Good food and service! We had The enchilada plate, Huevos Chorizo and the Cadillac Margaritas! The enchiladas were steak & chicken...yum! I love breakfast for dinner so the Chorizo and eggs hit the spot for my flavor palate. We also had the guacamole and chips which was really good as well!

We come here all the time since it's right down the street. The menu has most food items that anyone could ask for from a Mexican restaurant; burritos, tacos, quesadillas, tortas, nachos, giant sizzling molcajetes with meat and veggies in them, fajitas, enchiladas, flautas, mole, chile rellena, etc. As well as breakfast items, like breakfast burritos, chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. All the food quality is good and a little elevated from other taquerias you might find, but that means it's also a little pricier for the portion size. I like the carne asada from here which is juicy and tender, and the shrimp tacos. I also love Mexican breakfast, so it's not uncommon that I grab a breakfast burrito to go. I haven't eaten in the restaurant in years but they have a smaller interior with nice murals on the walls and a nice outdoor parklet to enjoy the food.

What an extensive menu?!? And breakfast burritos offered all day?! Say less! The food came out so quick and the burritos were massive. We got our food to go and we were so hungry by the time we made it home that there were no pictures documenting said burritos bc they were that good and we were that hungry. The service was great too bc as we were heading out, they realized they hadn't smothered my partner's burrito in mole as he had ordered and proactively initiated to remedy it (we would've zipped home and been none the wiser until we opened our bag). I appreciated the integrity bc they didn't have to do that, and it feels like many places don't go out of their way to do this. We'll be back!!!

My mom and I stopped here to get lunch. This place is so cute the details in the restaurant make it fun to eat in here. As soon as you come in you are greeted and sat at your table. The tables are benches and they do move so you can definitely adjust them, which for me was helpful as plus size. Once sat we scanned the menu and got waters. We ordered their Molcajete which easily feeds two people and then an horchata which i highly recommend. I personally ordered their Michelada and it did not disappoint. The Molcajete has a lot of things mixed in which i am not sure if I liked or not it had zucchini, bell peppers, cactus, beans, onion and arugula ( this threw me off) there was steak, chorizo and chicken. Overall would recommend, maybe I would order something else they do have a variety of items.

My work team and I were looking for a place that had margaritas in pitchers so that's what brought us here. I cannot emphasize enough how large their food and drink menus are- almost overwhelming but they literally have everything you can ask for. I decided to order the cochinita pibil plate and the pork was tender and full of achiote flavor. I didn't care for the rice as it was bland but it wasn't a huge deal. The tortillas were so thick and hand made, so this made up for rice. The chips are extra thick and large which paired great with their spicy salsas. They give very little chips so we had to ask them 4 times to bring more. We couldn't decide what type of margarita pitcher flavor so our server recommended their tropical one and it was SO delicious! It felt like I was on a beach somewhere in Mexico. The service was super friendly and before we knew it, inside was packed. The place is small but they have an outdoor patio and a full bar. It is lively decorated and I would love to return!

I've been walking by this place about a dozen times a day since I've been dog walking the last few days. It's one of the only places that serves food past 9pm in the area. There's a lot of seating inside and out, it was about 10:30pm and plenty of seating inside, but I wad feeling quite warm after a long walk so I opted to sit outside. The employees were all super nice, throughout the entirety of my meal. The menu is huge. I didn't ask for a paper menu, there was a digital one kind of high, and my vision isn't the best. So I probably should have asked for a paper one so I could see it better. I ordered a 3 taco thing. It came with chips and salsa and it was only $11. Great deal.
