    Awesome place for a quick bite. Take out. The food is good and they give you good portions. The seasoning is a bit blend. Nevertheless, the different souces make it a better. I had chicken tacos (3 per order)they were good, I had enough with one. My family ordered burritos, enchiladas and flautas. We also ordered two drinks and a side of guacamole. Everything for $84. We had left overs complementary tortillas chips.

    My ultimate favorite family owned Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood! I always get the Enchiladas Verdes de Pollo, it’s my ultimate favorite comfort food of all time. I highly recommend their delicious and filling tortas and their authentic quesadillas. I love their carne asada and carnitas, but truly you can’t go wrong with any thing on their menu. They also have every best soda you can ever think of. And the staff will make you feel at home the moment you walk in. Everything is made in house and so fresh, including their house tortilla chips, salsas and delicious chipotle cream. So much love in the food and so freaking yummy!!!

    Excellent authentic Mexican food! They have a very extensive menu but my go-to is the al pastor burrito which is huge and perfectly seasoned. I can never finish it in one sitting. Also love the chips with their homemade sauces. The restaurant itself is quite small and no frills, but the food is delicious and comes out quickly.
