Must have been starved, but they could have real good Carne Asada fries. I'm usually a bit of a pessimist when it comes to carne asada. I was a bit surprised that they had a good tasting combination there. The kid and I shared, and it hit the spot. Thanks...will be back to try something different soon

Is always been good here so far. In all aspects as well as the hrs their open, we sometimes get off work late, and start early some other times, but we can always count on This place to not go home hungry. Well I was there with my boy's they seemed to like the food as well, always good food, friendly faces and beautiful smiles.

Highly recommend the chicken soup, they use chicken thigh and leg instead if shredded breast meat which overcooks. Great cure for the common cold.

My local pride of Mexican meals. We have family dinner here every month and taking visitors here for the taste of homemade Mexican food. Excellent beef soup and tacos.

Best breakfast burrito I've had in awhile, the tortilla was so soft/fresh! I got the sausage breakfast burrito and asked them to add beans to it. It wasn't greasy and it was bigger than most. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and their green salsa is fire

I love this place because you can always count on them being open during the holidays. I work in the service industry and work every holiday; and while most taco shops are closed within all the surrounding areas, our boy Oscar awlays comes through. I went last night and you bet your sweet tuchus I'm going again tonight. LOVE YOU OSCAR
