What our guests are saying

If you are hungry, look no more! Come in for hefty quesabirria tacos. They are loaded with delicious beef, cheese and the garnishes. The dipping broth will give you the extra flavor in your mouth. Don’t skip the humongous margaritas. They are delectable. Come hungry, leave full and happy.

Flavorful food! Perfectly seasoned, spice level is perfect and manageable. I loved all the food we ordered. Definitely recommend!

Olivia Yang

Awesome Mexican food with great service too. I've been there already 3 times. Portions are with a very good size and the place is really nice too with enjoyable atmosphere. Last time we had the quesabirrias and camarones a la diabla. Definitely would recommend.

First time coming here, clean and I liked how they have two sides for seating it makes it less crowded. Had the Birria tacos and they were the best I've ever had. Waitress was very friendly too! I'll definitely be returning.
