Ohhhh boy was I in for a treat when I walked into this place, don’t be fooled by a it’s dated demeanour, this place is fantastic if you want some amazing Taco that’s reasonably priced. They also have great drinks and yummy side dishes! Thank goodness I live close by, so I can eat here regularly. Would recommend 9/10!

Habitual drive-thru user so I wouldn't know about the atmosphere but the food is delicious, especially the tortas.

This was my first time visiting this place and it was rather good. The place was clean, the service at first was slow when it came to taking our order, but the food was quickly served. We ordered a Burrito, Quesadilla which were both really good. The toppings were fairly fresh. We also ordered tacos, but those were lacking. They weren’t as delicious as the other items ordered. Over all, I still give it 5 stars, because it was all done just in time to satisfy our appetite.

Pastor burrito every time. Tender cuts of pork, perfect marinade. Tortilla likely home made because it tastes like Mama's. Homemade chips are among best I've had, though guacamole order a bit pricey for amount you get.
