Food: 5 stars tacos. 3 stars others. Tuesday $1 tacos. Sunday 0.60$ tacos. Each meat had a distinct flavors. The red roasted salsa was excellent. The other salsas were good.

Atmosphere: 35 stars. Large comfortable cafeteria like. Has both booth and table seating. Semi open kitchen for you to watch the actions.

Service: 3.5 stars. Fast food service but very family friendly. They'll bring the food to table when they are not busy. Otherwise you pick up at counter. Salsa bar is adequate with 3 types of salsas and pickle jalapeño.
