Stopped in quickly while running errands , just as they opened; & grabbed a chicken quesadilla to go. AWESOME!! I didn’t want rice&beans so they gave me double salad. This is so good, I cannot wait to go back & try burrito & some tacos - well, maybe try everything. Place is clean, attractive, & wonderfully simple. The focus is on great food - fresh & tasty. Staff is so friendly & nice, He brought my lunch out to me because I was waiting outside. I got the green sauce - which has just the right kick (not a fan of super spicy) I will definitely go back!!

Authentic limited Mexican food. We tried their tacos and their homemade tortillas stole the show. The best meal there would have to be the tacos. We tried their birria, al pastor and asada. I tried their quesadilla and it was also yummy. You can tell they make their food with love. It’s a family own business. The son works at the front and the parents cook in the back. I think his nickname is Pelon and he is super friendly and customer service is 5 star. Will definitely come back and highly recommend.

The food is always great. Their tamales and birria tacos are my favorite on the menu. Come on the weekends for tamales! The people here are warm and the atmosphere is overall friendly. I come here at least once a month, usually more. I'd say my favorite place to eat in the area, easy.

This is a good place to get steak tacos, beans and rice. They do not have much to choose from to drink. No tea or lemonade. Just water and soda. The waitress was very nice. The restaurant was clean beside the table and menus needed to be wiped off. But for authentic Mexican food at a good price it was nice. My husband and I will try it again.

Simple but outstanding. Dined in. Fresh, great flavors. Fantastic service - fast, friendly, and the made sure to check in a couple times, brought extra napkins (it was taco Tuesday after all), and even obliged me by picking the taco meat options for my 4 tacos when I was having trouble choosing. Beans and rice were possibly the best I’ve ever had in this genre of cuisine. If I lived here this would be my go to place, but since I’m only here for a couple days I guess I’ll have to come back tomorrow! Support this place, they have a good thing going!

Was in the area for a short time so wanted to try a local place and I am glad I did! Got a burrito, and it was delicious. Staff was super friendly and very efficient/ hard working. Place was clean as well, the only thing is the place could benefit from maybe one extra table or so, only because they were all full when I walked in lol (good sign)

This little taqueria was so good. They make their own fresh tortillas there and the food was all fantastic. We had carnitas and al pastor tacos and my daughter had a steak quesadilla. Very nice staff as well.

My wife (Tex-Mex) & I (Cali-Mex) absolutely love this spot. She loves the Tripa tacos & I love the Al Pastor tacos, they taste amazing. The staff is always attentive & quick with taking & prepping our order. We appreciate them playing great music too!
