My rating is for the Tacos Asada and Carbon. They are both very good and have been going here for many years for them. A very few times I have tried something different and I'm always left disappointed I didn't get the tacos. Tried the chile rellenos (soft) last visit and they were okay (the actual chilli had very little flavor) but will go back to Tacos Asada next visit. Also really like the Horchata from her in the cold metal cups (like old time milk shake blender cups). The chips & salsa are good but the salsa is usually too spicy for my taste.

This Mexican restaurant delivers a confident and satisfying expression of classic dishes, with carnitas and fajitas prepared with care and restraint. The happy hour tacos are a particular pleasure, bright, flavorful, and generously portioned. The pricing feels refreshingly honest, especially given the quality and abundance of the food. The space is warm and welcoming, complemented by service that is polished yet genuinely kind. Owners and servers move with ease and attentiveness, creating an atmosphere that invites lingering rather than rushing. The steak fajitas arrive juicy and well-seasoned, a dish that speaks for itself without unnecessary embellishment. It is the kind of place where value, flavor, and hospitality meet effortlessly.

Really amazing food, great patio and excellent service! My husband’s enchilada was perfect - best I’ve had in awhile. My steak (carbon) burrito was delish! I brought family from out of town and they loved it too! Great green chile - the burrito was smothered in. The salsa was nice and spicy!

My husband and I shared the carnitas plate and the puntas a la mexicana and both were delicious! We will definitely be back!
