If you’re looking for true authentic Mexican flavors, this taqueria is a hidden gem! Great selection of tacos. The homemade Gorditas are a must try. The chilaquiles are absolutely amazing, a rich and flavorful salsa, and just the right amount of cheese and toppings. You can tell everything is made with care and love. The atmosphere feels welcoming and local, and the staff makes you feel right at home. Every bite takes me straight to Mexico—this place is the real deal. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates authentic food done right!

You know it is good when the locals love it! We were lucky enough to visit on Taco Tuesday to enjoy some delicious tacos! Staff are friendly. Large menu choices. Fun dessert selection.Bonus are the fresh churros.

Stopped in here on a recommendation. Grabbed an order of Quesabirria tacos with corn tortillas (on the employee's recommendation). Honestly, I'm very happy with the meal. Meat was cooked well, good amount of cheese, decent portion. The tortillas were lightly crisp with good texture. They were slightly bland, but a touch of salt really elevated them to fantastic levels. Docked a star for underseasoning, but with salt at the table, this could have been a conscious decision on their part to suit the taste of more people. So yeah, highly recommended. Just remember to pop them open when they are still hot and lightly salt them.

Pretty impressed, good food, fast service in a great small shop. The loaded quesadilla was awesome. Tres leches cake had a great light texture and taste. I’ll be back.

The food was AMAZING!!! The staff were so kind and took care of us very well!! I was just fine with spending my $50 for the amount of food that I got everything was seasoned to perfection. This was worth the 45 min drive. I will definitely be back
