    The sweet pork barbacoa is the best! Taco Tuesdays! It was my first time and I tried the chicken, beef and pork tacos, and the sweet pork wins HANDS DOWN! Must try! :)

    I got the sweet pork Burrito, enchilada style and loved it. The place almost feels like if your neighborhood Mexican restaurant opened a fast casual restaurant. Also. My wife loved the guacamole!

    Sweet pork tacos are my favorite (especially on $1.75 Taco Tuesdays) followed closely by pork tamales (only on Thursdays). The chicken or steak salads are also delicious and very filling!

    Spicy pork burrito with the hot salsa isn’t too spicy and has a lot of flavor.

    Their barbacoa is amazing! Also highly recommend the horchata (cinnamon rice drink). They also have flavored syrups you can add to your soda!

    Refill your cup with sweet creamy horchata at the beverage bar for dessert.

    Apparently they changed the rules for the frequent diner card. They will only stamp your card for purchases of $10 or more now.

    Stop singing the nacho-man song and double check the order. guaranteed they will get the order wrong. Salads come without dressing, sides are forgotten.

    If they spent less time singing and more time checking people out they'd have a gods honest chance of serving people hot food

    Don't do it. You will definitely barf after. That sickly sweet sauce might be a liquified pixie stick but it has NOTHING to do with Mexican food.

    The chicken tacos are okay, but the meat ones are good. They're no District Taco, but they do have horchata! Mmmm...
