“ We came here after a hike and the carne asada hit the spot. I had an agua Fresca and it was yummy. We sat outside which was great. The service was amazing. Quick and easy. I'd go back for some tacos. ”
“ Very flavorful birria de rez. Food came out pretty quickly with some nice tortillas. Salsas are tasty. The dark one is really spicy but tastes great. Nice outdoors ambiance with cool Latin music playing. Will be back to try some more items. About $45 for 2 plates of food and jamaicas. A bit pricey but it was a good experience overall. ”
“ This was my first time here, and I had a carne asada burrito. The food was just okay; the burrito could have contained more meat and lacked flavor. The cucumber drink was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I would consider returning to try other items from the menu. The employees were friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. This place seems to attract quite a crowd. Next time, I'd like to try the tripa burrito. ”
“ Delicious Mexican food at a great price. The burritos and asada fries are excellent. The green sauce is probably the best I've ever had. ”
“ This place is sooo good. Tacos are amazing and the people working are so nice. Also love the seating area outside. Its right next to a liquor store too so you can grab some beers there and eat at their patio. Will definitely be coming again. ”
