Thank you to the store manager Sink for making things right with our company and fixing our order from last week when we received spinach tacos instead of brisket.

So I come here a lot and I have recommended this place to a lot of people! But today’s service is was horrible!! Today was my first time taking my fiancé and the food was outstanding as always but Jennifer ruined our meal with her disgusting attitude.. my son felt really uncomfortable telling her what he wanted because of the negative vibe she was giving.. as far as the other 2 ladies they were polite and professional with smiles and manners but I really didn’t appreciate the way she looked us or took our order. My fiancé was pleased with the food and we will return I will refuse to tip someone with a nasty attitude..

EXCELLENT! Cashier gave the glowing recommendations of the Bahn mi tacos and they were absolutely amazing. Queso didn’t suck either. The tortillas and chips were most def TexMex! Very clean establishment. A very enjoyable meal and vibe. Thank you.

Got the Taco salad. Was good but the beef fajita quesadillas were the real star. The quesobirria was also delicious. Place had a neat ambience and nice staff. $12-$15 for most plates.

Stopped by for lunch today after passing by it a few times. For it being a weekday lunch hour, it was pretty empty. Ended orders a frito pie from the menu that was really good. They make the chili from brisket in house, and your could really tell. Had a read good flavor, and fresh taste. I only wish they put more Fritos in the bowl, but a minor complaint. Didn’t try any other food, but may soon.

Nice place to stop and have a lunch, me and my wife came to this place and were impressed. Never thought that tacos can be so tasty. They have nice crew in this restaurant who work hard and love their job. The atmosphere is pretty calm and its very clean. The had clean tables, forks and stuff. Men’s toilet was clean (don’t know about women’s but pretty sure the same) everything was working (soap, paper towels etc). Definitely we will come back to try other tacos and other plates!

The only shining star here is the queso fundido & that the menu has designated gluten free items. It comes on a hot cast iron that stays warm while you eat, corn tortillas are standard – probably store bought. It started bad with a jalapeño margarita tasting like fire and a pomegranate margarita that tasted like floor cleaning. Salsa is the right texture and temperature but missing the upmt that we wanted and required. Tacos where dry, flavorless and sad. Ceviche while beautifully displayed the limes are useless to use so you have to request others. Overall waste of 65$

All I can say is I ordered Mijas and they weren’t what I ordered! They didn’t have the tortillas strips or extra chorizo plus very watery. I didn’t have a very good experience experience for my 1st time at this establishment. The staff is very friendly but the food is a total waste of money 16 dollars for a breakfast plate and coffee!
