump on it. I was really unimpressed with the food. Also it was really frustrating trying to read the menu. The foods listed had no description of the items. We constantly had to ask our waitress what was in the items.

Huevos rancheros: Egg is runny clear liquid on the top and burnt on the bottom. Rice tastes like it’s a day old. The only thing that tastes really good is the refried beans… not a great experience especially for the price
