Excellent Fresh Mexican Fast Food
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had some of the best Mexican fast food I've ever tasted. Everything was cooked fresh, and the meat was prepared only after I ordered. I'll definitely add this place to my go-to list when I'm in town.

Best Breakfast Burrito Ever!
I had one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had in my life! The machaca with eggs, beans, and cheese was incredible. The tortilla was perfectly cooked with those delicious brown spots. I can’t wait to come back!

Best Chicken Caldo Ever!
I was sick with the flu, and my friend sent me their chicken caldo. Omg, it was the best caldo ever with tons of flavor. It wasn't super greasy either.

Burnt and Flavorless Tacos
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing, particularly with the food. I ordered the Carne Asada tacos, and they were burnt to the point of being crunchy. To make matters worse, they had absolutely no flavor and very little to no toppings. Based on this experience, I would not recommend them.

Disappointing Deluxe Burrito Experience
I came, I saw, and I tried the Deluxe Burrito. Unfortunately, I was not impressed for what it costs. The burrito was made with two large flour tortillas but contained barely anything inside, with no cheese or sour cream. WOW. 🙁 ☹️

Mixed Experience: Good Burritos, Terrible Plates
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The carne asada and breakfast burritos were good, but the breakfast plates were terrible and lacked flavor. Additionally, the service wasn't great. My order was prepared last, seemingly because I paid with EBT, as customers who paid after me received their food first. This was a frustrating aspect of my visit.

Great Food, Great Price, Call Ahead!
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The food is consistently good, and you truly can't beat the price. I recommend calling ahead for your order. As Theo Von said, food in the hood just hits different.

Delicious Breakfast and Magnetic Service!
The smell wafting out the door brought me in to get a breakfast platter that was absolutely delicious. The waiter was so kind and polite, her personality was magnetic! The atmosphere was so welcoming, I can’t wait to return for dinner soon! 😁

Amazing Tacos, Freshly Made!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The tacos were amazing, which is something hard to find nowadays. You can tell the food is made fresh; you can even smell it from outside. The overall food quality was excellent, and I'd rate it a 5 out of 5. The atmosphere was also very pleasant, earning a 4 out of 5. Service was top-notch, rated 5 out of 5.

Hit or Miss Mexican Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite mixed. The carne asada was incredibly tough, described as harder than beef jerky. I felt the special plate should have been free given its poor quality. The beans can be good, but it depends on catching the right cook in the morning. Service was notably slow, and I felt it was worse if you are Black. I will never go there again. The best thing I had was the cheeseburger and fries. You are pressing your luck with any Mexican items. Also, be aware that in the summer, the Coca-Cola might have a Santa's Claus face on it!
