The quesabirria dinner is so GOOD! I usually prefer birria estilo Jalisco but their birria is super yummy. I believe it is birria estilo Michoacan, that's what the waitress told me. The waitresses are very nice especially the girl with the green eyes. She was so sweet. They aren't stingy with their carne for their quesadillas, all 3 of them were STUFFED! I can't speak for their consome because I typically don't eat it when I eat birria but, I LOVE their birria salsa. It's not to spicy and not to bland, the perfect in-between. I highly recommend stopping by if you are a quesabirria fan.

Served blazing hot, and tough to wait until it cools down. I got a quesadilla with steak, and only wish I was hungrier so I could have eaten more.

I love this place for takeout - some of their stuff is hit or miss but the Enchiladas Verdes are always a hit and reasonably priced. Don't really like the atmosphere for eating in but the employees are always nice. Love their refried beans.

The Steak Burrito and Horchata are my go to when I come here. Great portions and the food is delicious! This has become my go to spot for burritos. Place is always clean when you walk in. Open kitchen, so you can see how everything is stored and prepared. Service is also great, staff is warm and friendly, always greeted with a smile.

My new favorite burrito spot! Everything I’ve tried on the menu is great, but I especially love the burritos. I’ve had carne asada and el pastor and both were marinated perfectly and the burrito held together well and did not get soggy. Great portion sizes. Super fresh avocado comes with the burritos. This place slaps.

Talk about a deal. Came over here today to get some food for me and my coworker because we're in the city doing deliveries and he's not used to good food. Decided on the carne asada burritos while he was busy and they did not disappoint. The lady at the front counter was very nice and very receptive and very polite as well. The burritos turned out great especially for the price point. Highly recommended will come here again Heck I might even go out of my way.
