Nice little spot! Come here to eat before a show and was pleasantly surprised by the food. I had a Chile relleno plate and my wife had tacos and we both liked our food a lot. Interior is very basic, but the food is great and the people were friendly.

My fiancé and I stopped by here on a whim before a show at the Fox earlier tonight. Hooooly cow the tacos we got were SO good. He got carnitas, I got chorizo and chicken tinga. Omggggggg!!!! Chorizo was fabulous, not too greasy, and spicy. The chicken tinga was super savory and juicy. The green salsa we both had was SO good - fresh and acidic. And don’t get me started on the corn tortillas - so good. The guy who rang us up was super nice, horchata was gas, music was vibey. Food was amazing AND well priced. Please consider stopping by if you’re in the mood for some tasty tacos.

Smaller restaurant with excellently tasting and dressed tacos, only $4 per taco!! The value for the amount of protein on these is exceptional. Food was quick to be served, presented beautifully, and was very satisfying. My personal favorite in order would probably be: Carne Asada, Pescado (these were both great and could go either way for first), the carnitas (these carnitas felt more slow cooked in a pot vs baked/fried, they were very tender and good but my personal preference is carnitas with some hard baking/frying to add some crispness to the exterior), and the Tinga. I would visit here again, especially if value for food is a high priority

Absolutely delicious and authentic Mexican food. The people who work here are genuinely friendly, and it's easy to see (and taste) their effort in making incredible food. This is a new and growing business, so some amenities are constantly being worked on; but what they have definitely mastered is their carefully constructed dishes. The prices are very cheap, and I'd dare to say they have the best prices in the area. Please come support this business, and bring a friend or two.
