Chips for guacamole were greasy and stale. Guacamole was very runny. Not home made. Steak taco meat very dry. Not tasty. Shrimp tacos were not cooked.. I’m hoping I don’t get sick. Owner said they were trying new vendors and customers have not been happy with food. Store is very sloppy and run down.

Glad we found this restaurant under new ownership. We had the corn tacos and torta. The food is great! Elizabeth and her husband were friendly and gave great service. Will definitely come back.

Wow, surprised at some of the reviews. Firstly it’s a take out restaurant, with 2 or 3 tables (and hardly room for them) I really don’t think you should plan to eat there.

Went for a lunch date w a friend and my daughter yesterday. The food was decent. Went to order dessert and tried to order fried ice cream, as it’s on the menu. Was told they don’t have it and asked if I wanted something else. Decided to go with tiramisu expecting a piece of cake. Ended up getting a small plastic cup of frozen tiramisu. When the employee walked over and asked how things were I was a bit irritated that I got frozen tiramisu. He asked if I wanted him to microwave it. Said no thanks and left. Very dissatisfied for the amount of money I spend.

Wonderful food… If they’re open. It seems like staffing issues are causing random closures on certain days, but they forget to turn off their online Door Dash store. I have ordered online twice only to show up at the store and have no one be there with no one picking up the phone. I know staffing is an issue in the wake of the pandemic, but to not turn off your stores when you are closed causes all sorts of issues.

Placed a $300 order on Thursday for pick up noon on Saturday. Wasn’t ready until after 1pm. Pretty annoyed. No call or nothing that it’ll be ready late.
