Very good food and customer service. Had problem with my initial order and the owner was so nice to take care of it as he doesn’t like his clients unhappy. Amazing service I received and the food is the bomb!!! My first time ordering from there and it was a take out. Next time I’ll done in. Great atmosphere.

I was very loud. The food was burnt and we were not served with dishes. We had the fajitas. It was very dark. Had to use phone flashlight to read menus. Service was shoty, there were four or five servers that took our order. Was not a good time. Will not pass there threshold again.

Really great food and service. My favorite is the chorizo tacos with corn tortillas made fresh daily. Definately a place to visit.

Awesome chimichanga. Asked for it extra crispy and was not disappointed. Complete with beans and rice w veg. Even came with sour cream AND some badass fresh guac.

Last night my family and I came here to eat. We arrived and were seated immediately, great start. Then we waited for about 10 minutes to get our orders taken which is fine. After our orders were placed we waited for 1 hour and 30 minutes to receive our food. The store was understandably busy but guests who arrived after us received their food before us. On top of the food arriving more than an hour late, everything was cold. I’m sure this restaurant can do better but this was my personal experience for my first time there. I won’t be coming back.

The food is very average, the place is a bit uncomfortable… It is used for emergencies.

Food from this restaurant has always been good. Today, I had an unpleasant experience. I placed an order for pick up, I was told 35 minutes. Arrived 45 minutes later, food was not ready. Waited for over 20 minute. While waiting, I noticed 2 of the waitresses with masks down sitting down and talking while wrapping up utensils( I think these are the ones given to customers). They were also sitting down with a customer and he was eating (no mask of course). This of course, not social distancing. Making these observations make me wonder what the guidelines are while staff is cooking the food. I’m hoping they have masks on. We are still in the middle of a pandemic and things like this make scare.

I ordered food for pick up. I was told it would be ready in 20 min. I didn’t get my food until 45 min. I only got it because I spoke with the manager and he went inside the kitchen and got it himself. I didn’t receive an apology or anything for the long wait. Food was ok . The pupusas could use more flavor and filling on the edge. The flan was bland . It was very small and I didn’t finish it because it was so bland. Disappointed overall
