“ Best kinda of hole in the wall Mexican place. The shrimp taco is an absolute must. It is one of the juiciest and freshest shrimp I had in a taco covered in a fried batter. The Jamaica was also perfectly made with just the right balance of sweet and sour. Also ordered the Al pastor and carnitas which were also good, but the flavor didn’t stand out. ”
“ Ordered the Chilaquiles (Rojo) w Pastor and the huarache. Easily some of the best mexican food we’ve had in the city!!! Especially coming from SD, we miss the easy access to great tasting mexican food and this really hit the spot. Would come back anytime for it. The chilaquiles was the star!!! Even though it was spicy, it hurt so good hahaha. Thank you for the great food! ”
“ The bistec torta from here was so good, I went back three times in two days. I also tried enchilada con salsa verde and another bistec platter, which were good, but I still like torta the best. I will be back for more tortas! I paid with a credit card for the first time via the card machine by the cash register. I found it weird that I got charged via square app on a personal phone to 'Ismael' (shows up as beauty/barber shop) the second time I was there. I paid with cash the third time I went there as I didn't want to deal with the weird charge via the staff's personal cellphone. ”
“ Awesome Chicken Chilaquiles and Cheesy Birria Tacos! The staff was super kind and the food came out fairly quick. Also one of the few remaining spots that give you free chips and salsa! The chicken was grilled and juicy and the consomme was perfect for an early brunch ”
