Soup • Meat • Cheese • Mexican


"We ordered a few things from here and was very excited, but I must say it was just OK. It's probably the best Mexican food around, but that's not saying much... I don't like giving low reviews and I tried really hard to find reasons to give it 4 stars, but I couldn't and I definitely felt that three stars was enough. The meat tacos were so so, nothing special for more than 2 dollars. the meat was ok, maybe the quality wasn't the best, it was definitely not bad, but it was dry and flavorless. 2. Burritos are huge, absolutely huge... I'm sure this Southern population wants a bigger size for their Burritos, as they definitely care more about quantity than quality throughout the South. And for me there was definitely a lack of quality!! The Beef Burrito Supreme was huge like Chipotle, but definitely with lower quality ingredients. In my opinion, as a cook, I would reduce the quantity by 30% and focus more on flavor/quality. 3. The Vegetarian Burrito had less than 5 spoons of rice and beans. I mean, you're charging the same price as a regular Burrito, we also ordered WITHOUT cheese and they didn't add extra beans or rice on top of the already very small amount they put in the first place. How and why would you do this? The beef burrito and the chicken burrito had so much rice and beans that it was too much. 4. The Birria tacos were delicious, I wish I had this instead of the meat tacos, I only had one because it's never been here before. I will come back one more time and try the more authentic items served only on the weekends to see how it goes. positive thing Coca Cola Mexicana half a liter in a glass bottle, and it's great! I wish this place good luck and hope to see its success, but I feel like they definitely need to make some improvements. This is still probably a 4/5 star spot for someone local who has never had real Mexican food!"
