    Food was "Awesomely awesome at its awesomeness." Ordered a wet burrito and got a babii in an incubator. Wasn't expecting the burrito to be oh so massive! Horchata was gr8. Got 3 refills & one to go.(Maybe I was thirsty thirsty? Idk.) But overall the experience, the food and the atmosphere were enjoyable. As a trucker and tourist, I definitely recommend eating here and returning.

    Had lunch a few days ago with a co-worker. It’s been a few years since I’ve eaten here but recall very much enjoying the food. Although I recall the food being a little better before, it did not disappoint. It just might have been what I ordered. I ordered the burrito a la Diabla and my co-worker the al pastor wet burrito. My friend really enjoyed his burrito, but mine was just ok. I really expected it the be spicier and there wasn’t a lot of meat. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the food, but I do intend to go back soon as Mexican is one of my faves and they have a really good salsa bar and free chips.

    I hate to put down a small owned business but I was just not happy at all with my food. $20 for the Chile Verde breakfast plate and half of the pork in my food was almost all fat. The sauce itself tasted out of a can and not spicy at all. The best thing about the plate was the beans and rice.... I feel bummed out spending my money and only eating half of it

    Delicious. Tried the Chile relleno and cheese enchiladas; my bestie tried the shrimp cocktail and wet burrito. 10/10 appetizer salsa creeps up on you if you keep going. Junior is the best. Thanks for the amazing dinner.

    Food was delicious and all the waiters are so friendly. The place is small and it was packed but I still had a good time. Cozy vibes.

    The first time I came here the Chile Verde Burrito was really good. It had real chunks of pork, fresh, homemade tasty green salsa and quality ingredients. But now the pork/green sauce tastes like it came out of can. I'm really disappointed and unsatisfied. I was referred to this place from my co-workers here at the warehouse down the street from El Matador. I think we are going to take a break from this place for awhile.

    Small but everything is delicious. Lots of options in beers. When ordering the Michelada, you pick from their icy cold selection. Delicious

🫤 My experience the other night was great.. my experience in the day time 😬 ehh not so great. They seem like they just threw my BLT together and it’s literally bacon bits, not even full pieces of bacon. And the fries were hot, but seemed not cooked all the way through. Idk but for $12.81 would’ve exp...
