On 1/16/2025 Jack Whalen had this to say:
Amazing little place. Small dining area, big taste, fair prices. The barbacoa is so juicy it's criminal.

On 1/10/2025 Antwon McMullen had this to say:
We loved the food at this place! We each ordered different tortas and the flavors were divine. They melted in our mouths, if a sandwich can do that. 😋 Wish this place were closer to home! Xo

On 12/30/2024 Queen Bri had this to say:
The food is made to order, the chicken tacos are shredded chicken and filled tacos! Great! The horchata is not too sweet! The green salsa is amazing 👏

On 12/29/2024 Albert Baltierrez had this to say:
If it's your first time eating here, you have to order your food by the stand next to the bathroom even if you are dining in just a heads up. The food is delicious. If you're gonna order tacos, skip the taco dinner and order a pound of carnitas or barbacoa & one order of handmade tortillas. $13 for 5 stacked-tacos is a crazy deal.
