Food was ok. We all had tacos obviously but they were not that tasty. They were ok. The tortillas were sort of cold and not soft. Tha salsa bar looked good too. I wouldn't go here again.

The al pastor had a great marinate, so did the asada. Overall great tacos at a decent price. The salsas had nice flavors to them

BOMB- cebollitas asadas and chiles asados-free. Salsa bar deliciosa- includes guacamole….crazy. Their hot salsa is thick like it was made from fresh ground chilis in my molcajete. Carne asada tacos mucho sabor. Quesadilla is big. Glad we stopped in-soooo good and great deal.

This place slams. The food is delicious, service is quick and courteous, salsa bar with grilled onions, grilled jalapenos, and guac was awesome. 2 for 1 margs during HH was better than expected even. All for a very affordable price. Easy 5 stars.
