I must say the food is very good and the torta mexicanas we got were GI-NORMOUS. I shouldve taken a picture. I also shouldve taken a picture of the menu and prices. Although, the atmosphere, cleanliness and service is fantastic. The items and prices MUST be updated. Its worth it, but just be ready to pay double.

Got a Torta and it was huge, so good tho. The lady who helped us out was so so sweet, service 10/10 and even the people making the food made the effort to ask a family that was there how they wanted their food done. Loved the horchata, I can t find good horchata now and days.

We decided to give it a try and as soon as we walked in we didn t see the prices on the screens we grabbed a paper menu and no prices either and you know what that means yep high prices tacos were $2.10 each and $12 a torta when in other places tortas are $8 or $9 bucks and I was like if they are good it doesn t matter, but nooooo I can get a better torta at a gas station and for less money, one of the three tortas was made with and old bread it was hard the avocado was black the milanesa had no flavor and not enough in it food is not good I m sorry I will never be back. Debut y Despedida.

I ordered a steak quesadilla and the meat had no flavor and the oil they used on the tortilla tasted like it had already been used many times. It had the taste of old oil. And I also ordered tongue tacos and no flavor. The truth is, I didnt like the food. It even gave me stomach pain.

The place is reminiscent of the little taco shops alongside a truck stop, whose sole purpose is to feed the hundreds (maybe thousands) of hungry patrons needing to refill their gas tank or use the restrooms. They won t win in presentation with how they served my Chilaquiles that s for sure. However the Lengua Tacos were so tender and fresh! I should have just gotten 6 of those for myself. The Cuban Torta was ginormous, it could probably feed 4 people. No longer had any room to try the Quesadillas, it was flavorful and cheesy, but lacking in meat. All in all, it was still pretty good to try, but despite the easy drive from home, would only return for those Lengua Tacos (yum!) Green sauce = awesome Red sauce = meh Cleanliness = Atmosphere = easy going, language barrier if you can t speak Spanish; best to just get takeout and eat at home

Everything was fine, except for the lady who served us with a bad attitude, because we were looking at the menu to choose from because it was the first time in this place. He seemed impatient and for no reason because it didnt take us long to order and there was absolutely NO ONE waiting behind us. What we consumed cost more than $50 and the food was truly delicious. I would give 5 stars but that lady ruined a day that we could have enjoyed better.

I d rather offer a great review: However, the quesadilla has something really WRONG!! It has this thick yuk mesa, WET BREAD stuff, no pico de Galla?, no cilantro? Just wet bread bits of cheap steak, iceberg lettuce??What? Por favor, a thin tortilla PLZ- this is Not a Gordita. I pulled all wet bread off & had to throw away 60% of it! Sorry. I just did NOT enjoy this! My relatives told me to go here. I will tell them Not to go back for quesadillas!! Plz fix this! You all are El Ato- WRONG for that horrible wet bread!! Waste of money$$! Maybe the woman should cook- the man take money?? IDK? Best tho!

Since moving to this location the food quality has been horrible. Ive given several chances, but everytime a big disappointment. This last meal did it for me. The torta de milanesa has been the worst. Dry old meat, bread was hard. Picture should tell it all. Big bread for such little food inside. My dogs even turn away from the meat. La calidad de comina muy mal en este nuevo local. Carne seca y dura.

Tried this place out for the first time today from the moment I walked in to the time I left very great customer service the atmosphere for this little taco shop is definitely a good vibe The food was also very tasty. I love the fact that they serve adult beverages as well because who doesn t like a great margarita or beer or even a shot of tequila while having a taco not only do they have tacos they have a great variety of other things. Good job guys you re doing great.

This place looked so yummy and I was going to order but as soon as the lady answered the phone she gave me really bad costumer service I still proceeded to place my order because I really wanted to try the food. As soon as I was about to ask for the total she hung up on me, so I called back and asked for the total she rudely told me when you come pick it up I will tell you. That really killed it for me since I really look for good costumer service in a restaurant.
