I went here on a Sunday afternoon with my sister. The service was excellent (in spite of them not knowing English very well) and the food was flavourful!
Chips & Salsa- the chips were freshly fried and came complimentary with dining inside! They were not as dense as they looked! It was light and tasty! The salsa tasted very fresh. My sister felt some heat from it but I couldnāt say the same! 4.5/5
Esquite- absolutely delicious! It was sliced corn from the cob topped with mayo, lime juice, tajin and chili powder. I could eat multiple bowls of this. The tang from the lime juice and tajin mixed with the creaminess of the mayo is a nice balance on your palate. Not spicy! 5/5
Quesabirria and ConsommƩ- these were nicely crisp and the cheese melty! My sister thought the beef was too chewy so this did not resonate with her well. I thought it was chewy, but not so chewy. Maybe it was the choice in meat cut. The consommƩ was delicious and not overly salty! They just have to get the beef texture more soft. 4/5
Chorizo California Burrito- the chorizo was delicious, a bit over cooked but still delicious! The burrito also could have been more crispy! They green chili sauce paired amazingly with this burrito because it added an acidity that was needed to cut the heaviness of the burrito. 4/5
Horchata- it was very refreshing, it could be just a little less sweet but Iāve had extremely sweet horchatas before so this one was a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe restaurant was very clean. The guy taking my order was nice, only slightly helpful when ordering, but nice. The menu need more pics. I probably would've ordered more if I knew what it was. Now let's get into this food review. AMAZING!!! I ordered beef Birria, chicken Birria, chicken quesadilla, one shrimp taco, and one fish taco. We went for birria's, but I had to order more just to really get a feel for their food, just for this review. Y'all are welcome š. The Birrias were good, my niece loved hers, it was good but nothing special to me, but I'll order it again. The quesadillas were good, better than the ones from the larger chain restaurants that I've ordered from in the past. They were full of meat which was nice bc most places put more cheese than meat. The tacos... oh hunny, those tacos gave me life... I legit almost slapped my momma! I am definitely going back for those! They were full and they didn't skip out on the filings. The shrimp had 3 large shrimp, and the fish taco was packed too. The sauces that were included were really good and fresh. Everything tasted fresh, everything was hot, everything is worth going back for! Bravo y'all, BRAAAVO...

We were greeted with a smile and given FRESH chips with a lovely salsa. The chips were literally too hot to touch at first because they were just made from homemade corn tortillas. Seriously good chips.
I ordered el pastor tacos and a shrimp taco. My other half go a chicken California burrito. The flavor of the el pastor was a bit different than Iāve had at the million other taquerias Iāve been to, but still good. The shrimp was lightly breaded and fried to perfection (super crisp outside and tender inside) and the coleslaw topping complimented it well. All the tacos were served on delicious homemade corn tortillas.
The burrito was good and large, but weird LOL - it had French fries IN the burrito. My other half ate the whole thing without complaint and said it was good.
Itās a small place next to a gas station so not a 5-star interior, but there are no shortcomings when it comes to the food. Go for the chips and stay...
