This was my favorite place until a few months ago quality and service are severely lacking! Got a burnt torta and called immediately to report problem (takeout) went in two days later to get problem resolved (restaurant not in my area of town) and they did nothing to try to keep this client. Very disappointed!

Gross food, we had a California burrito and a carne asada burrito, I told my son it was garbage and yes it was, on top of being nasty it was cold, I guess this type of food is delicious to the homeless or the drunks, an insult to Mexican food, looked and tasted like vomit

Came here at 7:35 in the morning the chef was there to take my order and he cooked up a beautiful chilaquiles with delicious salsa Verde. Coffee was OK ;) but the food and everything was great

Dirty table's and sticky enamel is fading from wiping down clean. People visiting place are not Mexican so restaurant gets away with food it's serving and claimes to be a Mexican experience of veryety of foods from Mexico. The food is geto food. Frezer to microwave tortillas are hard be for you know it. Presentation is similar to a "Mexican restaurant" money wise $15.00 not bad , excerpt food is not worth it. Stik to a restaurant you know or so Wat normal pepole do if you want Mexican food go to restaurants that are not geto Mexican restaurants. I'll atmit I have stumbled on to good geto food. NOTE: I was younger and fast life I did not care who enterd the establishment wher i was having somthing to eat. This restaurant is not worth taking time to experience the stoped caring know it like a fast food.no Mexicans go the so know one knows Wat to complain about. Mexican food melts in your mouth...

Despite the darkness of the lights being off over the dining areas I was in a hurry and hungry. Some of the specials signs were not all too clear to me regarding price and what it included so I ended up just getting a carne asada burrito.

The salsa both green and red were not spicy but they tasted great. This spot is 5 minutes from my job site so I'm definitely coming back. The server/cashier was nice. She spoke both English and Spanish. I didn't really pay too much attention to the actual location as I was in and out...

From the outside, it doesn't really seem like there would be a taco shop inside...I guess the inside is better than what you would think on the outside. There's quite a lot of seating here, there's a good menu at fair prices. The staff is nice and the food came out pretty quickly, but that depends on what you order and how many people are there.

I only got a breakfast burrito, with beans, eggs, potatoes, cheese. They use fries, but seem more fresh cut that the oily type. For the price, it's a very large burrito, it can be hard to finish. If you dine-in, you also get chips and salsa. There are two types of salsa - a more green salsa with cilantro and onion, and a well blended dark red one. Both are pretty spicy.

Overall, this is a good try for a...
