    Good food...  any place that has a salsa bar I LOVE!!!    Some places (tacos Mexico) give you a little chingadera of a cup!   If you want more, it's $.50c each!   Never went back there because of that!   They can keep their salsa.

    Keep up the good food!

    Ok, first off...this is not Mexican food. You don't find hamburgers and chicken nuggets in a Mexican restaurant. Then, you order a burrito for $7.75, a mid-range price for a decent sized burrito...but add cheese and they charge you an extra $2?!?! And not even tell you. Maybe like .75, not $2. And I don't even find any cheese in the burrito, must be $2 because it's invisible.
    THEN the bait and switch...Sunday tacos for ONLY 60 cents?!?! What a deal! Not. They want to charge you a dollar to get limes. And they need lime, no flavor in the meat anyway. Then chips are another dollar, but wait, you want salsa with the chips? Another dollar. Then went to go sit down and most of the tables were not clean.
    The menudo taste is not great at all, and although they give you a few limes for it, it's not nearly enough for the bowl.  
    My 60 cent taco Sunday cost over $25, and I left unsatisfied.

    Wait! I forgot...when I arrived I stopped at the restroom and it was disgusting. Someone had flooded the stall, left a ton of paper and seat covers, and the seat cover dispenser was half hanging off the wall. The urinal barely flushes so you have urinate on other people's urine. Ew. The sink is damaged, wet and dirty...and the paper towel dispenser barely works.

    I wasn't the biggest fan. I didn't eat in the restaurant, I got it delivered so I don't know the ambience or customer service. But personally, the food wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either. I would say it was average. I was just hoping for a lot more flavor and felt it came more bland. I ordered the wet chicken burrito, for anyone wondering.

    I don't plan on eating here again. But, I could have just gotten their food on a bad day so I always recommend giving it a try for yourself. :)

    I've been here a few times for breakfast but I have not had the time to post a quick review. My experience have been all pleasant. Friendly staff, order was quick and the food was pretty good and the place is clean.

    This was our first time and LAST ever at this place. We went with a group of friends and they had been here before and liked it. I tried to show the group it had a B GRADE!! The group still wanted "Mexican" style food. We stayed and I prayed though the whole meal that no one would get food poisoning!!

    My nacho plate was not piping hot and had stale greasy chips. Hardly any cheese!! There was no salsa just a few sprinkled tomatoes. I make a better plate of nachos at home.

    My son's carne asada fries were forgettable. The crinkle fries tasted freezer burnt and were not cooked throughly. The so called "carne asada" was tough and bland. Then a giant scoop of "guacamole", it was just mashed avocados, was repugnant.

    My husband didn't care for the bland beans
    or the "green salsa" that was just heat no flavor.

    My friend ordered a "carne asada" burrito what was full of tough meat and had too much green fire "salsa". She had such difficulty trying to bite the burrito and "suffer" with the "salsa" she gave up and barely had a third of it.

    My other friend had the taquito plate with a giant glob of "guacamole". She seemed to like it. She took her time biting it because of the long strands of shredded meat.

    I would AVOID THIS PLACE!!
