The building is unassuming, positioned adjacent to a subway, but as soon as you walk in the smell of authentic Mexican cuisine assures you...you made the right choice. The host/waitress was very sweet and helpful. I will absolutely come back!! Tacos Tuesday!! ”
“ Had the Burrito Loco, it was awesome! Thick and juicy. The green sauce was tangy and had a nice heat to it. Will be coming back! ”
“ I ordered two burritos they were having a special buy one get the other half off. Any other time I’ve come the food has been so good. I got the pleasure of being helped by Pilar (such a pretty name). She was so nice and helped me in choosing what I got today. We had a nice conversation. Such a great atmosphere!! ”
“ Wet Burrito was very good. If you like spice definitely ask for fire salsa. Asusena was definitely a pleasant face to be greeted by as my wife and I walked in. Checking in frequently making sure we didn't need anything. Our food did not take long and was nice and fresh. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Second time here and definitely not the last. ”
“ Got the lunch special. Food was more expensive than I thought it should be but I am full so I guess it’s not like you’re not getting enough! Service was what pushes this over. Super friendly and kind. Pork is ***** super flavorful, a bit spicy but not like hot, just your regular warm. Chicken is ** kinda boring. Super moist and well cooked but lacked in any distinguishable flavor. Really good green salsa. I’d go again to try some other items. ”
“ Asusena was an amazing server. She was kind and courteous and extremely professional. This was my first time coming in and I felt right at home. Thanks again ”
“ Pilar was our server and did an excellent job!! She was very helpful,friendly and knowledgeable about the menu! The food was delicious and very authentic! ”
“ The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. The food was brought quickly, accurately and was delicious. I agree with the other recommendations about the house green. A very nice local establishment. ”
