Tacos really good. Rice and beans flavorless. This place when I walked in was all Hispanics and it was like everyone looked up when the gringo walked in. Ha! I don't care I'm here for the food! I grew up in CA and my best friend who lived across the street was Mexican. I only wish once the food was served the server would check back just once to see if anything is needed.

What a perfect place for Taco Tuesday! First of all, great service. Our waiter was attentive and checked on us at a good pace. Second, the food was so good! This was my first time visiting and as a note, the tacos are individual taco orders and not like a set meal. So I ordered 2 Chicken Tacos Dorados, 1 Al Pastor Taco (I love Al Pastor), and a tamale. They were so good! I ate them quick because I couldn't get enough of a bite. Squeezed some lime over them, used both of the salsas they offered, and went to town on my food. I wish I didn't eat lunch because I really wanted more! Most importantly, the prices are very affordable! Great prices, great food, great service? And if you have time to, they also offer drinks. Next time, I'm definitely ordering more food and a margarita or two!
