Work provided this lunch and it was delicious! The whole team happy. The Dona Chela enchilada plate had a beautiful blend of flavors. I even loved the subtle flavors in the rice! Hoping the boss steps up and chooses this place again.

The food is pretty good and very reasonably priced! Great for lunch or take out. The staff is friendly, although, not the fastest. But for the price and taste you can't go wrong!

Ok I've been going to this place for awhile now and the food has never disappointed. However the service definitely could use some improvement. The waitresses aren't exactly the most attentive. Numerous times I've had to go up to the counter and ask for a take-out box myself because the server was no where to be seen. I usually only see my server when she takes my order and brings my food. After that it's a wrap. Great spot no doubt but definitely needs work in terms of service.

Excellent pastor tacos. Pretty sure home made tortillas, very fresh, meat was tender and flavorful and not greasy. Paired well with a green sauce. Great service. Truly a family style restaurant with real Mexican. Can get a Topo Chico prepared ! Was a slight language barrier for non Spanish speakers but did not detour from the service. Good food is good food in any language:)
