I have been going here for almost 5 years and every time I go I always love it. The food is perfect authentic Mexican cuisine. The service is great. Every single one of the employees knows English very well and I never have any problems trying to communicate (I know that sounds kind of racist, but I’m saying that because most people that come from places outside of the United States haven’t learned the English language well yet). The atmosphere is great except for the bathrooms which are a bit dirty and are not very clean. Overall I give this restaurant 5 stars!

My partner is a chef of 16 years and said this is the best Mexican food he’s had in years. If you pull up in the parking lot and second guess going inside based on the exterior appearance, just. go. in. You will not be disappointed. The tequila orange carnitas is the best we have ever had.

This is one of our favorite low-key Mexican spots to eat. The staff is always friendly and it is never crowded. The food is always amazing no matter what we get. This place has been around since I was a teenager and has consistently been one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. So glad they have lasted through the years.

We underestimated this place by the outer appearance forsure. We decided to give it a try and we were blown away with how nice the staff was and the clean environment inside. The food not to mention was AMAZING. We will definitely be back. If you’re reading the reviews because of the outer appearance, this is your thumbs up to go inside and try it, you will not be disappointed. New favorite forsure!!

Not the place to go for authentic tacos. You will find better tacos that are cheaper in almost any other Mexican restaurant/taqueria. The price point doesn’t match the quality. I’ve been here before and eaten other dishes besides tacos and it was okay and wasn’t terribly priced. But tacos are not their specialty

It was our first time at this restaurant and the outside appearance could be a little more inviting but the food and staff definitely make up for that. The Pina Colada with sugar was absolutely delicious and so was my husband’s and my meal. The staff was very friendly. Glad we checked it out because we definitely will be back!

First time here and we got the taco salad… it was good, beans weren’t straight from a can, which is a plus, shell was Delicious! I enjoyed it, I came to get my mom, who can only eat pureed food so I WAS going to get her tortilla soup but because the meat was so soft in the taco salad I decided to get her one with out the shell tomato & she enjoyed it as well!!! I’ll definitely be back!

I stop in at this Mexican from time to time for lunch. They have gone downhill the last few visits. Today first I got the wrong order and the server could not understand this. Simple order Speedy with chicken and rice. Few minutes later new food came out. No meat in the food. No one came back by,. I will not be stopping in this place again.
