Lupe is a wonderful server. We’ve been here multiple times and she remembers our requests and order from several weeks past. We love coming here and having her take care of us. Will definitely be back again

My friends recommended we show up right at 11:00 when they open. That seems to be the best time to arrive, as all the fixings and meats are fresh. We were served immediately and the food was very good. The Waitresses were very responsive and filled our drinks very quickly. I was glad we arrived early as the lunch rush was quite large and the parking lot was completely full by the time we left. A great experience overall, but just be sure to show up when they open at 11:00.

My boyfriend and I have been here twice together. Both times were delightful and delicious. I had the steak burrito and the chimichanga. They were both so good and I had leftovers. My boyfriend had the enchiladas and I’m looking forward to those next time we go.

I heard about their unlimited tacos offer; it sounds like a great deal. I did come by to find out, and yes, unlimited tacos. I do highly recommend coming with an empty stomach, as you do get full quickly. Overall, the variety of the tacos was ok.

I got the carne asada street tacos for dinner. They were good but really tiny. It came with 3 and I easily could have eaten 5. I loved the cute little tortilla chip bowl the refried beans came in. My husband got the carne asada burrito and really liked it. It was pretty big and a much better value for what you are paying.

We had Martha as our server tonight. Her recommendations were spot on, her smile was addicting and we felt appreciated. The food was amazing, I had street tacos and the meat was incredible, the restaurant was warm and inviting. We would recommend this place 100% and would definitely ask for Martha as our server. She was a delight!
