“ A friend recommended this place and it didn’t disappoint. They charge extra for credit card, but that’s ok. If you cash you are good. Food is good. Plenty of dine in space too. Has games for kids and adults. Parking is ok. ”
“ I love this place, I grew up just a block from here and would always come and eat when I had a little money. The meat nachos are amazing, the asada fries are just as good, and the horchata here is the perfect blend not too sweet, not too light. They have Marvel vs. capcom and a pinball machine along with a few other games. Portions here are big, and prices are fair. I now live out of state but make it a priority to visit here every time I visit. Update visiting again one year later, and still all is good like always, we had a super burrito, and it was huge and tasty only 15 bucks. Cash only as of this review. ”
“ My friend told me about this taco spot she grew up eating as a kid. She said it was a chain, some 12 stores with the same name but different number. This was #1, the first store, but the service and the food didn't seem #1. We've had better street tacos elsewhere so I would not be returning. Everything was mediocre at best, nothing special. And the lady did not want to give me extra green nor red sauces for my 8 tacos total (I purchased 2 of the 4 tacos special for $9.75/each which came with a drink, I got both horchatas (not as flavorful even without ice!!), I had purchased for take out. It was hard to decipher which was asada and which was al pastor. To spend over $20 for tacos, this was not worth it. And this was for 3 people, not 2, we needed both green and red sauces for each person and she was being stingy and rude. No thanks, you just lost a good paying customer!! I won't be returning!! There are tons of Taco Tuesday Specials place everywhere!! ”
“ Have been going here for years. Good food and good service favorite ms are the tacos and chilaquiles verdes ”
“ Great popular local spot to stop in a grab a casual, and very tasty, bite. Be aware, however, it is cash only! We went on a Saturday during a lunch rush and were served within about 10- minutes. They also had plenty of booth seating which was nice. The birria plate was incredibly delicious. If you’re not sure what to get I would just order that. It’s tender braised beef on the bone with sides of refried beans (also very tasty), rice, and corn tortillas to make your own taco. It also came with a side of salsa, lime, cilantro and pickled veggies. You can get guac and extra salsa in 1oz containers for .50c extra. The chicken quesadilla was also very good and was filled with marinated shredded chicken, cheese, crema, lettuce and tomato. They do not hold back on portions and the prices are very reasonable. If nothing else convinces you, they have arcade games as well if you need some entertainment with your meal. ”
