On 8/18/2026 Rebecca M. had this to say:
We were pleasantly surprised at how fantastic the food was! Guacamole Mexicano, street corn, street tacos (steak and chicken), beans and rice and mojitos! Everything was so delicious!!

On 5/14/2026 Joe T. had this to say:
We tried Cabo plate, Chicken Chimichanga, and Beef Burrito from their lunch menu. All were served hot and fresh, and tested very good. Their Chips and Salsa were also good with the chips being a little thicker than other restaurants. Service was prompt and professional. They kept our glasses of soda full and bonus points for having Diet Mountain Dew. The ambiance is nice, clean, with the tables spread out. They also have some high top table that will seat 4. Would recommend and will return.

If you are on a budget but you want some good authentic tacos, this is your spot. 2 full plates with tacos rice and beans and only $15. Easily 2 smaller lunches if you portion it out. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is fun, and the service is excellent.

On 2/17/2026 Kushal D. had this to say:
Solid Mexican spot for some enchiladas or chimis. Overall the food was good and their menu is expansive. It's definitely a good spot for a quick bite to curb your Mexican craving. Beans are good, as is rice!
