The food was okay.. It is exactly what I am used to when I order tacos. It had a mostly good flavor. My favorite one was thr barbicoa because it had a lot of flavor compared to the other tacos. The mango pineapple juice was good. There was not too much sweetness which I liked. I could taste thr mango and pineapple well. I had Carne asada Caritas Barbara Al pastor Barbarcoa floutas Mango pineapple juice Each taco cost 5 dollars and was a very small portion as well. The service was nice. Fast and efficient. They brought the food out to us quickly. But they did forget to bring us the water we asked for. The atmosphere is really nice. Clean and very aestetically pleasing. They have a fun vintage Mexican vibe which I appreciate.

Food was good but had higher expectations. We had five different tacos to share, the ceviche,and a tostada. The cevchie as bigger than I thought and pretty tasty. The pollo Verde taco Waa my partners favourite and the pescado #1 was mine. I had some food envy seeing some of the other dishes get delivered. I would go back to try other dishes.

Good! Generous portion and I loved the salsa. I had the porque no plate with mushrooms and potatoes. Great balance of veggies, salad, sauce, and beans/rice. The corn tortillas tasted fresh and were warm. It is an order at the counter place and bus your own table. They have a salsa bar and self serve water. I enjoyed the ambiance it felt homey and was spacious at the same time. Staff was also nice although we didn’t have much interaction apart from ordering.

Such a great vibe, kind of feels like you're in a small town in Mexico stopping by for tacos. Our food was delicious, service was nice and prompt. The ceviche is a must order! Tacos were great and my bf loved his flautas. Definitely recommend, we came for an early dinner so it wasn't too busy. Definitely recommend and we'll be back.
