Plastic (pictured) in one of my birria tacos. Smaller piece of plastic (not pictured, but size of the plastic tags when you cut it off from new clothes) in my friend’s al pastor taco. No plastic in any of the carne asada tacos, yay. We ate all our tacos despite the plastic. Quality was OK, but definitely expected more [quantity or quality] for the price. Agree with another reviewer’s opinion that this is what I expect from a $2.50 street taco. Even if atmosphere was 5 stars, I would still rate this as a 3-star place because of service and food. It wasn’t busy, but the person taking our orders seemed to be very inattentive. And the qty of the tacos were a bit mixed up, but that wasn’t a big deal either. When an employee checked to see if everything was OK, we told him about the pieces o

Really good for price, flavor, and volume. Very delicious, they give you a good amount of salsa too. Birria tacos were delicious and the carne asada fries are something I'll definitely be ordering again. Fs recommend💯

When we arrived the two cashiers were talking and didn't greet us. We said hi to them as we approached the register. They have one screen with the menu on display. Since the cashiers were busy talking, we were trying to read the menu on the screen. My partner asked if they had menus, so they finally gave us a menu. She didn't specify they were different menus so he was looking at a breakfast menu and I was looking at a dinner menu. I would definitely suggest improving their customer service because their service is the only reason I removed two stars. Plus, the restaurant was empty. There was not one single person there. When we were ordering our food, she finally told my partner that he had the "wrong menu." We ordered 3 Quesabirria tacos, ramen noodles, burrito, and a large pineapp

Went with a group of friends for Easter Brunch. This restaurant had a “soft opening” for their Brunch Menu. Walking in this place, it looks like an Asian restaurant, but they definitely serve Mexican dishes. You do have to order up front and they bring your food to you. There was a problem with a couple orders, but they did fix it right away. One of my friends asked for A-1 sauce, but it seemed like they had one bottle for the entire restaurant. They do have high-chairs for the kids and the restrooms were clean. As for the food, I had the breakfast chilaquiles w/ green sauce. Spectacular! I wished they would put more of the sauce on the dish, didn’t have enough sauce to finish it. I definitely would come back to try other dishes. Price: $87 (for 4 people)
