I eat here frequently and always get great service and great food. I love their chorizo burritos and all the tacos. They have the best salsa around, the only place w spicy salsa. Please come here and spend your money, but don't tell anyone or stay for long. I don't like modern people and this place is usually empty, just how I like it

The tacos here are so good!!! They are always so nice and kind as well. We usually call ahead for our orders and they always accommodate. I do not understand why they are rated so low. this place is great for Taco Tuesdays ( & Wednesday's)! One time, we had to wait a while but it was the day before a holiday! My dad was thoroughly enjoying watching soccer on the TV.

Who is this "Jeff"??!! OK, so I ordered a carnitas burrito from here recently and it was amazing and delicious. But today I tried "Jeff's Especial Burrito" and I just need to know who Jeff is? Because this is one of the best burritos I have ever had in my mouth. If the ingredients sound even remotely appetizing to you, I say order this burrito now and don't change a thing. Also, I need to meet Jeff. He may have a new stan. This burrito tho!!!

Tried El Gordito Mexican Food as we were in the area! Customer service was great, decoration and food felt authentic! We got carne asada fries and beef flautas! Very tasty along with their salsa!

Wow! Cheese and green chile tamales! Rare, isn't it? Most Mexican food restaurants only offer pork, chicken or beef. I try to eat vegan but do slide to vegetarian. I know... vegan friends, try not to hate me. The tamale was yummy as was their beans and rice. I ordered delivery so have no idea what this place looks like inside. I received my order quickly and as usual, delivery was in time.

I just had a really delicious carnitas taco and chili relleno combo! The carnitas taco had generous helping shredded carnitas... crispy on part of edge, tender with excellent flavor! The chili relleno was also fantastic and generous, loved it! The gentleman running the restaurant was multitasking and very nice, happy and humble smile when I complemented him on the food. Definitely hope people try it! Not a fancy dinner place, but sure tastes so much better than many 3x the price!
