★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1This is a small family-owned restaurant, and the food was amazing. You get an authentic taste of a homemade Mexican meal.
August 03 · Juan RojasGreat family owned restaurant! Authentic Mexican food. My family and I enjoyed our food! Definitely worth checking out!
May 12 · Jennifer FloresFood is great and the server is very attentive. I eat here often and I am never disappointed.
March 29 · Jeurry RemigioI ordered 1 taco birria and 1 quesadilla birria. What I received was 2 orders of tacos with meat . I called back to inform them that the order is wrong. On Grubhub, it says that the Quesadilla Birria comes with Cheese, onions, rice and salad, none of the orders had cheese or onions and only one order had the tortillas cooked in the Birria sauce but was completely burned, none of them were made how it states in the menu. What made it even more frustrating is that I explained this to the lady and she kept insisting that quesadillas doesn't come with anything that was stated in THEIR menu and none of the tacos comes with cheese unless asked for, for an additional cost. Additionally, the tortillas were burnt and the meat had a strange after taste. It is so disappointing since I spent $30 dollars and they refused to acknowledge my complaint.
April 26 · Sanil CuelloNot sure how authentic I consider this restaurant but the food was delicious! The portions were large as well. The waitress was attentive and really nice.
