This was and always is a great place to eat! The food is absolutely amazing and the staff is super friendly! If you're a fan of Mexican food this is a must for you. My wife and I eat there at least twice a month and have yet to have a bad experience there! I recommend the "wet burrito" with shredded beef! But make sure you bring your appetite with you because it's huge and delicious!!!! Did I mention the prices are extremely reasonable? Only downside to the food is they give you tostada shells with the great salsa they make there and I think it would be better with tortilla chips.

Hands down the best Mexican Food in the Valley. I’m a huge fan of the carnitas but all their dishes are consistently good. The service is always on point and the refried beans you get with your chips are a game changer. Definitely a must!

Quite simply some of the best Mexican food I’ve eaten. I tired the combination platter. The chicken Tamale is first in class, the enchilada with pork deserves to be famous, and the steak taco delicious though I would prefer a corn taco shell to the flour it comes with—because I love corn shells for tacos. Space is big and set up for a quick turn around and service is spot on. Food came quickly.

Definitely 5 stars Some of the best Carnitas I've ever found and a darn good Cadillac Margherita. These guys give a whole new meaning to the phrase "running food" to the tables - they were all just about running. The entire staff is excellent, on the ball , fast, and friendly. Starting with the opening chips n salsa , everything is top shelf. Wish iived nearby, you should go eat here at least once a week. Fyi - that's a 'junior' burrito , portions are large , and whatever is in that chips salsa is darn good stuff.
