Me gusto; I liked it! First time here and will def be returning next time w the family. Food was surprisingly good and fresh tasting, prices were right, plenty of sides to serve yourself, and friendly customer service! Place was spacious and clean, too 👍

For a long time the chorizo asada fries were so good. But recently idk what they did but they changed the recipe of the chorizo or something because now the chorizo is sweet and not spicy. It completely ruined the whole meal. I don’t know what changed but it is not good at all now.

I'll go to the one on Atlantic & Florence, great taste no greasy tortillas and 4 tacos combo. ******************************************************************* Great Mexican food. Love the breakfast burrito with Asada. They have good chipotle onions that go well with the tacos. Only con
