“ loved it as always ty for being fireee. food so good i ate it before i could take pics ”
“ I would this one million stars because it's the best food in the world. The Biria is so good, I would highly recommend it ”
“ Forewarned by reviews, I knew that I had to order at the counter, so that was no problem. Then DGD and I just picked out a booth and someone brought paper napkins with silverware. I wish I had thought to ask for water; DGD got a bottle of soda & I didn't have a drink. Not a big deal, just something to know in future. I ordered 2 carnitas tacos & was very pleased with them. I only ate 1 because the order of chips & guacamole came first & I *may* have pigged out a little. ;) The carnitas were perfect: slightly crispy edges, moist and tender morsels with just the right spices. DGD loves birria, so she ordered a quesadilla, not realizing it was a combo meal. The plate was huge & filled to overflowing. I benefited from the dollop of sour cream, which she doesn't eat, just to augment the already yummy carnitas. As expected, she only ate about half of her food so there was a lot to take home. She ate some rice (it was OK, nothing special) but no beans. The dollop of guac was added to our leftover from the appy. The birria was excellent & she enjoyed some the next day. I must say, we were both impressed by the guac; it was, as she said, "Like when we make it at home!" Hearty chunks of avocado instead of blender-smooth. Fair prices & a small but adequate free parking lot. And as she also remarked, "Dad says you can tell a good Mexican restaurant if we're the only white people in it." True story. ”
“ I've been here before where I had a Godiva which was delicious. This time offspring and I had the late night munchies and tried their chicken torta. It was soo good! The bread was fresh tasting and soft the jalapeño was spicy and hit the spot. We loved it and will def stopagain SOON. ”
“ I'm overdue in updating my review, but it's needed. This place has definitely grown on me! The food somehow got better! The chips and salsa are free now, and the salsa is way better! It can be spicier than other nights depending on the ingredients, but it's always delicious. Taco Tuesday is so worth it! Just be warned, it can get crowded! But for $1.50 select tacos and pupusas, you can imagine why. The salsas continue to be flavorful and vibrant, the food is delicious and filling, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. And don't sleep on their Agua Frescas!! Refreshing!! ”
“ This place is so inconspicuous. A Mexican restaurant next to a 7-11. What are your expectations? I had none, and what I got was the best everyday Mexican food I had in MD thus far. Nothing fancy, but good fundamentals. I stop by here every time I'm nearby. You should too. ”
“ that's what I like on Taco Tuesday! They were packed full of flavor and were very filling. Excellent first time will come again! ”
“ I've decided that when I need a wife to cook for me this is where I will go. The food is fresh and the prices are reminiscent of pre-Covid times. Checked it out for a moms note out, went back with daughter, then back again with both kids. What caught my eye the first time was beef tongue tacos, beef head tacos, and a side of cactus. I don't consider this to be your Americanized Mexican restaurant. The service was great considering how busy they were with carry out orders. My second time there I thought I would try the ceviche... I'm normally not a fan of tomato bases but this ceviche was awesome for this meal and the next. Servings are hearty across the board. ”
