Real Talk
"Great food great prices! My tacos are always made how I request them and well seasoned! Love this place."
"My god, everything was amazing. 10/10 the best Quesa Birrias I've ever had but the consume was a bit too loose and oily for my liking. The Super Burrito was huge but it doesn't come with sour cream, cheese, and guacamole which is crazy for the price. The Torta was really good."
"First time ever leaving review but this place is fire. Asada, carnitas and a pastor are all consistent and great. The super burrito is absolutely ridiculous in size and price and amazing. The only recommendation I can say is for nachos to have an option of putting another meat!! Some carnitas fries would be insane"
