Decent “sit down” Mexican restaurant with a neighborhood taqueria feel and setting. They offer take out or dine in (server attended) service as well. The menu is large, with various Mexican and Central American dishes such as tacos, pupusas, and some other dishes I’ve never tried! Food quality is good (similar to a taqueria), service is fast, setting and customer service could be improved a bit. The owner was nice but some of the newer staff were a little cold. Also, I wonder if this place would be better as a counter order and sit down spot - rather than having servers.
Otherwise, this is a good spot if you’re looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner and want to be attended to - rather than ordering at a counter or getting take out. Food is good for the area. I’d chose this spot if I wanted something between a taqueria and an nicer sit down restaurant. It falls somewhere in between!
Probably the best tacos in the area, but they are not very consistent. Sometimes they are perfectly delicious, other times they are just meh. They have all sorts of other dishes.
