This was legit! The people were so kind and the super asada burrito they made was delicious. This hole in the wall is the best spot in town! We found it because it had a lot of good reviews and it was seriously so good....Read More

Really good tacos for take out with handmade tortillas. Small bakery with no seating, food took a while to come out. But tacos were really great in flavor and large, $3 each as of March 2023.

Delicious Mexican baked goods, and some of the best taco’s I’ve had! Beautifully served with roasted onions, jalapeño, and lemon on the side along with a fantastic salsa roja. Was a fantastic stop on my way up the valley.

Great authentic Mexican food specially the tamales. Their services was great! Perfect spot for a quick bite as they don’t have tables to sit but food is worth it.

One of the best tacos I’ve had! The carne asada and pastor tacos were superior. The carnitas were ok and even the chicken taco was very flavorful. The tortillas are the best of all though. Homemade and totally fire.

The tamales were delicious. It's rare to find tamales that remind you of your tias tamales 😋. I wish they had a place to sit. But other than that, I would totally recommend it. I bought the tamal de pollo con chile verde y tamal de...Read More

This place is amazing. All the reviews are true. We live in Oregon and my kids want to plan another trip to California just to eat here again. My teen said "Please have them cater my funeral."

I didn't take pictures of my food. No regrets though, hands down a spot to stop by for your Mexican food or desserts/pastries. Food is fresh and every penny you spend is worth it. Elaborate menu and choices for such a small spot. Lots of meat to...Read More

Don’t waste your appetite anywhere else in Greenfield, especially not at a fast food restaurant. This place is excellent and boasts a bakery to sweeten the deal. The tortillas were thick and homemade and the freshly made carnitas was tender and juicy.

Great food, friendly and fast service! This place is a little hard to find. We had to circle back around to find it. The entrance is actually on the side of a building. The torta and burrito were perfect! The bakery was also delicious! Don't pass this...Read More
