I had the southwest burrito and it was spectacular. Food was great! authentic Mexican. We did take out as they do not have seating for five comfortably. If you are doing take out, make sure to call ahead as there are no spots inside to sit and wait for order without being on top of dining guests. But WONDERFUL for take out.

This place was the best Mexican food we’ve had in the states! The service was awesome and the food was incredible. The guacamole was amazing and the chips were the perfect thickness. Highly recommend the Al Pastor tacos. Our waitress was very nice and brought out some churros for us when she found out we were celebrating. 10/10 and we’d definitely go back!

Excellent food, street tacos are small but packed with meat. Order the fresh guacamole and you won’t be disappointed.

Best chips & salsa around. Although do yourself a favor and get the guacamole & queso cheese dip to go with. The homemade guacamole is absolutely addictive…I’d stop in JUST for that alone. The fried chips are very crispy and delicious.

Really delicious food! It’s authentic and fresh. I’ve ordered to go both times and the food has been hot. Good portion sizes for the price. The queso has a good flavor and the guac is fresh with a little kick. The flavors and quality are what will keep me coming back. I have no complaints!

Just ordered a burrito via Door Dash, and it’s honestly one of the best burritos in the DSM area, hands down.

This is my first (probably last) review of a restaurant, not usually one to put my opinion out there. Food was pretty decent, nothing to write home about but not bad by any means.

Great place to come and get some authentic Mexican street food. If I’m not mistaken, this place opened up after they first were operating as a taco truck. Their tacos and burritos had so much success that they had to open a restaurant. My family came here for the first time and the tacos were amazing. The burrito was great! Taste like home, Michoacán! I glanced over, and they had some portraits of the people of Mexico. In particular a map of a town in the state of Michoacán which I found very interesting!
