I drove down 45 minutes from Miami to try their tacos. The drive was worth it. We were greeted and sat really quickly (on a Saturday). My husband and I ordered the family platter of 12 tacos. The tacos were sooo good. The tortillas felt like they were freshly made. The waiters were super nice and they do everything so quickly but efficiently. I would recommend this place for sure.

The service was amazing, they were super nice and so patient when I couldn't decide what to get i will say though, the pig intestine was not well cooked, but we all (3 people) enjoyed the food, got full, and even had two full collective boxes of food!

We weren’t actually planning on coming to lunch here, but the sushi restaurant in the mall was closed so we settled on here. I love Mexican cuisine so I was happy to come to eat here. The waitress told us to sit wherever we wanted to. She brought us a basket of chips and salsa. I ordered the Trio Trepa. I wanted it with shrimp, but the waitress said they can’t do shrimp for it. So I did it with chicken instead. My daughter ordered the chicken tenders and French fries. My plate was huge! It turned into three or four meals! My daughter ate all of her chicken tenders except some of the breading. They were a little overly breaded. I like the condiment bar. But only one person can serve themselves at a time there and there was a guy up there when I got my food and I wanted to go up and add some toppings to my plate. He was filling up about 8 little cups and just looking around. After waiting a few minutes I asked him if he was done since he was just looking. He said he wasn’t, but He let me in to grab my stuff. By the time we left around 2pm the restaurant there weren’t any open tables. The waitress was nice. I would return.

Just great food..I have only eaten Tacos here...Lots of Tacos....too many Tacos...thank goodness for Planet Fitness..!!! Because they are soooo damn good. Not the tex-mex Tacos...filled with shredded lettuce and cheese. And you are looking and asking " Where is the meat"..? These Tacos are all meat. That's what you ordered..just a corn tortilla and meat. That's how it should be. And an awesome salsa bar. Pickled Jalapeños, pickled onions..lime, lemon.. Great food, great prices given the " all meat" filling. Staff is friendly. Service is outstanding. Highly recommend.
