I was the only person in the restaurant and they messed up my order. Thank God I was still at work when I took a bite if the sandwich I asked for not spicy and no onions, but I had both on my sandwich. VERY DISAPPOINTING

OK I hear about a month ago and I’ve been dreaming about these. Carnitas finally made it out to this area the best I’ve ever tasted it and I’ve had a lot..

Out of town for work and stopped here for dinner. Literally the best asada I’ve ever had. Michigan tacos can’t compare. I’m coming back at least once (probably more) before returning home

So the only day they close is TUESDAY the other days they’re open. Price is a bit high but the quantity of the food is good. If you don’t want to wait for fresh cooked food that’s on you go get food poisoning somewhere else. I don’t get how people can’t be so impatient, like get in there and I bet they won’t last a day.
