“ Don't get fooled by the appearance of this location, the food is very good and portions are great! We had, tortas, tacos and gorditas all were great! Tortillas seemed to be handmade/homemade. ”
“ It was my first time coming here. The wait time was minimal at the time i came in around 3 pm. I ordered the quesadilla plate and a barbacoa taco. The portion was very nice and sizable. The price wasn't too bad either. At least compared to other restaurants that serve similar items. The flavor was so amazing. The barbacoa was tender and flavorful. The fajita in my quesadilla had a nice crust and color, but still tender and juicy. The green and red salsas made in house have a splendid taste to them. I normally go for green salsa often times, but I couldn't stop myself from eating the red one as well. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for some good Mexican food in the area. Service was good and the food even better. The appearance of the place is a little older and to some maybe outdated, but it has a very warm welcoming feeling to it that makes you feel at home. ”
“ Food is delicious. Came here on a weekend. You can tell they put care into the food they make. I recommend the “migas” for breakfast… thank me later. They make their green and red sauce from scratch it appears adding to the “they care about their food” take from earlier. place is always packed and i can see why. You wouldn’t think much of this lil spot at first glance. Odds are you’ve driven past it many times without noticing it. When you walk in this place is full of life. Truly a hidden gem ”
