My order was correct, delivered on time or a few minutes early and the food was excellent. I have not physically been to the restaurant but I will definitely visit and will order again. Thank you! Good stuff.

I went here for lunch on my own back in May and it was so good I had to bring my family back! The food was delicious both times and the service was great. Even when it was busy, the space wasn't too crowded or loud. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking it out and giving their special salsa a try!

Close by and an easy choice for a quick bite to eat. I loved their Elote, and their Horchata was sweet without being overly sweet. Gorditas were good, and portions and pricing were reasonable. Service was nice.

Soooo glad this place is still here!!! First tried it back in the late '00s and loved it: the special house salsa negra is amazing! Nice to see that they have a cozy little dining room before: used to be a typical hole in the wall taqueria. Great and attentive service, though it wasn't clear if I should order at the counter or the table? Don't overlook haha

Bomb tacos filled pretty well. The guacamole is tasty too. They have drinks here as well. Beer, and looks like pre mixed margaritas. The dining room is large, with tons of windows. Don't park next door in the supermarket though, you will get towed.

I ordered the 3 taco dinner and 3 tacos. The service was great. Once we sat down we were immediately greeted and handed chips and salsa. The salsa is somewhat on the spicy side so be careful! The food was so fresh. It came out within 10 minutes after we placed the order. Everything was hot and fresh and flavorful. Nothing was dry, the steak was tender and juicy. I'll definitely be returning here if I am in the area!

I have driven past this place a few times and was intrigued by the "black salsa" sign. Tonight was the night to try this place! First of all, this place is much cleaner than I expected. It looks like this place is mostly carry out, but have a nice number of tables. You get the famous black salsa for free along with some tasty tomato noodle soup. Nice start! I was mixed on the salsa, but liked that it was different than most. It's very smoky with some heat. We also got guacamole which we had to add more salt and spice which was fine, but it was fresh and colorful. We also got margaritas (strawberry and peach). I thought they were ok, but I appreciate trying different flavors. I went with the taco dinner with carne asada. I had a high bar, but thought it was good, but not great. I thought it was a little greasy, but the meat was cut perfectly. It was also a pretty fair price so I liked them. My dad got tamales which he loved. My mom got elotes which was probably the best dish. My dad isn't a big spice fan so he appreciated being able to add his own spice to his dish. The service was surprisingly good. Nice and fast too! We will be back with the whole family soon!
