    Five stars reflects my rating for this type of restaurant. It's not fine dining and it's not trendy; it's just a great, neighborhood restaurant with good Mexican food, that I happened into while on a business trip in the area.

    The tacos were exactly what I'd expect to get at a taqueria in Mexico, and that's exactly what I was looking for, given that I live in an area where only pretentious, faux-Mexican restaurants are generally available.

    I had tacos de bistec and al pastor, and took a few tamales rojos de puerco to eat later, and was not disappointed.

    If I'm in the area again looking for a quick, authentic bite to eat, I'll definitely stop in.

    It saddens me that I want be venturing out to this little Gem .. I go maybe 3 times out the week ..I ordered 2 flautas 3 steak tacos crispy get to my car yes I eats my tacos in the car bc I want to eat them fresh and I don't like my crispy shell to get soggy what so ever.. I notice after handing my fren there 2 flautas I only have two steak tacos n there tacos aren't cheap at all and very little meat but the taste and the quality I don't mind.. I immediately went back in to let the cashier kno my issues OMG.. I had to go back and forth with these 2 young ladies for 15 min telling me the manager made my food and he says it was 3 tacos ..why would I go back and forth humiliating myself in front of customers for a $3 taco..This was the worst customer service ever after 15 min I'm asking to speak to the manger about 3-4 times still going back and forth after about 20 min the manager tell the cashier to tell me he's going to "GIVE ME A TACO" but he want do it next time.. Wow really no actually your giving me what I already paid for sir .. Get the taco n it's not what I ordered .. I Dint like there tacos unless there crispy he gave me a soggy rolled flour shell taco that I just gave away after going back and forth why bother again to let them know you still fucked up my order ... so bc of this unfortunately I want be coming back that's for trying to rip me off.. Small places like this I guess could give 2 shits about customer service I felt humiliated after all of this but damit I want what I paid for and for you to tell me I'm lying just really pissed me off and Tacos are my ultimate Fav .. So now I'm on a new hunt for great crispy shell steak tacos .. Any suggestions fellow yelpers they have the worst customer service when " They F$&@ up

    The food was really good. I enjoyed the small space. The server Tanya was very helpful. It got a little crowded though and she was the only server during lunch time on a Saturday. I had the complimentary chips and Salsa which I loved. I asked for more and she said I would be charged $2.25 for any additional chips after my 2nd helping.

    My favorite Mexican restaurant beans and rice are top notch. Now they even have alcoholic beverages.

    Excellent tacos. Great food. They always give great service. It's very authentic. Super fast. When they say 10 minutes they mean it!
