Their Torta Milenasa pollo was cooked well, ingredients were fresh, and the staff was beyond helpful!

This is my fave place around the aerea for the last 3 years , food is delish , I would say thankfully I had never had any issues with them either their food , tried a little of everything front be menu and have to say just kick what you like usually and you'll like to ;) , nice ladies at front , in general very family and tasty Mexican food place !!

I'm not telling you this story because I want the restaurant to be judged, but I am telling you that if you need any motivation to learn Spanish, here it is. I tried to call in a to-go order today and when I started speaking in English the lady immediately hung up the phone. So I called back and ordered in Spanish and then they made my order right away, they probably don't even realize it was me. The food was awesome, the burritos are huge and only $9. So yeah go learn Spanish and then you'll be able to eat here!

It's a very casual restaurant that seems authentic, all employees but one speak English which made me enthusiastic that the food would reflect that too. Honestly the food isn't great but it isn't bad either, it's sort of bland and lacks much seasoning/flavor, my dad and I both ordered a strip steak "dish", mine was a torta and his was a taco dinner. The torta tasted EXACTLY like a burger... I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but I really enjoyed the bread they used. I'm not sure about the tacos, but my dad said they were okay, he just expected more from an authentic Mexican restaurant. I would come again and try something new though.

Staff smiled the moment we walked in and quickly asked if we wanted to order drinks. Tacos were good, the salsas added great flavor to the tacos and each taco comes w plenty of meat. The horchata was rich and Really good place for a quick bite.

Excellent food and very reasonable can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. Very authentic Mexican food and the prices are great

Best in town Love at first taste this has become my favorite Mexican restaurant! I highly recommend this place for everyone to try.

Always friendly staff, prices are most reasonable. I love their menudo. Somewhat inconvenient location most of the time because parking is super limited depending on time of day.

My review is mainly based on the dish that I ordered and price. This place has actually been recommended for some time and so I was finally able to try it today. I went in knowing that I wanted to try tacos. I ordered the taco dinner which actually only listed having 2 tacos. Most places offer 3 taco dinners. I was not sure what to expect. Their selection of meats was fairly diverse. I narrowed it down to Al Pastor and Tripa (Tripe fried hard). I had to check behind the counter to see if they had their Al Pastor on the vertical rotisserie. I was able to confirm it and felt safe with my order. I received my tacos with the usual rice and beans. The tacos were huge! Double tortilla and generous filling. 2 tacos were definitely enough. Both tacos were good and met my expectations. The meal only cost $6.50! You can't beat that for lunch! Definitely pleased. If you happen to work in the area, I would definitely recommend this for lunch. I will have to try other plates on their menu! Check it out and judge for yourself.
