Quality food at a reasonable price. Everything was fresh and tasted/smelled delicious. I had the Carnitas tacos. The green salsa was amazing but the red salsa was out of this world HOT. I had a swollen lip from eating some on a chip. Also, cash only! The man taking our order was so kind and I appreciate them staying open late. Go try it if you haven’t!
