OMGAAAAAWD THE BEST BEEF TACO IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!!!! NO LIE!!!! 1st time here.....and it won't be the last. Even if I live an hour away. We came at around 2pm and it was packed. So that's a good sign. I'm super picky about my tacos and don't like fatty, greasy or grisle in my meat. So I'm nervous about trying new taco places. The reviews seemed good online so we took a chance. No regrets!!! I got 2 beef tacos with rice and salad instead of the beans. They brought chips and salsa....and it was soooooo good. Has some heat on the back end of it. The food took a while but that's ok. When it arrived, I took one bite of the rice and I knew I'd be in for a ride. The tacos were super flavourful and not greasy or full of fat or other beef parts that make me gag. HOLY HELL!!!! these were seriously the best tacos I've had EVER!!!! I can't wait to come back and I'm still here waiting to get the bill lol. You have to try this place.

I've been coming here for years. I love the food here. The grilled chicken burritos are bomb. The carnitas tacos are also really good.

Our first time here and it was nice. We were seated immediately ( we arrived around 4:30pm) and drink orders were taken right away. My fiance tried the shrimp enchiladas and she loved them, She said they were very delicious. I ordered the Burrito Supreme and it came covered in sauce and cheese. It was excellent I ordered with Asada & Pastor mix for the meat.
