Amazing Tamales, Poor Location
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The tamales were absolutely wonderful and definitely on point! However, the location leaves much to be desired. Despite the less-than-ideal setting, the food quality, particularly the tamales, was a standout 5 out of 5. The atmosphere, on the other hand, was rated a 2, with moderate noise levels.

A Quirky Gem Worth the Trip
What a cuuutest little fun shop! While the neighborhood might be a bit concerning, taking precautions and being safe is advised. However, it's definitely worth supporting this little gem. The food, service, and options were all great, and the fun environment is perfect for kids, anime fans, and anyone who enjoys quirky, fun dishes.

Delicious Taco Dorados and Great Experience!
My first visit to this restaurant was a totally delicious experience! I enjoyed the Taco Dorados and a Jumex beverage. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others.

Great Food, Friendly Staff, High Prices
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food and drinks were excellent, and the staff was very friendly. I also appreciated that the place was very clean. However, the price for a Mangonada was over $12. 00, which felt excessive, especially since I recall them being around $7. 00 a year ago. This price increase is a shame because we used to love this place.

Delicious Mangonadas and Friendly Service!
I've seen this place a couple times while driving by. Today we decided to stop by and it was great, we all got mangonadas; very delicious. The place was clean and the service was friendly, we'll definitely come back more often.

Clean Spot with Good Food, But a Pricey Drink
My husband and I decided to try this restaurant after seeing it while driving. The place looked very clean, and the food was very good! I enjoyed the Tostitos with esquite, and my husband had a torta and strawberry smoothie. We're eager to return and explore more of their snacks. Update: We did go back. I tried the blueraspberry raspado, but unfortunately, it was mostly ice with very little flavor. After a few sips, it was just ice, and a pricy ice at that 🥲.

Disgusting Hair Found in Food
I visited last Thursday and ordered an esquite and two tacos. My experience was extremely unpleasant due to the food quality. The esquite contained a long, curly hair. While I initially thought accidents happen, I later discovered another hair in my tacos. This was utterly disgusting, and I couldn't eat them.

Authentic Mexican Flavors and Relaxed Atmosphere
The flavor of the food here is almost unparalleled. Come and share your time and food with your partner, alone, or with family. The atmosphere is relaxed and there's support for the Hispanic community. The food is rated a 5, and the service and atmosphere are also rated a 5. The price per person is between $10–20, and there is free parking available. The meal type is dinner.

Delicious Mexican Food Near Northgate!
I've always been looking for something like this near Northgate! We ordered the Torbellino, which was my favorite. The esquite has a delicious flavor. The asada fries, fresas con crema, and champurrado were also great. I have to come back to try the rest!

Amazing service and good snacks!
My experience at this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. I went to get gas and my mom noticed this place, so we decided to check it out. The service was amazing, and the snacks were good! It's definitely needed a place like this around the area.
