I ate here for the first time today and I’m honestly speechless. I’ve eaten alot of tacos at alot of different places, and these just took first place. I got the birria and the al pastor, both mind-blowingly delicious. I went inside to place a to-go order of 8 tacos (4 of each). The nice girl who took my order told me it would be about 12 minutes, but it felt like much less than that. The side of sauce the birria comes with is so savory and perfectly compliments the taco and I wish I had a gallon of it. The al pastor is so tender and flavorful, I wish it was bottomless. Both varieties came with the perfect amount of cilantro and onion. Another thing I was very happy to see is the lime wedges! All too often I get dried up sad little lime wedges with my tacos, but these were some phat limes and were so juicy, perfect for squeezing over tacos!

Outstanding Mexican food, they give you great fresh chips and salsa while you wait and them they bring out your food and it is delicious. Nothing fancy, you pay at the counter when you are done, but the least fancy Mexican places are often the most delicious. Kitschy Mexican decor hanging on the walls, great food, wonderful hole-in-the-wall joint in Dover. Would highly recommend to anyone who lives in the area or is passing through. I had the quesadilla with steak and it was absolutely delicious. So were the refried beans. Amazing Mexican, I love it!

Technically should be 4.5 Stars but I prefer to round up with this place. The tamale is larger than the burrito, and the tacos were pretty tasty. Pricing was decent and definitely will come back again.

We are regulars here. The food is authentic and the service is always great. Nice little spot for lunch/dinner if you enjoy real mexican food. Try the mole if you like a sweet and savory dish.

My favorite hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Whether you’re taking your meal to go or eating in one of the colorful booths, this place always delivers. Like to get fajitas or birria tacos, they are insanely good I have also had the steak burrito which was delicious. I appreciate that they don’t over complicate simple food and just deliver amazing quality every time.

Very clean establishment and ample parking. Friendly staff. Unfortunately, I went there to try their flan. Based upon pictures of the menu people have submitted, I saw there might be up to four different kinds. When I arrived they said they only had chocoflan. Looking at their website I could see that the chocoflan looked really good. I ordered it and the horchata. As you can see from the pictures, the menu picture and the website picture did not look anything like the piece of flan I got. The cake and flan mixture was meh. I would never order that again. The horchata on the other hand was very good. They also gave me chips and salsa which were pretty good too. I will come back at another time and try their food items.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant! So authentic! Best Mexican food I’ve had since living in DE the birria is fantastic but my absolute favorite are the chorizo tacos! So flipping good. The actual building aesthetically leaves a bit to be desired, but the food is fantastic and you won’t be disappointed !
