Most Disliked
Some reviews mention that certain dishes, particularly the steak and beans, may need a bit more seasoning to elevate their flavor profiles. A few customers have pointed out the need for staff to be more attentive during busy periods, as some service gaps can occur. Several patrons noted that while the food is remarkable, the wait staff might not always check back frequently for additional needs or feedback, which can impact the dining experience negatively. Overall, these concerns are relatively minor compared to the abundance of positive experiences shared, but they do offer room for improvement.

Overall some improvement in the steak meat, beans need more flavor, and waitress needs to be more friendly. Never came back to ask if we needed anything else, was close on not giving her a tip. Maybe will take a little longer to come back, or not..

Like everyone in this neighborhood, I love this restaurant. I've been a regular customer since they moved into the space, and will continue to be as long as they're open. Not only is the food authentic and delicious, the staff is kind, courteous, and incredibly accommodating. The owner has repeatedly donated food and space to community events and volunteer groups, and our neighborhood is truly lucky to have them here. If you're ever in the area, stop by and try them out!

Excellent service very friendly and generous with salsa. Salsa tastes great and has guac sauce. Tacos are good, best chicken around. Chicken torta is amazing so are the steak burritos. 1.50 on Tuesdays for beef & chicken tacos. Overall my favorite place for quick Mexican food.
