    Wow!! Food was incredible BUT I must say that these are the absolute best Tacos Al Pastor that I have ever experienced. I had to order more. Crispy, a little crunchy, and packed with flavor on home made tortillas. We will be adding this to our list of regular stops.

    This place has very good potential to be a regular spot. They have the best quesadillas ever. The tacos were alright, to be honest. The meat was rather dry, in my honest opinion, but I feel like it could've just been an off day for them when I tried it. The lady who helped us was absolutely sweet and really took time to get our orders correctly. The birria is good but definitely did not have a good consomé. It was very watery and not rich, and I think that made the birria taste rather plain a bit. But I think it's worth going back again for the chorizo, the quesadillas, and their amazing horchata :)

    Beautifully decorated and brightly lit Mexican restaurant is a gem that specializes in tacos, quesadillas and much more. The menu has many delicious food items from which to choose as well as fountain drinks and cold case beverages. Counter/wait staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgable in explaining dishes to newbies. Very clean dining area and bathroom. There are wall mounted TVs provided too. Food is prepared to order in their open kitchen and the dining area wall is painted with uplifting religious passages. They offer dine-in or take-out orders and the prices are reasonable especially for families. Parking is on the street and the entrance is handicap accessible.

    We had Birria tacos, Birria Quesadilla, tacos de pollo and Horchata. Everything was delicious! First of all the place is very clean, very nice and it was too packed that day. Second the young girl who took our order was very nice! Even the cooks were nice! And third the food was nice and hot and very delicious!!!!! The Birria was tasty, not spicy, it had a little kick here in there but nothing too spicy. The sauce to the Birria to die for! I could drink it lol. The cheese with the meat was so delicious, everything was flavorful, and I loved the onions and cilantro on top. The horchata was refreshing! And perfectly made.
