Amazing service in a super cool restaurant. I wish I lived closer so I could come in more often. The food was fresh and tasted great. More

Just discovered this place a few months ago & now we're regulars! Everything is amazing & cooked fresh. Carne Asade Fries are some of the best we've ever had, and their cocktails are also amazing, especially the Ay Wey Punch & the Margaritas. The service is top notch as well. More

It took me about six months after this restaurant open to actually visit it. Truthfully somebody told me that the food wasn’t good and it was over price. I should’ve never listened to that person because first off I didn’t even know them. … More

Man, we had such a blast at this joint! Me and the missus were both craving carne asada burritos enchilada style, and let me tell you, they hit the spot. Those burritos were seriously mouthwatering, like they came straight from someone's home kitchen.
And then, we couldn't resist getting some tacos. She got the pollo, I went for the pork. Those tacos were so darn good, nice and crispy, and tasted super fresh.
The staff? Super friendly folks. They made us feel right at home. It's the kind of place you want to go back to. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!" 🌮🌯👍

Wow! What a great place. The vibe was great and it had cool artwork. It was so clean we could have eaten off the floor. The staff was friendly, the portions were good and the food was delicious. If I had one complaint it would be that the music was a little too loud. This will definitely be added to my list of regular places to go for dinner.

I stopped here for a quick bite on my lunch break, I called it in while I was across the street and when I arrived there it was ready. I got 2 Carne asada street tacos and they were both extremely delicious with the mild sauce and the price was outstanding.

I have eaten Mexican food all of my life and my favorite have always been pastor tacos. This place blows every Pastor taco I have had out of the water. Their salsas are delicious and their Sopes are amazing even though I usually don’t love them. Cannot stress enough that you need to try the pastor tacos when you come as they are the best I have ever tasted, with the perfect amount of fat, crispiness and seasoning. Will be making this a regular spot

If you are in the area you definitely want to stop by for some food and drinks! The food is nothing but delicious and flavorful, the Michelada had great taste at a great price during happy hour. Customer service was definitely A+! Can’t wait to come back and try many of their authentic Mexican dishes. I had the Carne asada wet burrito, it was well proportioned with flavor in every bite. The paletas are also very good for dessert

Hidden 💎 in Southwest Phoenix... The michelada mix is on point. The open bar style selection allows you to create what you want after the order. The meat options are flavorful. It's always a nice spot to watch sports at the bar. The customer service is friendly. The día de los muertos vibe is nice. … More

To be honest, the name caught my eye while driving by it. This place is nicely tucked away in a parking lot. Once I walked inside, the atmosphere seems authentic, comfortable and inviting. The staff (two ladies, who I will ask their names when I go back), were incredibly nice and so welcoming. I placed my order and barely waited for my food. I had street tacos; I’m picky with them and I was pleasantly surprised as they were delicious: asada, al pastor and birria. My daughter, had a bean and cheese burrito and an horchata. I’m glad I took the chance to walk in. I will definitely coming back. Yes, the food is delicious (and it seems the menu will be expanding with menudo on weekends) but what got me, almost immediately, was the service.

Very good quality meat, but they don't season their food.. I had to put salt on everything. It was such good quality, I would go again in spite of the lack of seasoning. … More

Tried the birria. The meat was tender and marinated. The corn tortillas, not crisped, were ok, but not like I have had at other restaurants. The toppings were a la carte and served from behind the counter. No dipping broth on the side as I have experienced elsewhere. The service was fine but had to wait for my draft beer a little longer than expected. The place was decorated very cool with the Dia de Los Muertos feel with nice art and very clean.
I will definitely come back to try other menu items soon.
