Other then google maps sending me to Costco everything was wonderful and they misheard the order on the phone had no problem what so ever fixing it right when I showed up. Customer service and the food left me amazed as it seems most places are just about the dollar and not about the experience.

Great service, good prices for the amount of food. Got the Carne Asada Chips and was pleasantly surprised by the amount. The quality was great too, crispy chips and delicious carne asada. Will be coming back!

Tried this spot cause the reviews said the rolled tacos were good. Didnotdisappoint! The tacos were bomb and I can't wait to come back. The only thing that was a bummer was I was asked what salsa I wanted and I said red but I got one red and one green. So I only was able to use one of them but it was so good. I wish I had one cup for each of my 3 tacos. Yum! I will be back!
