The quickest and most delicious mexican food in gr. Not only is the staff attentive and personable but also create such a great atmosphere. I've been eating here for years and the food still tastes amazing everytime recommend the quesadilla grande el pollo!!

Stopped by running errands and decided to have lunch and was seated immediately. Service was quick and the food was fresh. Everything was great.

Authentic Mexican food, always busy. I didn't find it remarkable but it was good. Add the sauces they offer to add flavor

Omg. The gorditas are AMAZING! My partner and I both decided that's all we're getting next time. These are NOT like Taco Bell, Gorditas. There are a gorgeous mix of toppings in the most delightful, crisp massa breading. Not dense, like an Arepa, but similar, and absolutely delightful! We also got a burrito, and it was good, a little boring, but OK. The tostada was also delicious, I like the burrito it didn't have a lot of filling, but the bread was soft and lovely. Finally, we had flautas, and those were also good. But nothing was as good as the gordita!

The food was very authentic - my husband said "there is a flavor explosion in my mouth!". Best guacamole and grilled veggies!!!

One of my favorite restaurants in the area. My favorite dishes are the lengua gordita and tostadas. Always served hot with fresh ingredients and polite staff.

Just visited for the first time and will be back as soon as possible!!! The food was amazing! Had the Alambre with Steak and Chicken. I wish I could give them 10 stars.

Bring cash to pay less!! Great family run restaurant. The employees who take your order and deliver the food are always smiling. It's a pleasant experience from the customer service to the food itself. We really like the steak quesadilla (which is nothing like most quesadillas elsewhere).

It hurt my soul when they had to close during COVID and I'm so glad they're back open. I've been ordering their steak quesadilla with extra avocado, horchata, extra side of grilled onions (amazing), and tacos dorados (comes with rice and beans, too!) for years. A little greasy at times, but always hits the spot. Their salsa verde is my life source. Really depends on the day how spicy it is, but the hotter the better imo. Not somewhere you should dine in if you want a super fancy experience with lots of attention, but a definite go to for Mexican take out. I don't typically order tacos here since I usually go to Taqueria San Jose for those.

Good place for Mexican. The food was fresh and the service was quick. The food seems very authentic, well as authentic as you would want. The grill they cook on is visible while you pay or depending on where you sit. They go through a lot of meat and onions. The food being cooked looks very fresh and healthy. I would definitely eat there again. The taco combo came with a side dish of assorted vegetables. The onions were delicious!
