“ This is a great little spot with delicious food. We happened to stop in on Taco Tuesday and were able to get super yummy street tacos for 1.75 each. I highly recommend the carne asada. We were the only ones in there and were served immediately by a friendly woman--possibly the owner?--who indulged my poor attempts to speak Spanish. The atmosphere was pretty basic, but we came here in the middle of winter so it might be nicer in the spring or summer when the patio is open. Go check it out! ”
“ Loved it and will be back for more! Not only was the food good, the experience was like earing at a grandmother's home.. The wondeful lady that greeted us took our order, we saw her cook it in the back herself, then brought it out to us and made sure we had everything we needed.. while tending to additional customers! ”
