The customer service was great & the food was delicious! I ordered 2 steak & one chicken taco. Meat flavoring is usually my issue with tacos; these weren't super seasoned, but they weren't bland. Once you add some salsa, they're perfect. Chips are included. They're also reasonably priced! I almost forgot to take a pic but, I snapped one before I ate too much of it.
Food is fantastic, one of the best burritos I've had since leaving the west coast. Place looked very clean and the service was friendly even with it being close to closing time. Only gripe if I had to have one is the limited hours, especially on the weekends. I'm not a University student and am typically here weekend nights.
I went here and ordered the birria tacos, horchata, and chips and queso. The service was amazing, the food was spectacular and the flavors were amazing. The food came promptly and was delivered still steaming. The tacos were delicious and came with salsa and consome which was also flavorful. The chips were delicious and strong but perfectly crunchy. The queso was an amazing side dish and it truly is the best Latin food around. The horchata added a crisp sweetness that complimented my meal wonderfully. The ambiance was warm and the restaurant was clean! I loved it and will be returning soon with friends.
Good food, good people, nice establishment! I've never had a bad dish here! I've had their soft shell beef tacos, hard shell beef tacos, hard shell chicken tacos, beef nachos, chicken nachos, salad, steak breakfast tacos, breakfast potatoes and my favorite beverage is their in house Hibiscus tea! Large portions, fresh ingredients, fast service. Inside and outside seating available. Lunch rush is always crazy but worth it!
Ben here twice now. I just discovered this place. Each time I have gotten tacos and they are very good. The ambience is chill, friendly staff and quick service. Definitely will return again.
