Everything to love! I stopped by accident as I was intending to visit the Pho restaurant a couple of doors down.The Food God intervened for me. I'm in love of lust for this place. Exceptional tasting food. Quantities and prices that make you wonder how they are doing it. I had the Torpedo Burrito and I will say one thing: fat man (me) will be back and regularly.Service is quick and the establishment is clean. It reminds me of my trips to Morelia! Do yourself a favor and go. I'd say it's worth a 20 mile drive!Note I almost never do 5 stars, so 4 is great.

This place was packed -- and closing early for a private event. My taco chingon -- shrimp and bacon -- and aguacate taco -- were packed with onion, tomato, lettuce and cilantro -- and drizzled with the green sauce -- just right. My friend had guarache with meat -- and it was laden with cheese, avocado, sour cream and diced meat -- I had never tried it before but I might just order it again. Food is plentiful, prepared fresh and served fast. See you again soon.

Consistently good Mexican food! I created my own combo with cheese quesadilla, carne asada taco, and a tamale which came with rice and beans. It was filling and all tasted fresh! They have a 'tamale of the day' so be sure to check the board when you enter. You are given complementary chips and salsa on the table which is always a nice touch! Reasonable prices. Usually busy inside.

We've picked up from here a few times before and it is officially our go to for movie night. This place has the best chimichangas ever! So crispy and tasty! The steak tacos are also really good! The staff is very quick to get orders ready so I just call before I leave my house and the food is ready within minutes of getting there.There is also a good amount of seating in the restaurant if you're looking for a night out. Assuming the food is as good if not better when eating in. All in all I feel lucky to have this place within 5-10 minutes of my home.

I know this is a popular place. I decided to check it out.Now, I'm somewhat of a snob when it comes to Mexican food. There's a clear difference between Mexican and Tex-Mex or American-Mexican food.I don't knkw why authentic Mexican food isn't more popular. It's cheaper, fresher, and tastier.Stepping inside, I got an authentic vibe. The place isn't fancy -- in fact quite simple -- so I expected it focused on Mexican customers more than anything, which means more authentic food.When I got the food, I was so pleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything tasted fresh, the dishes were authentic, and service was pretty quick/I've come here many times. And sometimes I regret ever trying them, because I've ended up spending a lot on them! Any time I have a hankering for Mexican food, this is my go-to place.

I've been coming here for years and typically really enjoy it. It's authentic Mexican food and the prices are very good. I've always gotten the combination plate with a taco, enchilada, tamale, rice and beans and it has hit the spot. More recently, I decided to change it up and went with the burrito suizo and it was truly just bad. The sodium level was through the roof and I really only tasted salt. Once I scraped off the red sauce, it was edible. I'll be sticking to something more basic next time.

Steak sope was the winner of this combo. Chicken enchilada came in second, and chicken taco third. The tacos did have the double layer of corn tortillas which was perfect and authentic. All great juicy flavor, but missing maybe a little more spice blend (like cumin). Rice wasn't worth it, very oily tasting. I'd say rice and chips could use a bit more excitement, but main course was amazing!

I have been eating here for around 9 months and I have always tipped well. Several times I have left a 10 dollar tip on a 20 dollar bill. The last time I ate here, they gave me a service fee without telling me in addition to the tip. I called them after I left to ask why I had a service charge, they said they keep a document that I consistently tip 25 cents. I told the person on the phone that I always tip well and they must have the wrong person, but the lady rudely insisted that I was a "horrible tipper". She also said that I can "do everything myself if I don't want to spend money". Also, on the same day, they forgot one of my sides and I had to tell them to take it off my bill. The staff here is very rude, provides bad service, and doesn't seem to care about their customers. The lady at the phone should get off her high horse as she is rude and nasty, incorrectly complaining about bad tips when the service here is bad. Personally I won't be coming here again, but if you want mediocre food, horrible prices, terrible service, and a rude money grabbing phone worker this is the place for you.
