The Velas run an outstanding operation here. The food is always excellent, the portions are huge, everything is fresh, and it's consistent with each visit. They are so nice and friendly. The kindness and love they show you is cooked into the food as well. Authentic Mexican cuisine through and through. Once in a while I'll get the hot dog or burger, because its better from there than when I go to actual hot dog and burger spots. This spot just doesn't disappoint. We have a little event coming up and we're going to have them cater it because we know it will be a hit. We're excited to have them all to ourselves...

Just ordered through doordash and food was okay, I ordered a carne asada but doesnt seem or taste like carne asad, meat was raw like half way cooked like nah. Small portions and it said it came with guacamole but gave us cilantro and onions like that's for tacos dude. Either way, it was cheap so I didn't expect much. I did had high hopes.

Edit: they also gave us...
