“ Always friendly staff the place is clean and they had a little extension done so another's more space. I fed the tacos in the burritos here and they were very good very tasty and very filling. The pricings nice too. It was kind of a busy night tonight so as nice to see but it is kind of hard because there's really not that much signage even though it's on central just North of devon. ”
“ I stopped by for food during the work day and got a flour tortilla steak quesadilla, can of coke, and chips for under $13. They give you a lot of food and it tastes great. I give it a 5 out of 5 for good service and a lot of great food. I almost missed the small parking lot that exists, but it works well. ”
“ Went here based on reviews 4.4 stars at the time. Got 3 steak tacos with onion and cilantro. The order came quickly. The meat was plentiful, well seasoned, not overcooked. Delicious. Definitely would go back. ”
“ This is by far one of the best places for al pastor meat. Whether it be tacos, burritos, gorditas, or anything else that you order with it, you will not be disappointed. I live by midway airport and we have no problem traveling to Devon and Central just to satisfy the craving. The atmosphere is simple and service is good. ”
“ I've been here twice so far and have had most of the tacos (they are all delicious!), The nachos with steak (), and the amazing tres leches! All very great!!! In the photo with 4 tacos, I added my own crema and cotija cheese at home. Again, everything is delicious here! ”
“ Been here more than three times and can say that the food is pretty consistent. I have tried the burrito suizo which is very good but would be better if sauce was a bit thicker. Otherwise, very filling, and does have good amount of meat and fresher ingredients like the lettuce and tomatoes which can easily show their age. Love how they serve freshly fried chips and salsa while u wait. Made to order and warm ”
“ I came here a few days ago to carryout. I got green steak enchiladas and 2 pork tacos. The green sauce is good but the red sauce has a nice kick, is good and spicy. The food here never fails specially the steak. The steak has sooo much seasoning and flavor and the best part is that the portions are very generous. There's times I go to a mexican restaurant to order enchiladas and either I barely get full or sometimes not full at all. But here I was not able to finish the enchiladas as theybalso served enough lettuce and tomatoes as other places don't serve that either. Overall I highly recommend it. ”
“ First time going to this place. There's only 2 tables occupied when I arrived. The place is clean and doesn't have this sticky or oily floors. I noticed that after the other customers are gone the staffs cleaned the tables right away. The staff is friendly and patience in explaining their menu. A little bit price from the usual go-to Mexican restaurant but it's worth it. Took only few minutes and I already have what I ordered. A plate of Lengua (beef's tongue) Burrito with rice and beans and a large cup of Horchata. The meat is tender and the veggies on it are fresh. It was served hot. The Horchata is good too same thing with their rice and beans. I was surprised that their servings are big. Free freshly made chips too. Money well spent. ”
