Customer Reviews

"Food was excellent as usual. Order quickly taken and food came out in a reasonable time. Portions where nice. Only thing I don't like about this place as well as domino's is that the charge card reader forces you to pay a tip or decline it. You need to ask your employer for more money as the cashier if you need tips. I always thought tips where for waiters and not take out food places. Pretty soon McDonald's and even safeway will include this forced option."

"I had the hard shell ground beef taco and it was delicious. I have been looking for this kind of taco and I finally found what I'm looking for! If I lived closer I would have a problem! I will eat there again when I'm in town! And the salsa!!!"

"I loved this restaurant they were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was amazingly great! I got a quesadilla which was huge, you definitely get your money's worth. Also some flautas which were perfect. Chips, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole also come with the orders. Will definitely be returning and bringing friends along with me. Also service was quick enough to eat as lunch during work."

"It's hard to come across this good of Mexican food from a fast food place. I was surprised with the excellent flavor of the carne asada, and the adobada was on the spot. For a real special treat their nachos are incredible, really recommend you try this out. Service very nice."

- Robert C.

"The flan is amazing! The cheesecake is alright. The enchiladas sauce was super yummy! The burrito was huge and the flavor of the rice was good. The chicken in the burrito was tender but not as seasoned as I would like it to be. I really enjoyed the enchiladas but not after they have been warmed up in the microwave. I look forwarding to trying other items on the menu. Definitely recommend for others to try it out."

"This restaurant has been one of my families favorite restaurants for years. From the first location down on Pacheco Boulevard. To this location on Center Drive. My youngest daughter who. Is a very picky eater. We go there so she can get her favorite rice and beans and cheese quesadilla. My oldest daughter and I love the spice carrots. I have ordered many things off their menu. And have yet to come across something I did not like. Here are a few pictures of the sauce is carrots taco salad. Which by the way is my absolute favorite. And they make their own taco shell. The bean dip is amazing. I recommend trying this restaurant out."
