I went during lunch last Monday. This place has been on my list for a while and I finally had a chance to go.

The breakfast tacos are pretty decent. The bacon, egg cheese, and potato may be the best. The Al Pastor is not so good. The meat is really tender but it lacks flavor and pineapples. The beef fajita tacos aren’t really giving it’s just beef onion and cilantro. The salsa is OK but I’ve had better. Overall, you’ll need salt as most of the items I’ve had really seem to lack flavor.

This local venue is small but clean. We stopped in this Tex Mex / Mexican restaurant for a Sunday lunch. The chips and salsa were tasty, the salsa is thin as opposed to the veggie chunky kind. I had cheese enchiladas rancheras and my wife had cheese enchiladas tejanas. We also had a side of hot, fresh corn tortillas. The food comes in generous portions but is only okay. Not inspired to go back necessarily. Also, my wife was annoyed that they turned on the television to a movie…. and had the sound on….. disrupting the dining experience. Prices are very reasonable. Parking is out front.

My food was completely different from what I ordered. I should’ve checked it before I left. Both of my burrito plates were missing rice, beans, and salad. My enchiladas were made different from the picture. I will never be back again. Check your order before you leave. And on top of that it was cold as ice.

Steer clear of this place. Claims to be authentic Mexican food but it’s just abysmal texmex. Ordered 3 tacos for almost 15$ and was served something straight out of a school cafeteria. Then my girlfriend almost choked on an entire toothpick that was left in her taco bowl. Shockingly enough our server tried to charge us for the taco bowl after we drew attention to the toothpick and didn’t touch it for the rest of the meal (took 4 bites tops). The restaurant was also freezing and had a TV blasting in the corner. Absolutely not coming back and I don’t recommend you try it either.

The food is very good, portions are big and prices are reasonable. The restaurant looks clean and the staff is very friendly. Just keep in mind that the place is small so it can get packed quickly, specially on weekends. Food is made to order so if you are looking for a place to get a quick meal, this might not be a good choice for you unless you visit Tuesday through Friday from 11 AM to 1:30 PM when they offer lunch buffet.

The food is so fresh and it came out super fast. It’s full service but they let you order at the counter which is cool if you’re on a limited lunch break.

So rude. I ordered breakfast tacos. On the phone it was hard to communicate but I made it very clear I wanted a bacon ham and egg breakfast taco. They gave me a pile of bacon and ham wrapped in a flour tortilla. I called them to let them know and see what they could do and the lady on the phone hung up on me without saying anything…

Sadly one of my favorite hidden gems is no longer what it used to be. Quality of the food has tanked along with customer service. I went this past weekend hoping my last visit was a fluke but I’m sad to say I won’t be returning. When I entered the location I noticed a couple eating but left shaking their heads after just a few bites. We placed our orders anyways but after waiting 10 minutes for our beverages we decided to leave also. I’m saddened knowing yet another gem has been destroyed but I look forward to finding a new one.
