By far the best chilaquiles I’ve had at a restaurant!!!! Even their micheladas were on point. I’m here from Seattle just for Christmas shopping and if I’m ever in this area again I’ll definitely be coming back

Found this place while out for a casual walk. Talk about great tacos! They were gone before I could snap a pic. Salsa was fantastic. Flavors were on point. Miguel was very warm and welcoming. We will be back for sure to try more menus items.

I ate here for the first time today. The service was so friendly, and the burrito was AMAZING! I loved their salsas, and that was some of the best al pastor I've had in awhile. I only gave 'atmosphere' a lesser rating because I'm a disabled guy, and I tried to use the table to aid myself to a stand. It almost flipped because it was so rickety and unevenly balanced. Had there been food on it, the food would have gone into my lap. Regardless, I'm new to the neighborhood, and I'll definitely be back! Consider this my new burrito spot.
