“ Came for tacos during lunch. The handmade tortillas were fantastic! Verde salsa packs a punch! Host was very kind. Coming back again soon. ”
“ Stopped in for Mexican food after seeing a movie at the AMC Theater nearby. Cozy little place with a warm vibe. Server was friendly and welcoming. We ordered the Carne asada and Birria Tacos platter. The food was delicious! Meat was tender, and the birria was quite savory. The tacos were HUGE, so we shared the plate. We had Topo Chico mineral water "preparado" which meant it was served in a chilled mug with lime and a salt rim. Perfect accompaniment for our meals. Looking forward to returning to try other menu items. ”
“ We stopped here for lunch today because we were trying to find a taqueria we like in our new neighborhood. The search is OVER! More upscale than a taqueria this little hole in the wall (with a terribly unimpressive sign) is like the Mexican restaurant version of the FX show "The Bear". New management 5 weeks ago, the cook in the kitchen is a legit chef. Best empanadas I've ever had. Hands down. The Piccadillo (ground beef tacos) made me want to cry. I can die happy now. Seriously. Al pastor, asada, and cochinitia pibril---all delicious, tender, and flavorful. And don't skip the churros for dessert. The price was very reasonable--70 For 3 people w tip, and we carried some food out because we were stuffed (and 2 were teenage boys) Cute, small dining room was clean and sophisticated. Great service as well. ”
“ Small but cozy spot with delicious tacos and flautas. The hot sauces are homemade and delicious! The michelada mix and margarita mix is made in house and very fresh! We will definitely be returning! ”
