Came here on a Friday night and it was BUSY! Even though I ordered ahead online, I still waited for a good while in the store as well; maybe 15-20 minutes. I got the quesabirria plate, tacos (al pastor and carne asada), and chicken tamale. I was also debating the tlayuda, super nachos, and quesadilla, so I'll have to come back for those another time. After trying everything, I would happily come back for the tacos al pastor! They were incredible, with fresh pineapple, and well seasoned and tender pork. The interior of the restaurant was lively and vibrant but they seemed to be more of a to-go kind of place. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

Great spot to get tacos and caribbean sandwiches! Taco shells are fried but not too crispy, we tried al pastor & fish & carne asada tacos. Al pastor was our favorite, others also very good however. We also got the Puerquito valiente pork sandwich, which was excellent and nearly as good as places like Paseo and Un bien. It had a LOT of grilled onions in it, which i liked, and the pork is very tasty. Only small complaint is there were some big fat chunks that I did have to pick out. The La Mula and Al pastor sandwiches are awesome, can't go wrong with these two.

I didn't go inside so I can't speak for the ambiance hut the tacos were great. They taste just like street tacos but there is 1 ingredient in there that separates it but I can't quite call what it is. I had the steak ones and enjoyed them. The last time when we tried the chicken my family and I weren't really fans but the steak is great. Also 2 tacos is enough for me as an adult. I was complaining that my hubby only got me 2 so I asked for 1 more and didn't even end up eating it

Ordered a few sandwiches for my sisters and tacos for myself, we couldn't get enough, they loved the sandwich with pineapple and cheese, while I had the shrimp and chicken tacos both were amazing. I loved the sauce on the chicken sandwich and my sisters straight devoured the massive onions and asada in their sandwiches. Service is quick, just order and pay at the counter, the dining area is small probably fits 20 ppl but it's very relaxed. Come thru, they're absolutely wonderful!

Came in to check this place out while waiting for my tires to be done at the Discount Tires next door. Upon entry, there was a woman cashier, maybe late 40's. She wasn't very friendly. Ordered the Al Pastor sandwich which is displayed at $11.99. She asked if I wanted cheese, I said sure why not. What she doesn't say is that it's $2.50 for Swiss cheese on it. Machine for credit cards asks for 15% tip, 20% or 25% (give or take) but no custom edit for the tip amount. Without wanting to feel guilty, I did 15%. Even though it's counter service and you grab your food at the counter. There's a salsa bar which is nice. The Dark red salsa that has a 5* label is fantastic on the sandwich. The pink pickled onions are also great. The Al Pastor sandwich is amazing. Great bread, ton of pork, nice grilled onions. Superb! Definitely not something to eat if you want your hands to remain clean. Didn't really notice the $2.50 price gouging Swiss cheese in it. The cheese does nothing. So $11.99 sandwich, $2.50 cheese, tax and 15% tip, comes out to a little over $18 for a sandwich that's not a sit down restaurant, is kinda steep. Doesn't come with any sides either. I'd come back again because the sandwich is really good, just no luxury cheese this time...

Fire food alert! So good! Easy to get in and order. Took next to no time for the meal. 12:15pm ordered and was to me in 10 min. Clean spot no food all over the ground. The order taker was nice and recommended other dishes to me. Answered my questions with a smile. Its being added to my restaurant list(good food,good people,good ambiance) Coke could be a little more fresh seeing as its in the bottle. Still was good. Normally there is that KICK on the first sip. Not so much

I was in the area and really wanted to try the sandwich that rivals Paseos. My husband and I shared a Puerquito Valiente sandwich because we didn't have a huge appetite. Cut in half it was definitely enough food for both of us to have lunch. I'm so glad that we tried this hole in the wall because the sandwich was delicious! You can tell the pork was marinated for some time because it was rich and flavorful. It was literally dripping with juices. A very messy sandwich so don't eat it in the car! In fact you might want a fork for all the drippings. The onions and jalapeños on the sandwich were excellent additions and cooked just right. The Perfect crunch, oily and provided a nice tang. It made all the textures in the sandwich pair really well. I can't wait to come back and enjoy the shrimp sandwich or some birria tacos. And of course I'll bring a bigger appetite that time.
