I was there today with my family, I like the pictures on Instagram so I decided to check it out, and YES the food was amazing, delicious, a little bit grease but that's how is made, I will definitely come back, Missing some back round music, I recommend it 100%
The atmosphere was great, really calm, the food was amazing and the waitress was really nice overall 10/10
It was our first time here and everything was amazing , everyone was attentive and helpful even though it was a busy Saturday. I went to celebrate a birthday and the food was great , the strawberry margaritas were amazing and the chips and guacamole were Devine . The atmosphere was 10/10 . We asked for a candle for the celebration and they changed the music brought out a sparkle and a sombrero ! Amazing experience, definitely recommend it !
1st time here and I really enjoyed the food service and atmosphere. I tried their cheesy birria tacos and the flavor was the best I have ever tried. Nachos to munch on while I waited for my food I also had a delicious pina colada. Waitress was super polite and very attentive I will go again and again. I went on a Monday and they have a special where on normal days birria tacos come with 3 but on Mondays they give you 4 delicious juicy tacos for the same price of 3. Definitely recommend.
Definitely come hungry and try the Birria Taco Tray. It’s so good when it comes out fresh off the grill. Will definitely come back again to try their other offerings. Also, they give you complimentary chips and dip!
Me and my cousins stopped by this taco spot and let me tell you—it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and chill, and the service was quick and friendly. We tried a variety of tacos, and each one was bursting with flavor. The meats were juicy and well-seasoned, and the toppings were fresh and perfectly balanced. The sauces? Chef’s kiss. We also loved the drinks and sides—everything hit the spot. This place gave us a great experience, full bellies, and lots of laughs. Can’t wait to come back again!
THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME ORDERING FOOD FROM THIS RESTAURANT AND BOY IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The Food was fresh and delicious. Came with all the sauces i ordered . Delivery on time and friendly. If you want some great authentic Mexican food eat here.
Food was delicious and service was very friendly and attentive. Items off the birria menu are amazing and a must have! Drinks are great and the atmosphere is cozy!
