New spot and wanted a steak burrito... Did not disappoint! I had the burrito with just onion and cilantro and it was AMAZING! They put the other toppings on the side and everything was super fresh and tasted like home cooking! They were nice enough to offer me chips and salsa while I waited for my food. Chips were perfect and the salsas were ridiculously good. Price is on par for other places... Food portions are perfect... Will be back!!!

The food was so delicious!! I ordered the Chicken Huaraches ( I recommend it!) and my friend got the Quesadilla de Asada. Francisco and Manny were very welcoming. We will definitely be back!

1st time visiting tonight. Order nachos + chicken, delicious, even our 5 year old loved them! Asada, pastor, and barbacoa tacos... all wonderful. Dessert available tonight was a cherry cheesecake type thing... amazing. Lastly, my favorite of the night, which I anticipated to be good, but not this good, and I mean incredible, was the pastor quesadilla. Perfect ratio of meat to cheese. Will certainly be back soon. Staff was super friendly and engaged with my 5 year old. Prices were a little high, but for the quality of the food, they're justified. What isn't pricy these days anyway. Will return and recommend to others.
