Had the adobo and al pastor tacos. Both were fine but the tortillas and meat were a little dry. I’d still come back and try something g else before judging this place fully. It was late and I wanted tacos and this was close enough. As noted by another review, I’m not paying for chips and salsa.

I really like this place! Food has always been really good. Reasonable prices. I like the decor and staff. It's underrated because it's next to Aurora but that really doesn't hurt anything. It's nice inside. Try it!

Kinda of a lackluster atmosphere even though it had such a fun decorated space. Though we paid 18 freaking dollars for 2 pretty normal birria tacos, which will not be doing ever again. They were good, so I cant take off too many stars, but $18??? The sauce added $6??? Why? Also took a while and had weird spaces for seating, wanted us to sit right in front of another party eating haha. But good vibes, the food was still good so yeah.

* : 8/10. A hidden gem! We went there for tacos Tuesday! And it was the best decision ever! The carnitas tacos are so perfect! Dry crispy and flavorful! And they give generous portions, with a lot of meats, onions and veggies. Honestly the best tacos I have ever had! * : 7/10. Staff is really friendly and they are always willing to offer suggestion. It takes a while to get seated but we are a big group so I understand! * : 7/10. Located in a very resident neighborhood! It was quiet, and honestly will be hard to find parking! But they do have curbside parkings so it would be really nice! I really enjoyed the authentic decors! It is very Mexican like, and I feel like immersed in Mexico in this restaurant!

Lovely find while we were out. We had the Birria Tacos, Asada and Nopales Tacos. All the Tacos were amazing. I highly recommend the chipotle sauce as well. It is not to spicy but of so flavorful. Parking is a bit of bear but the restaurant is well worth it. If you get a chance to stop in for a quick bite or full meal you won't be disappointed.

Had a great lunch after visiting the zoo. The food was so fresh. What the two sauces added on the top of good food was a surprising deliciousness to highlight the taste.

I ordered Birria with beef. It was amazing. As I m getting older, I need quality than quantity. The two barria tacos with a slice of lime was perfect amount and full of flavour. My taste buds are satisfied as well as my tummy. I cannot wait to try other food next timeThank you!!!

This place is fantastic with great food, quick service, and reasonable prices. We had fajitas and the fried taquitos and everything was delicious, zero complaints and the chips and salsa for $8 was really good with warm chips and a ton of zesty salsa, we will be going back!
