"I've eaten here a couple times since it open but recently it seems like their prices changed. Which would be fine if they actually posted the price change. I ordered nachos that on the sign includes a choice of meat, but was charged separately for the meat. When I asked the lady told me that they charge for meat on items. It's disappointing because the food here is delicious but it would be nice if there was some posting stating of any change. Update: I've returned back to the restaurant and they seem to have fixed the issue."

"Literally OBSESSED with this place — I crave it daily! Every bite is packed with flavor and seriously powerful — the kind of food that wakes up your taste buds and makes you come back for more. I’ve tried nearly the whole menu and haven’t been disappointed once. The owner and employees? Absolute gems. You can feel the love and care in every detail. You seriously get a bang for your buck. And don’t even get me started on the fruit cups — they’re refreshing, vibrant, and a total must. If you haven’t been here yet, run, don’t walk. This spot is a total gem!"

"Ordered the Asada Fries and two tacos. Everything excellent. Fast service. Finished with flan and tres leches. Outstanding. Wish I had taken a picture before we finished the main course. Glad the mall has this option!"

"I ordered a pick up after work and waited a little bit past my pick up time…maybe ten minutes. No big deal!! I ordered two birria tacos and chicken nachos. Because of my wait, I was given a birria taco meal. Greatly unexpected and much appreciated. Soooo good, just what I needed today. Will be coming back for sure!!"
