I will start by saying that the food was good and was well priced. The deals they have are really good for their menu! The restaurant was not empty but it certainly was not busy. Few people at the bar but it seemed to be family of the restaurant owners. Walking in it was fine until I sat at a table. I was greeted by the server “Lyle” and offered water which was great. We didn’t get any alcohol drinks and his tone and attitude changed suddenly. We didn’t get asked our order until maybe 10-15 minutes after. I got 4 tacos and my friend got the combination #1 and asked if the cheese could be removed off the tamales, to which Lyle seemed annoyed by that request. While waiting on our food, we happened to notice the music of the restaurant was very high and loud, and it was not actual music but radio advertising and it was just too loud that we couldn’t hear our conversation. Lyle brought out food and asked if there was anything else we needed, I noticed the tacos didn’t come with limes and neither of the tables had any hot sauces to use. So I asked him to bring limes and a hot sauce or some salsa for the tacos. He reacted like it was an inconvenience to get limes and salsa for our food. Overall I felt like an inconvenience and a bother to eat there rather than a guest or a customer even. I don’t know if I will come back if he is there.

Very friendly staff and answered any questions we had. Very clean. Wonderful food (Steak Azteca) and tacos are really tasty. Have TVs for sports and for a bit if festiveness (Yule log). They have daily specials like Monday 1/2 Marg and $3 carnita/tinga tacos, Tuesday and Thursday is $3 taco days, Wednesday can get a beer and Torta for $10, and so on. Happy Hour is 3pm to 7pm. They have a full bar to enjoy. Brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday 10AM to 2PM. Happy hour all day on Sunday. I absolutely 💯 recommend. *Update* I did takeout and it went smoothly and the staff again were really great.

Got the smothered carne asada burrito, pastor and chorizo taco. Chips and salsa was a menu item, not included. There’re better taco places which include chips and salsa. Chorizo taco tasted off, had to send it back for another pastor. Food was 3/5 nothing spectacular. The burrito was decent 4/5. The margarita was small, and not very strong. My girl finished her drink half way through and she usually takes forever. Tacos were pricey if you don’t come on T/TR but they didn’t skimp the meat. Atmosphere was good. TVs with live sports and good decor. Decorated for christmas. Service was good he checked back in every now and then.

Decent tacos were lit the best but good customer service and clean. If you are craving some decent tacos then it’s not to bad but at almost $5 a taco would expect more flavor. A street taco stand would taste better and it would be cheaper.
