Looks rough on the outside, go through the back door. Authentic food! Everything was delicious!
Great prices and food, our server was very nice and helpful
First time at this place its atmosphere was ok not the best. As far as food and drinks they were delicous! I had oysters, agua chile tostada and 2 tripa tacos. The michelada hit the spot. I give them a 4 because of service was a little at first and the atmoshere. For a small family owed business this as good as it gets!
At first we thought this place was sketchy due to the area but service was amazing, very nice ladies and the food was delicious!
Ordered the taco ,all were good. Will be going back.
Was not expecting this good of food to come out of a restaurant like this. Very unassuming location but wow. Will definitely be going back to try more dishes. The asada burrito I had and the shrimp tacos my wife were amazing.
