“ Really really good food. We had two massive burritos with pastor and Chile Verde and both were excellent. Guac and salsa were really great too. The people were super friendly and accommodating. 10/10 would eat here again. ”
“ I’ve driven past this spot countless times, always put off by the packed street parking—until I found the hidden lot in back. Total game changer. From the outside it looks small, but inside there’s plenty of seating and a cozy, casual vibe. Staff is friendly, the crowd’s mostly local (a good sign), and the food lives up to it. We had asada burritos and a large horchata—huge portions, super tasty, and came with fresh chips and salsa while we waited. Prices are fair for what you get. Would I come back? Absolutely. Just don’t miss that back lot. ”
“ This is a hidden gem it’s not super low-key cause a good amount of people were there around the same time as me, but it’s not crowded either. In other words, great atmosphere very quiet and laid back but open for opportunities of conversation. The service was very speedy. I took roughly 4 minutes to look at the menu and order and the plate got there in 10 minutes max, Im pretty sure less than that. The food wasn’t the freshest, like I know it hasn’t just been taken off the hottest most boiling stove after being marinated for several days, but it was still hot and enjoyable. I think the flavors could’ve been brought out with more spice as it seems kinda bland when mild. Overall, great experience if you read this check it out. P.S. I got the chicken enchilada combo it was a fair price, I think roughly $15. ”
“ The food was top tier! My parents and I were so happy and full. My burrito had so much Birria in it, and it was only $12. Chips and salsa were on point, and the service was super quick and friendly. My mom had birria tacos, and my dad had green enchiladas all on point! This is my new favorite mexican spot. I kinda want to keep it a secret because there wasn't a wait but it's too amazing not to share. ”
