Their breakfast burritos are one of my favorites, delicious and very reasonably priced. The food and service are good, but I took off one star because they add a convenience fee if you pay with cards or digital payments like Apple Pay or Google Pay. It’s not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of.

Got the spicy pork tacos (w/cheese) along with a side of chips n queso. For this being my first visit and the time of night (10pm), the food was really, really good! The service was great! Just the right amount of spice on the pork, nothing overwhelming. Chips n queso very good as well. Great prices! I'll make this a place to grab a great meal from now on! Trust me... lol. I would and will suggest this place to friends and family. You will not be disappointed. I promise you!

It was great!!! The tacos and quesadilla I got had me while full wanting more after I was done it was that good! I'll be making this place a regular lunch stop. I can't express how good it was, it was just that good. All their salsas are fantastic! Definitely and I mean Definitely recommend this place! The orange ish colored salsa is some of the best salsa I've ever tasted. Do not know what it's called. But Definitely amazing!

***UPDATE*** We visited in person today and is a warm, inviting, and clean restaurant. I tried the menudo and it was delicious! My husband had chilaquiles rofos without egg and they were really good. The rice and beans were on point. They offer several aguas frescas. I had tamarind and he had pineapple. See pictures. We've never been physically to the restaurant, ordered for delivery only, and we've tried several different items. I only have 3 pictures though of the carne asada tacos and the street corn which you can't take see all of. We've also had their machaca, eggs, flank steak with shrimp and green onions, chicken enchiladas, which comes with rice and beans, and menudo. Everything has been delicious, hot, and fresh. I can not recommend this place enough, food wise. It's the real deal! The only complaint I have is the amount you get for the street corn. I thought the serving size was too small for almost $10. It tasted amazing, though!
