Quite disappointed for the hype. The queso fundito was broken, gritty, and flavorless. The chips were cold and needed salt. The birria quesadilla was tasty but not impressive, the fajitas were fine. Certainly not worth the cost. We paid about sixty bucks. Tables were all pretty gross, needed to wipe somewhere yourself if you wanted to sit. Easily the worst part though was the TV blasting at full volume to complete with the music being played in the kitchen. Really headache inducing. Also, wearing gloves doesn’t count if you go from handling food, to playing with your phone, back to handling food, all without changing your gloves. Since the kitchen is in full view of the dining area, I’d think the cooks would take a bit more care. I’d love to be able to update this review more positively in the future, but I really don’t see myself ever coming back, even though I pass the location frequently.

The Food here is AMAZING!!! Great service, and delicious options. My personal favorite is the Chicken Soup! Overall, I would recommend this place as a Mexican food go to spot!

Place is awesome!!! I’m vegan, so not many options but if you go there you can ask for a veggie burrito with no sour cream/cheese. It’s not on the menu but they’re very accommodating with what you want in your food.

Beef tongue burrito….fresh ingredients always and they are generous with the meat even when ordering shrimp burrtios. I love their tortas as well.

The tacos and churros here are amazing. Definitely our new go to take out spot. Generous portions great food and always comes fresh the tacos hold up well. We have tried almost everything and the biggest complaint I have is sometimes things could be a bit salty. But the flavor is amazing always

First, let me say the customer service was on point. However, the food. The taste was bland and lacked seasonings. The steak was cooked but had zero seasonings. I was not given utensils to eat my food because I chose take out. I had some white stuff on my pico de gallo, I think it might be cheese . My avocado was brown, even though I lived around the corner. Definitely, was disappointed after the positive reviews.

We were in the area and decided to try a couple of things like tacos and torta and also pupusas we didn’t like them at all pupusas were not cooked, taco meat was hard overall not a great experience and we paid $79 dollars for this? La carne se nota que no es buena calidad muy mala experiencia high prices for horrible tasting food

Amazing food! Delicious! Been to most restaurants around this area since I moved to Shelton in 2019. Since this place opened I been dying to try it. I finally came with my partner and we both loved it! I say better than most restaurants here. The food is delishes! And well presented, many sodas to pick from. (Jarritos!) I got the Burrito and it was very good! Haven’t had a great Burrito in a minute. My partner got the same together with Nachos with chicken platter that feeds three people. On top of that, they gave on the house tortilla chips with salsas..wow! We came out like two meat balls from there. Prices are great for the area. Parking will be a bit hard if it was busy, like a weekend , but we came during a Sunday afternoon on a rainy day. This place is my new spot! Definitely recommend this spot!

Food was great. First time there and will definitely go back. Would have rated higher but actual prices were a bit higher than shown on online menu I used. Just beware when ordering to use the right menu.

Excellent take out at reasonable prices. Have eaten here probably 100 times and it’s consistently good. Anyone complaining has way too high expectations. It’s a hole in the wall Mexican place, not a gourmet sit down restaurant. Best spot on Howe ave for a quick meal
