" A mixed bag here. The food tasted good, but my order was incorrect and had some items missing. The staff did apologize and offered a small discount, which was appreciated, but it still put a sour note on the experience. The quality of the food kept me from getting too frustrated, but I hope their order accuracy improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy solid Mexican cuisine without the frills. The tacos al pastor were incredible and packed with flavor! The staff was friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them. A little tip: try their horchata, it’s fantastic! I will definitely be returning on taco Tuesday! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my meal here. The tacos were enormous, each one bursting with flavor! The toppings were fresh and well-prepared. The only downside was that it was a bit crowded, which made finding a seat harder, but the food made it worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)
