Some of the best Tacos I have had. Their guacamole is very unique and you must try that. They also have special birria tacos made with cheesy tortilla that is totally awesome and comes with a dipping soup of beef broth that is very tasty

Really interesting interior with a cool retro vibe. We got the tripa torta at it was really good. Service was fast as well, and the lady at the counter was pleasant. Recommended if you are in the area!

Every time we go between Indiana and Nebraska we would stop here and always had a great lunch until this last time. As always we got a order of pupusas but this time it came with a hidden nasty surprise. A piece is raw meat was stuck to the bottom of one of the pupusas which makes me believe the food ready for consumption must be prepared in the same expect spot where the raw meat is being cut. Do yourself a favor and avoid this stop or risk getting food poisoning

Mariana’s is my absolutely favorite Mexican restaurant. I have been going here since she was in the Drake neighborhood. I slowly worked my way through her menu, but some of my favorites are: Carna Asada, Steak Ranchero, Torta, Horchata, and of course her tacos. The decor reminds you of Mariana’s home town San Sebastian and a lot of the furnature is actually from there. I have also taken various visitors from South America and they have always enjoyed the food there.

Came here for Tacos and saw they had a special on Wednesday so I asked what it was and was told no as the woman looked away, raised her hear and cleared her throat, I asked “no?” And with out even looking back she she said no and shook her head. I took my money and went somewhere else if that’s how they treat paying customers
