"Just ordered chicken, barbacoa, and pastor tacos. The chicken was a little dry, but still tasted good. Barbacoa and pastor were good. My tacos were full and the grilled onions on top made it even better. I liked the green sauce, but was very watery. Will definitely be back"

"This is what it's supposed to be like! I happened upon this place by chance and so glad that I did! I was greeted with a fist bump and a smile and made to feel welcome. I asked a few questions and ordered. I received my order as fast as could be expected and could tell as soon as I felt the weight of the bag that I was getting my money's worth. The beef quesedilla was incredible! The beef was tender and juicy. The sauces (red and green) were both great as well. Service - 100 Value - 100 Flavor - 100 I'm in town for a week on business and I will definitely be back."

"I had the tripa taco combo. It was pretty and good crunchy just how I like them. I wish they would have added more cooked Onions. I myself didn't like the rice. No where to sit only take out. Prices are fair."

"The only reason I'm not giving them a 5 star rating all around, is because there beef on the tacos were a little dry and needed more seasonings. Other than than that we love the burritos, rice, and beans. And it's a good place to eat."
