Had to make a quick pit stop, and I needed something to drink. I chose their horchata, and it was delicious and refreshing. The place was really clean and the staff was super nice to me.

Favorite taco place for my wife and me. Our favorite here is the asada tacos y sopes. The salsas are also delicious and they are not stingy with it. You get a bottle of each salsa at your table. Good prices too.

First timer today. I had the wet burrito with asada. I also ordered it with half red and half green salsa. It was very good. The asada is delicious, with a great taste. Can’t wait to go back to try other items off the menu.
