Patio was great, the waitress was nice but $10 for this burrito was too much $ for all that lettuce and the meat was kind of weird… Had bumpy gristly bits and kind of an aftertaste. I loved the patio. I just wish the food was better. I tried them when they first opened in 2019. I thought the meat was weird then but I gave them another try and still weird.

I couldn’t give it 5 stars because I didn’t order anything, I went in with my daughter. She loved the tacos she ordered. The place was clean, small but not cramped, and comfortable, it had a warm intimate feeling. They had a nice outside patio. The restroom was clean as well.

I ordered a steak torta and was completely satisfied. Great steak and good flavor! Hot sauce can get more spicy though only critique.

Food was salty and not authentic. I didnt even finish the food. Service was good. The food I ordered was huevos rancheros . What I got was dry eggs with onions and bell peppers. I’ve never seen anyone make huevos rancheros this way. Very salty yet lacking flavor. The sope was fine. Nothing spectacular but edible. Spent about $20 just for me. I wouldn’t recommend or return. Only reason it was 2 stars for me was 100% based on service.

Tacos are good but the cashier with the dark laminated eyebrows. she needs better training. How are you taking an order but also having a full conversation with the workers she was so distracted. That she didn’t give me the correct change I wasn’t going to make a big deal about couple dollars short. Since she had asked for a tip she probably decided to tip herself thinking i wouldn’t count it. How do you ask for tips on take out orders your just taking my order your not serving me since I’m not dining in. She needs to Pay more attention to her work station and customers and on what she’s doing because it seems like she doesn’t know what’s going

My wife and I were traveling up to visit a friend from out of state. We were craving mexican food but we were unfamiliar with the area. Glad that we discovered this place! Food was delicious and well priced! We ordered the steak burrito and pastor dinner.
