Very friendly, everyone acknowledged and greeted us right away!. The Mexican hamburger, the Monterrey was very tasty and cooked well. My boyfriend had the birria tacos and considering that birria isn’t their specialty, I was VERY impressed, not the most amazing but very very good and the whole plate was devoured. I can’t say enough how good the vibes were, the place was clean with lots of seating. I found this place randomly and I left full and pleasantly surprised

Awesome place, the best music, you feel the the same Mexican street food culture as soon as you pull up. Especially for us Mexicans that be eating dinner at 12am like it’s no big deal, this is the spot. Don’t pass it up if you’re in the area

I love all the things i had there. Honestly i have been there twice and wanted to post some pictures of the entree but i forget to take them every time because of how good the food looks. Chago the owner was cool and i recommend everyone to try it. The food is excellent and the place is good to chill.

It’s a food truck with an overhang, and the food is really good. No non red-meat options on the menu but they were able to make a delicious vegetarian quasidilla. The salsa was amazing and spicy and the agua Fresca was also good. The service was amazing, with the people running the food truck going out of their way to make the dining experience enjoyable. They also apparently have an actual restaurant somewhere as well, and we’re exciting to try it out.

The food was overall amazing. It was not overpriced or underwhelming. I’d definitely recommend if you’d want a well priced Mexican meal. Me personally i recommend the Cuban torta. It was exceptionally delicious and filling. The service was amazing with great attentiveness and kindness. The atmosphere itself felt lively and comforting. I’d definitely come here with my family every time I’d crave a meal.
