Customer Reviews
The food taste was good and pretty decent compared to those we tried. I wish they offer lime rice but they don’t- their cali burrito was really good and their quesabirria was decent compared to those I had tried in VA. The price and amount of food, it could be improved to make every penny counts. Service was okay, she was nice. The place is small and usually does takeout or to go. Also their restroom was closed when we visited so it’s hard to dig in with finger foods if you can’t wash your hands. Hoping it is not always the case.
Best authentic Mexican food in this entire area. Tortas, Tamales, everything. Hands down the best. I say this as a native Texan who’s been looking for years for an authentic torta in this area. I’ve finally found it. This family owned place knows their food! Go!
A lot of the food here is great and I’ve been there 4-5 times already. There’s plenty of parking for this low-key, out-of-the-way place so you’ll have no problems with a visit. The cashier is very friendly and helpful. It not a restaurant but more a cafe and very relaxing. My wife loves the sopa de res and has had it a few times. My son had the California burrito tonight and I’ve had it before as well; it doesn’t disappoint. I tried the tacos and think this is where they miss the mark. But the food is good. I also like their tortas.
Some of the most delicious tacos I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. Tacos are loaded up with very fresh toppings. I got the carnitas and asada + birria tacos and they did not disappoint. The asada taco was very well seasoned. More impressive was the carnitas taco which was very tender; you can taste the juices embracing every surface of the pork as it latches on the same way on your taste buds. Though a bit pricier, the birria tacos were worth it because they were very hot and crispy on the outside, and flavorful on the inside, especially when you dip the sauce. Every bite was filled with melted cheesy tender meat engulfed in a rich, flavorful broth. Very fairly priced and generous portions. I’ll for sure be taco'ing here again.
I ordered 6 tacos 3 fish 3 shrimp, honestly,son buenos. The shrimp was my favorite but it's hard to compare. Definitely should order them!! A little heavy on the oil but it's okay, THEY ALSO HAVE ARROZ CON LECHE!
