F G.F G: Hella good. Guacamole, Yucca fries, rice & beans, carnitas, and carne asada. All for $19 (round off). Ordered online. Picked up in person :P

BommyBommy: Try every taco. Fish taco and carne asada tacos are the best. Don't forget to get the really fresh-tasting guacamole! Recommend sitting in the rear outdoor patio.

Luis G.Luis Gachuz-Meza: Try the huaraches, which is a corn "sandal shaped" patty filled with beans. The menu is confusing, but try the toppings. Carne asada is boring, try the chicken tinga!!!

Luis G.Luis Gachuz-Meza: Mexico City Street food at its best and definitely an original and tasty gem!!! Try their mole, it is one of the best I've tried outside México.

Mayra C.Mayra Chavez: try the nopal con pina agua fresca

Mark B.Mark Beers: Not authentic Mexican - it is really a Southwest style place, but the crispy tacos are the bomb. Great salsa bar too.

Emily P.Emily Parker: They have great crispy chicken tacos!

G.R. M.G.R. Medina: This place is always infested with children. They run free without a leash and the parents let them like it's a McDonald's play area! Go after 7:45 for a more "kid free" experience.
