I absolutely love this place! Best barria tacos in town. The carnitas is out of this world delicious. The service is quick but not necessarily overly friendly, but the food makes everything worth the experience. Highly recommend

My husband and I had dinner there recently. Their January special BBQ brisket tacos were really good! We also shared these with a quesadilla. My husband likes their flans too!

It was totally by accident that I stumbled upon this amazing restaurant...we were out driving back home looking for a quick pit stop and the restaurant showed up on drive home. I was able to go in ask the Manager to use the restroom and decided to get some snacks for the road. I ordered the esquites and Agua Fresca I know they had hibiscus and passion fruit. I tried the passion fruit which came in a huge 32oz cup and it's very sweet but refreshing. I looooove esquites so I'm always happy to find a place that serves it I watched him make it on the food line and it is muy delicioso....I can't wait to go back and get it again along with their birria tacos which looked so good. They also had a machine in the back with freshly prepared chips that looked really good. The restroom is tidy and the restaurant had great vibes. Please go check this place out all the employees are attentive, friendly and hard working !

Food: 5 Customer Service: 5 Location: 5 Affordability: 5 Parking: 5 We found this Mexican restaurant last weekend while researching something for dinner. We noticed that they had very little but great Google and Yelp reviews, so we decided place an take out order. So we submitted our order through their website and the process was seamless and very easy. Upon arrival and entering the restaurant to grab our order, the staff was very friendly and pleasant. We ordered a chicken burrito and their burria tacos. Both my spouse and I truly enjoyed everything we ordered. The tacos was excellent and definitely worthy of all raving!!! The chicken burrito was huge and stuffed with tons of meat. Everything we orderd was delicious and mouthwatering. I would highly recommend this place and don't allow them being co-located with a gas station to fool you. This Mexican restaurant will definitely be on our regular schedule, and I'm positive that we'll be returning very soon!!! @glampedlife

A friend and I decided to come here yesterday. They are located next to a gas station. Or shall I say it is connected. Because I have heard of how good the food is, this is why I decided to go. I wouldn't typically. It was empty when we arrived but as soon as we ordered, the flood gates opened! People were in and out. The food was fresh, hot (ceviche was cold of course), chips were fresh and the drinks were nice! They had music playing the whole time we were in there. It made for a true Mexican experience. I forgot to take a picture of my elote! This was delicious! If in the area or want to take a little trip, go check them out!
