“ Best wet burritos here with yummy sauces and fresh orange juice. Very yummy mexican food. ”
“ Always good never disappointed. Tripas and buche tacos are my go to. Clean and good customer service. ”
“ Solid tacos. I usually frequent their outdoor location on Hesperian. When we went to that one on a particularly windy and cold evening, we quickly changed plans and headed here to be inside and warm. The restaurant is pretty spacious with lots of seating inside. I've passed by many times, but this is the first time I was dining in. I don't think I've ever seen it be too crowded though. They've got a bigger menu at this location than they do at their Hesperian one. They offer a lot more plates and desserts. Similar to the other location though, you order at the register and find your seat. They bring the food to you and we didn't have to wait that long for our taco orders. Ambiance wise, it's nothing fancy. The salsa bar wasn't available when we went. Everything looked pretty clean though. The tacos were pretty good and filling. I went for the grilled chicken as I normally do and it was very flavorful. Beware that the food is pretty greasy though (even the quesadilla my friend got) so I wouldn't recommend going here if you're trying to be healthy. But delicious food for sure! ”
“ Got a birria quesadilla with Consommé to go. The meat was very tender and flavorful. The green salad that came with was very good. You also get a good amount of meat. Took them a little long to make though. ”
