The place smells kinda funky but the food is freaking good. And not expensive. Service is pretty good as well. I will definitely comeback for the food. Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
Looks fair but taste so bad. The tacos lacked flavor. No care or love went into this plate. The rice was salty and mushy. The tacos tasted like the sauce was pulled from a can the beans were sour. The fries (she gave to us by mistake) were oily. I did not finish my plate of food. The salsa was also bad not tasty at all. I can see why it was empty during dinner time. Very bad overall Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20
Do not get scrambled eggs here, my kids wouldn't touch them and I don't blame them. Worse than school food. Beans were not seasoned well, the rice had good seasoning but was mush. Just very mediocre food.. not the worst in town but definitely not the best as others have claimed. Just not for us, we like flavor. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2

Ok Food. Good prices. Basic place for the Mexican food locally. Green sauce was good, red sauce had too much oregano. Chips and tortillas are store bought so not ideal. Beans and rice are basic as well. We had the parrillada, it was good!! Meats were nicely cooked and for the price it was a steal! Overall a decent place to satisfy the Mexican food craving.
We got the lengua taco and it was hard as a rock. It was absolutely completely inedible. Like... We would have chipped a tooth on it. The other tacos were also hard as a rock. We tried to pull the meat apart with literally all of our strength and it wouldn't. When I came in, no one was around to assist, and it smelled like literal feces. As I was waiting, I tried to open and close the door again to signal the bell but still no one. There was no one in there (even tho I had just placed my order over the phone). As I was waiting, I looked down in the little window below the cash register and I'm pretty sure the candy that's in there was probably found under one of the booths over 10 years ago, they looked nasty. Again, still while waiting, as I was looking around I couldn't find the food health safety rating and started to wonder what it was, because the place just felt gross honestly. And this was ALLLL BEFORE we even got our to go order and notices how bad the food was. 3 crispy tacos, one lengua taco, one barbacoa, two aguas frescas.... $30. How? The tacos were smaller than any local tacos I've ever seen. And two of them were completely inedible. And I'm not even trying to be dramatic - literally you physically could not eat them. It's like the meat was 3 days old sitting under a warming lamp or something. I know they were closed for a while but... Maybe get some new chefs and clean up the place before opening back up? Idk, just a suggestion. Also maybe a little Lysol? especially if the employee is coming out of the restroom to serve you............. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Even though this is a very small restaurant, we've never had to wait to be seated. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pozole is one of my favorite dishes here. Price per person $10–20

Great food, great service, great prices! My husband and I loved visiting this place. I had the enchiladas and he had the mini tacos. They were amazing! We’ll be coming back soon.
The Inside of the Restaurant is clean and pretty👍The Caldo de Rez I did not like👎Looked like the Caldo was Reheated, not fresh at all but old. I will Not Come Back Again. Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
