“ Freshly made chips, strong drinks, fresh ingredients all around. The tacos were phenomenal and they have plenty of different tacos to pick from.

“ My hubby and I take our daughter at least 3 times a month and we always have the best service and food. The waitresses start to recognize you and come over to say hi. I wish I remembered the name of the lady who always helps us, but last night we had Mayra who was wonderful as well. Our food is ALWAYS out in 10 minutes or less. ALWAYS. Thanks el Jefe we love you! ”
“ This was my first time visiting. We ordered the Birra Quesadilla and the Molcajete. Both were very good. The Birra had some spice to it and all of the meat was tender and juicy ”
