Crispy tripa nachos are sooooooo gooood! It's probably my favorite Mexican spot in the valley. For some reason everyone but this restaurant does crispy tripa Wrong and their red hot sauce is so

Fries are a hit or miss. Sometimes they are overcooked and too crispy. They are really good though, BUT they serve them in those typical containers for every other food/plate with the dents to separate the rice, beans, and meal. So they put in less food for that reason. Please change this!

I don't leave too many reviews but this place was too good to not mention. We got the taco plate and additional tacos on the side. Everything, and I mean everything was delicious; beans, rice, tacos, salad, amazing. My favorite part was their red salsa. Damn was it hot!! You never get a really spicy salsa at restaurants. Their salsa is sooooo good. Anyways, I'm looking forward to visiting this place in person (we ordered through Postmates).

First time coming here and definitely won't be my last. I had 1 taco de buche and 1 de cueritos. Both tacos were delicious. The service was also really good. The only I regret is not getting more tacos. I can't wait to come back

Ordered from this place through UberEats after a long day at work. We've been craving for some really good burritos and decided to try this place out. We ordered 2 al pastor burrito and carne asada fries, and the burritos sure hit the spot!! We asked for extra sauces on the side and they gave us more than enough. As a healthcare provider, we are praised for our work during this tough time. But local businesses who support their community by staying open to cater to people, are the true unsung heroes. We appreciate what you do and you deserve every bit of support from us! So next time you guys are craving for a good burrito and want to try something new, try this place out and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!! (I mentioned that I was a healthcare provider, not to expect anything in return or anything for free, but I wanted them to know that I supported them because we nurses know how it feels like not having the support that what we need at this time of crisis. As a community, we need to come together and help one another instead. It was so kind of them to add some chips (that were freshly made) and some flan with a heartfelt note that I will be keeping on my fridge!)
