      It's a very casual restaurant that seems authentic, all employees but one speak English which made me enthusiastic that the food would reflect that too. Honestly the food isn't great but it isn't bad either, it's sort of bland and lacks much seasoning/flavor, my dad and I both ordered a strip steak "dish", mine was a torta and his was a taco dinner.
      The torta tasted EXACTLY like a burger... I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but I really enjoyed the bread they used.
      I'm not sure about the tacos, but my dad said they were okay, he just expected more from an authentic Mexican restaurant.
      I would come again and try something new though.

      Was super hyped up after reading the reviews and seeing the star ratings. If we could give half stars I would give it a 2.5, and all of the stars go to the service. Very attentive, wonderfully welcoming staff, just was disappointed in the food. Chips and salsa to start, had the queso fundido which was saltier than normal. Had an Al pastor sope and a carne asada gordita and was lacking in flavor, with regards to the beans and meat, very bland. Decor was whimsical and authentic, however the establishment, specifically the floors could have been cleaner. As a Latino maybe my expectations are a bit higher than most, however, with this stellar location, this place could be fantastic with some improvements to the menu and food for sure.

      I'm not telling you this story because I want the restaurant to be judged, but I am telling you that if you need any motivation to learn Spanish, here it is. I tried to call in a to-go order today and when I started speaking in English the lady immediately hung up the phone. So I called back and ordered in Spanish and then they made my order right away, they probably don't even realize it was me. The food was awesome, the burritos are huge and only $9. So yeah go learn Spanish and then you'll be able to eat here!

      Staff smiled the moment we walked in and quickly asked if we wanted to order drinks. Tacos were good, the salsas added great flavor to the tacos and each taco comes w plenty of meat. The horchata was rich and Really good place for a quick bite.

      Always friendly staff, prices are most reasonable. I love their menudo. Somewhat inconvenient location most of the time because parking is super limited depending on time of day.

      My review is mainly based on the dish that I ordered and price. This place has actually been recommended for some time and so I was finally able to try it today. I went in knowing that I wanted to try tacos. I ordered the taco dinner which actually only listed having 2 tacos. Most places offer 3 taco dinners. I was not sure what to expect. Their selection of meats was fairly diverse. I narrowed it down to Al Pastor and Tripa (Tripe fried hard). I had to check behind the counter to see if they had their Al Pastor on the vertical rotisserie. I was able to confirm it and felt safe with my order.

      I received my tacos with the usual rice and beans. The tacos were huge! Double tortilla and generous filling. 2 tacos were definitely enough. Both tacos were good and met my expectations. The meal only cost $6.50! You can't beat that for lunch! Definitely pleased.

      If you happen to work in the area, I would definitely recommend this for lunch. I will have to try other plates on their menu! Check it out and judge for yourself.
