I ordered pozole, one taco of carne asada. My husband ordered three tacos of carne asada. Pozole had no flavor, the meat was old and overcooked. The tacos are so small and the tortilla’s they used are cheap. Never again.

This was the worst mexican food I’ve had in years. It had no seasoning. I couldn’t even eat my food. My fiance wanted to try the place I was so mad to waist $30 on food. Never again. I spent most my day feeling sick to my stomach. After a few bites. So disgusting g. Try seasoning your food.

Used to be good/ potions small. If you add to your carne Asada burrito they take away the meat. Taco Bell size: paid 41$ for 3 tiny burritos. Not going back ever again.

The burrito wasn’t even full and barely had any carne asada. I asked to add cilantro, but no onions. When I bit into my burrito it had onions. The taste was good but not enough food inside the burrito to charge $11 – definitely not worth the price.

I’d never been here before. Outstanding customer service. I really didn’t know what I wanted so I ordered a carne asada torta to go. They’re huge and packed and oh so tasty. What I really love from this place are the chips. Hoo wee, perfectly salted, perfectly toasted, my goodness. I’ll definitely be back soon (probably tonight lol).

Great customer service! I have loved this place for over 7 years! Tonight I ordered tacos and got box taco shells! Never have I ever gotten hard boxed taco shells from them! I go here when I’m too lazy to fry my own! Just be sure to ask when ordering! I don’t want to turn anyone away, they have great food! I just hope this helps and that in the future they don’t cut corners on anyone.

Ordered chilaqueles , cuz there were so good here before. Today I ordered them and asked for sunny side up eggs. They were just oily , and no seasoning. Asked for a refund, and they say they don’t give refunds if you don’t like the food. Doesn’t say that anywhere. So got a carne asada burrito. Burrito was so plain tasting the rice and steak didn’t tast like it had seasoning. I dont know what happen to this place it used to be soooo good, and fresh.

Great tacos! I saw negative reviews and it annoyed me, because this place has great, flavorful tacos, generous with the meat and very affordable for what guy get.
