Came in with a family party of 16. They took us all in quickly, service was very good and attentive. Food was super delicious and fresh fruit/veggie juices. There was plenty for my lady who does not eat red meats.. they have their own parking lot, kid friendly menu, and prices are not high. Servings where very generous. More

Love coming here every time I visit my city! Been coming here for yrs. I love their tortas and gorditas. Everything is fresh, delicious and authentic. I did notice their portions did get small but I mean the prices are good compared to other restaurants. Will keep coming here always!

  • Alfred Santillano

It was a classic mx restaurant when I use to live in the neighborhood. I stopped by and had a steak burrito and the quality of the meat isn't good at all, it has the same problem as the indio restaurant, on how the meat has too much fat. Definitely not recommended. More

Their lent specials on Fridays are amazing, they have tacos de camaron, caldo de catfish, tilapia filets con arroz y frijoles, y tortitas de cameron. Those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head, but their regular menu is really good too.

Haven't been there since last summer as am discovering other vegan restaurants. Liked the oat milk licuados though. Very good! Their asada and Chorizo vegan tacos are yummy. Have to request no dairy though. I tried the pastor and even when

Rare vegan and vegetarian tacos. Authentic taste. Soy pollo is bland, soy pastor and soy chorizo were well-spiced. Yummy smoothies, superman smoothie is delicious. I would not recommend hibiscus drink, it was too tart. Friendly staff. The

They have great food here. The way they handle their food and the entire place on its own is very clean! Their service on taking order, taking payments and taking phone calls needs improvement. They have 1 woman doing all three and during

We’ve come to this restaurant many times before and never had a bad experience till recently. We came here and ordered a torta veggie cubana and chilaquiles. When the food came the first thing I noticed was that the chilaquiles were very

I was saddened to hear that the owners husband had past away. I grew up going here with my mom so it was a very nostalgic place for me but I just recently went and the food changed. I would avoid going to the other locations because only

This restaurant is the definition of QUALITY food at low prices. They have your traditional Mexican dishes (tacos, tortas, gorditas) BUT they also have vegetarian options. They have soy sandwiches/tortas and, my personal favorite, queso

  • Abuelita Maco

Service was excellent, had some vegan tacos (the chkn with Nopales, steak, pastor, and chorizo). The standout was the pastor, but they were all amazing. It is not easy to tell they are not really meat. But they are delicious. Coffee was

  • Mayra Alcantar

The pico de gallo can be a hit or miss sometimes, its either TOO MUCH TOMATO OR TOO MUCH CHILE. Look at all the tomato I got today. & thats not all of it ! I dont mind tomatoes but its to a point it taste TOO much like ketchup!

  • Allahbell Valentine

They got my order and my wife's order wrong. And after I pointed out that our order was made wrong, the waitress gave me a snotty attitude. The food wasn't even good. This was the spot back then but I guess it's not anymore. More
