My kids and I like to eat here from time to time. Very good and authentic. Not fancy, just good. Great salsas, friendly people.

Whenever I feel lazy about cooking I love coming to this place to grab a bite. They are actually authentic Mexican food with Agua frescas. The service is expected for any other restaurant, slow when busy and fast when business is slow. Make sure to serve ur own salsa and topping at the salsa bar before u sit down to eat! The ambiance is the same as any other food court inside a grocery store. :D

We're from Texas and we're looking for Mexican food. After seeing the yelp reviews we decided to try it. The place itself is not appealing because it is mainly a carniceria(?), a Mexican meat market, but the food we ordered was wonderful. We ordered the grande beef quesadilla and it was really too much for us to eat but it was so delicious that we finished the entire thing. I still am envisioning the wonderful taste. If we were ever back in this area we would eat here again.

This place was honestly incredible! This is my first ever yelp review because I never take the time but this restaurant blew all other Mexican restaurants out the water! If you're reading this, you HAVE to try it! Chicken el pastor burrito!

Food isn't bad and service is good. The cleanliness isn't so good. Sometimes there's flies and trash is over flowing. It's good to take food home but not to eat there.

Super delicious meat selection. They barbacoa is savory and yummy. The burrito asado with steak could have def had more meat on it but the fixings.... Chef's kiss! No rice on it, beans, fresh tomatoes and avocado, cheese and sour cream. Sooo good. The location sits inside a Mexican grocery story with a lunch counter and some booths but the food speaks for itself!

This taqueria is located inside a Hispanic grocery store. My boyfriend happened to find this through Yelp after we were leaving a Yelp elite event. There is plenty of seating as well as a variety of options on their menu. Some items seem a bit pricey while others seem very fair priced. You order up front and your food is brought to your booth. We actually came here twice. Our first experience was a lot better than the second. The first time we came was on a Friday morning and the food was delicious! Our second time was on a Tuesday and the food was average. We were very surprised to see the tacos were made with handmade tortillas. This is a big bonus! Most taco places we have been to use store bought tortillas. My boyfriend loves tripa tacos and he said the first time they were very crispy and flavorful, but the second time they weren't as good. They were not as crispy and they had an organ taste to it. The asada tacos were flavored very well both times. The asada burrito was HUGE and it comes with a lot of toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, avacado, sour cream, cheese, rice, and beans. You could choose to leave things out if you want. It's very flavorful, but the sour cream was too much for me. The chilaquiles I would not order again. The tortilla was very crispy so it added a nice crunchy texture to the dish, however the salsa was too sour. I'm usually a sour lover but this made my stomach feel very irritated. The tlacoyos are like a sope but it is stuffed with beans. You pick the meat topping you would like. This dish was very good, but the salsa at the top was also too much. It was the same salsa used in the chilaquiles. They have a self serve toppings bar with different types of salsas. The bar also has cucumbers, radishes and limes. The avacado salsa is my favorite! It is very flavorful and also spicy.

Been here in the area for 5 months and its the best taco joint thus far. I got Al Pastor tacos. $2.50 a pop. Super tasty. Pork. Cilantro. White onion. Squeeze of lime. Done deal. I will be back. Stay away from tex mex places.

"A quien madruga Dios lo ayuda" (God helps those who rise early). Getting up early, in this case, means being blessed with a great Mexican breakfast. "Desayuno" is served 7-11am with great dishes as Huevos Rancheros, Huevos a la Mexicana, Huevos Nortenos, and Huevos con Frijloles. in other words, eggs however you like them! Almost all entrees are around $6.99 and come with rice or beans, tortillas or bread and a coffee. (Coffee definitely isn't their forte) Overall a fantastic, flavorful breakfast. After breakfast you've got some great lunch and dinner options. Authentic and classic tacos, burritos, and quesadillas as well as the less often seen Sopes and tortas. Spanish helps at the counter, but service is friendly although not always fast. Overall, a great spot for breakfast or tacos, so skip the Chick-fil-A and Taco Bell drive-thru lines and come in for something amazing.
