" Came here after hearing so many great things, but I was somewhat let down. The rice was dry and didn’t have much flavor; the tacos were decent but nothing compared to some of the other taquerias I've tried. The decor was simple but functional, though it could use some updating to make the experience more enjoyable. Service was prompt, but I left feeling dissatisfied with the quality of the food overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this restaurant! I recently tried the pozole and it was amazing. It had the perfect balance of flavors and the meat melted in my mouth. The horchata was the best I've ever tasted; you can really tell it's homemade. The vibe here is chill and inviting, making it a great spot to unwind after a long day. The staff is always friendly, making you feel like family. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Passable for a quick bite but don't expect a fine dining experience. The food was satisfactory but lacked distinctive flavor—just your standard Mexican fare. Service was hit-or-miss; at times attentive and other times I felt neglected. While the pricing is acceptable for the neighborhood, I would prefer to spend my money at a place that stands out more in flavor and atmosphere. Overall, it's okay but there are better options nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited for the first time last Saturday, and I must say, it was pretty good! We tried sharing a variety of items like tacos, quesadillas, and enchiladas. Everything was flavorful, but the quesadillas were a standout. However, we had an issue with one of the orders being forgotten, and it took longer than expected to correct that. While I loved the food, the service needs a bit of tweaking to reach its full potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place. It's popular in the area and I had high hopes. The food seemed fresh, but the tacos I ordered were extremely greasy. I didn't think I would have to flip them upside down just to let the oil drain! The service was decent, but the wait for a table was longer than expected. The atmosphere was a little lacking; it felt cramped and could use some sprucing up. I may give it another go, but I'll be more cautious about what I order next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love how they offer such traditional dishes here! I had the tamales, and they transported me back to my childhood. Their authenticity shines through in the flavors. The service was top-notch; the waitstaff was very attentive and helpful. The restaurant has a warm ambiance that makes it very welcoming. I will definitely be returning soon to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fun time trying out this restaurant with my family! While the food was decent, some of the dishes could use a little more seasoning. We loved the camaraderie amongst the staff, which really enhanced the atmosphere. The overall experience was good, and I wouldn’t mind returning to explore more of their menu options.
