June 26 · Andy SnowMy family and I ate breakfast here and it was amazing! The birria tacos are to die for!! We all had some sort of egg, potato, cheese and bacon. The tortillas are home made which made everything even more delicious!
May 26 · Kate ScottThe food was really good, tortillas was super fresh and soft. All the ingredients was freshly made besides the bacon. The bacon was hard but other than that everything else tasted good and have reasonable prices. Came by and Got me two breakfast tacos and will definitely come back. We’ll definitely just make sure that my bacon is fresh next time but definitely enjoyed myself. Will definitely come back again. Otherwise I’ll give it a five out of five.Also they need red salsa unfortunately they only have green and habanero a.k.a. orange
February 10 · Mark HoustonI wouldn't say this place serves "mexican" food because it was very original. Service was horrible, waited 15 mins for drinks and when the food came out only a couple of people got their food first while others waited. Price and value of food was not worth it. Wouldn't recommend
March 12 · Rara BrewGreat fajita tacos. The tortillas are amazing. They’re made in house . The staff is also super friendly and clean environment.
