10/10 Recommend! Came in on a friend's recommendation and was blown away. Alitzel provided amazing service, warmly greeting me and recommending the Campechana fries. I customized them, and they were perfect—crispy fries, flavorful meat, and the sauce on the side was a great touch. Fantastic food and fantastic service!

Been coming here for a while and I have to say that this is THE place to get excellent Mexican food. From simple burritos and tacos to the extravagant stoner fries and hot cheetos burrito, you can never go wrong with any of their food items. Not to mention the incredible staff they have working at this establishment, especially Octavio who has just been awesome ever since I started coming here. I’ll definitely recommend others to come here. Photo: Chicken Burrito with guacamole, pico de gallo, and black beans

DoorDash order today Saturday, around 2 pm. The food was ready fairly quick. The California Burrito was massive, it was just too delicious. My wife also enjoyed her Two Taco Combo. Good amount of food, excellent taste. The Melon water we got was just too sweet, but maybe that’s just how the fruit was, but we didn’t finish it. Too sweet for our taste.

My family and I had dinner here last night. I recommended this place because the last time I was here, I thought the food was pretty good. It's been a while since I last visited here. We each got our own meals and shared 1 dish together. The bill was almost $100. Very expensive!! Don't get me wrong, the food was pretty good, but the price was a little over the top, especially for 3 people who ordered 1 thing for themselves and all together shared an appetizer. Aside from that, it wasn't that busy when we got there. There wasn't a table/booth big enough that was ready for us right away (needed someone to take away wine glasses and wipe down booth). The staff was kind. The atmosphere was great. Loved the music playing in the background. Overall, we enjoyed our food. We just hope the prices will come down eventually.

Great tacos! Had an al pastor and a fish taco with rice and beans. Chips and guacamole were solid as well. Jose provided awesome service!
