I had this place bookmarked for a while and finally came in for a quick bite. They have taco Tuesdays which is awesome. I ordered the al pastor burrito which was a great portion. I love how it came with sufficient salsa and chips! Thats so nice of them to include a small bag of crispy chips and decent portion of salsa. I really enjoyed the flavor of the salsa. Its like chunky molcajete texture which I love. The burrito had great flavor. Really enjoyed the al pastor and portions of meat - rice - beans. I will be coming back.

It was our first time trying this place. I placed the order over the phone. The food was ready when I got there. The food stayed hot until I drove to my fiance's work to eat with him. And the presentation is great. The rice was rice but the beans had so much flavor. He got the green chilaquiles sunnyside up egg with chicken, I got the huevos rancheros with red sauce and HOMEMADE tortillas. Let me tell you though that these tortillas were everything. The entrees came with chips and salsa and the salsa had a good flavor. His chilaquiles were good, the green sauce was definitely better than the my red sauce on the huevos. My red sauce was more sour than anything but it had a good mouth feel.

Their beef soup is plentiful, not short of any meat or vegetables. Everything is very tasty! I like the Horchata too!
