Ordered 1 torta charra and it was better than expected. Between Chipotle down the street or this place. It will have to be this place every time hands down for authentic Mexican food and although the torta in used to are really big I couldn’t complain the taste was there and it was filling. Will be back for sure.

Be aware of poor hygienic conditions. Sold spoiled food. ( 2 out of 3 items were spoiled). The sauce container is oozing air out from bacterial overgrowth. !!!!!! If you order in person & wait you can see them taking frozen prepared meat and putting in on the grill.

I highly recommend this Mexican joint! I had the Burrito Chilango (Chorizo and steak) and it was amazingly fresh, hot, spicy, crispy and everything else you want from a burrito. Ask for it toasted or “durado” for a delicious crisp. The location is a little strange but don’t be fooled; this restaurant makes wonderful food!

I never write bad reviews but I had the worst experience here tonight…I ordered my food and picked it up…one item was missing all together…I ordered the hamburger which was listed under their taco section so I assumed it was a hamburger meat taco but they sent me 2 burgers…i ordered the beef brisket quesadilla and what was in my Quesadilla looks like Chicharrón…I called the restaurant and told them what happen and the women I spoke to told me that I was wrong and what’s in the quesadilla is beef brisket…I told her it wasn’t and she kept telling me I was wrong..I asked for a refund and she said she would have the owner call…he called me back very quickly but also proceeded to tell me I was wrong…I told

Fresh, authentic, inexpensive Mexican food. Their pico de gallo is hands down the best I’ve ever had.

Started enjoying the food crafted by Carlos with the Yellow truck at Jackie Robinson Park nearly 15 years ago and what continues today is great Al Pastor reminiscint of Ciudad Juarez/El Paso personally I prefer a tostada over a taco as its just a great balance between the Pork Pineapple Cojita Cheese and Beans on a crispy flat tortilla but also great as a taco, sope or even a burrito. If you are not into Al Pastor or Carnitas, they do great Pollo (chicken) tacos or be adventurous and try one of the many other proteins offered.

Ordered food and items were missing and pretty much the whole order was messed up along with food being undercooked . After speaking with the “owner” he informed us his “beef brisket” is a white meat and continued to argue instead of taking responsibility. Food was average at best but the customer service was horrendous from both staff and ownership .

We’ve been looking for good Mexican food for a long time. Finally found it with this place. Everything was great! Price point is also amazing. Their Mexican quesadilla made it so I can never have a regular quesadilla again, so good.

Amazing tacos! Good enough to not take off a star even though my order came with cilantro on the tacos when I’d requested without (maybe a small thing for most, but I really can’t stand cilantro, that’s my one really picky thing for food). Their hot sauce is among the best I’ve ever had.
