“ 10.20.24 This is my first time eating here. We went through the drive through. Service was friendly and fast. The food is amazing. Meat is tender and flavorful. They give you the option of corn or flour tortillas and I swear they're homemade. The salsa is delicious. It has cilantro but does not taste like soap. Chips were fresh. The guacamole was even good and I don't usually like guacamole. This is my new favorite spot. ”
“ When ordering ask to make sure they have the item before paying for it. I ordered 2 cheesecakes and paid for them, then they tell me they are out of it. The only dessert they had was tres leches cake . I am not a fan. ”
