I used to love this place. Today I'm hoping was just off. Meat was dry, lacked any type of flavor. Mexico is crying about this sadness. Came with plenty of tortillas and acruitriments. Will try another day.

If I could write a whole essay about this food I would, I LOVED EVERYTHING! Horchata was sweet and refreshing unlike pop, my favorite out of the 4. Corundas - Queso/Cheese reminded me of tamales, they made it well. If you havent tried the Corundas - Queso/Cheese it kinda taste as if you mixed corn and flour and steamed it. Doesn't sound appealing but its really good. If you've had moi moi before then think of that consistency but corn. The meat in the Carnitas Taco tasted great with all the sauces and toppings on the side. The Chicharron tasted just as I thought, I've seen people hype it up on Tiktok and I was confused because I grew up eating something similar and I didnt really enjoy it. I still don't like Chicharron but I guessed it's a refined taste. Definitely eating here again. Clearly authentic Mexican food.

I really enjoyed all the food! I am from AZ so finding good Mexican food was imprtant to me. These taste just like home! My only tiny complaint was that the 1 Pound Pork Carnitas were a little salty but in a taco were fine! The Tacos Dorados: Papa/Queso (Potato/Cheese were super yummy as well. The Iced Cafe de Olla was super flavorful and good. The Frijoles Refritos were amazing
