Authentic but very underwhelming. The steak, beef tongue, and chicken taco needs more flavor. Put some Goya, Adobe, anything... Also 5 seconds on grill would help to crisp up the tortillas. The meat falls through... As you enter the building there's a visible mouse trap in the walkway. Also a old refrigerator, cobwebs, thick layers of dust, and just overall dingy on the outside heading in. It will take 20 minutes to clean that walkway. Please do it!

We usually come here and tip handsomely. We usually have gathering, but last time it was 3 of us. A family after us got their food first. Even other people were complaining how long the food took. They weren't wrong. And now our circle has pretty much the same experience. Food took over an hour and they kept saying it's going to be a little bit. They are mostly goofing around and laughing, not caring how long the wait is and there's a lot of customers waiting. Then, the food... not even hot. Cold!!! You lost a great deal of us and we order from your truck as well. We won't have you guys out on

While I previously added the pics of carnitas from the new ownership much has changed. My husband and I frequent the establishment and every visit the service and food has declined. Tonight the waitress was more interested in socializing then accommodating the guests. My steak quesadilla had minimal steak and cheese to the point it didn't even stick together. Out of the 5 pieces only three had steak. My husband ordered two tacos with a side of rice and beans. The rice and beans came out and not the tacos. It took 10 extra minutes to get two tacos of which the waitress knew she was missing

We were served rotten food. The refried beans came out luke warm and sour or fermented tasting. Ordered fajitas that had veggies that tasted rotten. Never again.
