    While it may not be the "hole-in-the-wall" you're looking for, the food is authentic and the meal time rush backs up the quality.

    I'm not sure if this qualifies for authentic Mexican street food, but it's levels above all of those Mexican food places that get you to forget how bad the food is with cheap margaritas.

    My favorite to order are the lengua, tripas, and carnitas. Take your pick in a taco, burrito or torta and all that really changes are quantity, cost, and delivery method.

    If I could change one thing, it would be a larger cup for the agua de horchata. Too small! It's not even enough for one person, really. I often buy two just for myself and that's just not fair :(

    Let see where did I begin, when we talked in there was no one there. We ordered 3 tacos and a breakfast burrito. We waited forever for our food. They seemed to be ran by newbies. We had to go check to make they didn't forgot about us. The kitchen seemed fluttered, no type of communication. The guy was rude and seemed clueless. Asked if we wanted our money back, um no we are hungry and waited this long. Tons of family standing around in the kitchen area looking clueless. A guy with an Afro with no hair net on in the back kitchen area. 35 mins later and we finally got our food. YAY!! And then the food was mediocre, like really!!

    Note to worker when customer is placing order: let us know the wait time of the food since you guys take so much online orders and it backs up the kitchen.
    I under everything is fresh but really we had 3 tiny steak tacos and a breakfast burrito. It shouldn't have taken that long.
    I could have decided not to wait and this all could of been avoided.
    Positive of it all: it was only $10 so super cheap eats so maybe I shouldn't have expected so much!

    The end of my rant: try it out but ask the wait time.

    The food is good and salsa is hot but it took 45 minutes to get 5 tacos and some nachos. They weren't that busy and everyone's food took that long. Unacceptable.

    I was really excited to try this place since I saw it had good reviews on yelp. We went in late this morning and ordered 3 breakfast burritos to go and it took about 40 minutes. There was only one other person waiting ahead of us so I don't understand why it took so long. The people who arrived after us got there food before us so it was a little irritating to have to wait that long.The burritos were pretty good. We ordered 2 carnitas and 1 sausage. Green Chile costs 60 cents extra which isn't bad. I probably wouldn't come back because of the wait, but if you don't mind waiting a long time and want a good breakfast burrito I would recommend this place.

    I haven't been back for a bit, but have just been reminded what a gem I have been missing out on. I love the family that runs this mom and pop shop. You can really taste the spirit they put into making your tacos for you. They just renovated this place and there's plenty of seating areas for you to sit and enjoy the meal here. I want to return to try their burritos, but haven't been able to get myself to not order the tacos. The tacos are $1.50 ($2.00 for Lengua) and are served hot. I usually eat four street tacos at other places, but these ladies gave me two good size tacos that that's all I needed. To be fair, I wasn't starving, but the portion is awesome. If you guys are nearby, come check them out!
