Hungry for Mexican? This place does not play. You order, They are ON it. Food is ready super fast. Their nachos are also very unique as cut tortilla loaded with the toppings on each piece.

Great food and atmosphere, and friendly workers. Personally, I went with a al pastor burrito and an horchata, and the portion was enough to fill me. Keep in mind that refills are $1 for drink refills excluding fountain drinks.

I love their hamburgers, sopes, and especially the nachos with asada that I always get when I do come here! The only inconvenience is the cash sometimes but I mean, the inconvenience is worth the food.

Ever since I got my dog, I’ve struggled when I get hungry while he’s with me in the car. Not every place has outdoor seating or a drive-thru, so this time I was specifically looking for a Mexican restaurant with a drive-thru— and I’m so...Read More

I’ve never really had an issue with the place. The only problem is they don’t accept debit or credit so you have to make sure you have cash other than that the food is delicious.
