We popped in here, desperately trying to escape the cold and willing to pay to be warm.

Blah blah car trouble blah blah my mom is coming to pick us up and (according to my grandparents) has never taken less than 3 hours to get anywhere. Deadly cold.

By the time we found this place, I was ready to kiss and warm spot.

We ordered and sat down.

Two chile relleno tacos and a burrito ran us 27 dollars-- which seemed crazy expensive.
There were no prices on the menu (which is all over the walls.)

Both dishes were good and someone brought a small pile of chips and a little salsa. This was also

Witnessed the cashier attempt to steal money from an elderly person. She was trying to cash in her $20 lotto ticket but the cashier argued with her, stating it was only worth $1. It got sorted out and the elderly woman got her money but imagine how many people they have robbed from.

Too expensive for what you get!, they gone over board on prices. They are not even a great restaurant. I used to come here and I thought it was already to pricey!

Good place
I got in love at first time with the cashier girl. It's one way love cause she doesn't know me.
Great experience to see someone love it

Smaller than it's sister store nearby, but the quality and freshness of the produce and meats are top notch.
Also the deli coleslaw is strangely perfect. Like Secret Recipe perfect

The waitress pretended to take my order. She refused to write down it even though I said it twice. I ordered a horchata she completely ignored me. If I would give it a half of a star I would. I waited 40 minutes for my plate. I ordered one thing.

I really recommend these Supermarkets they always have fresh things and the meat is great, you may find different cuts of meat or ask for them. Sometimes it's work the extra few cents.

The food is amazing however the staff (Jasmine) is very rude and Ignorant to their customers.

I placed an order for myself and coworkers today though Grubhub. The delivery was fine but I was missing food. I immediately called the restaurant to let them know. The lady who answered the phone Jasmine asked if we could have the Grubhub driver come back. I told her no that he has already left. Besides I don't feel that it is my responsibility to have to pay for another driver since it was the restaurants fault. Then some man got on the phone and said he would deliver the food so I gave

With their operation, this store that I have always been to continually amazed me. In the cashier area, they had a proper line for their customers. They helped senior citizens really well, actually. All the workers were friendly and attentive. Keep it up!

I love, love, love this place!!! I come here all the time and am never disappointed. It's one of the best places to eat in the area. I've tried several of their dishes and everything is amazing. Beware when you come on weekends for lunch because it's always guaranteed to be full. Their pozole and menudo is the best!!! Also their gorditas are amazing!!! The service is always super friendly and on point! This is a must visit!

I've been here few times, the food is better then the service. Don't get me wrong the waitresses are nice but I can literally dehydrate waiting for them to top me off on water or coffee....they serve and pretty much forget that you're at the table. Yes I understand the tables are full but at least remember to just swing by and see if your tables need anything....I waited to review them since I enjoy the food but I think from now on I'll take it to go then wait for them to follow up

I've been going here since the mid-90's

My favorite pico de gallo (better than what I've had in Mexico even). Great al pastor, great gorditas, great carne asada, great milanesa. And being one of the few white customers there for years, they treated me very well.

They cook right in front of you, my favorite cook seems to have disappeared, but he was always excellent and gave me a warm hello. The staff always made me feel welcome.

One day a new young girl about 18 years old was working the register. I speak good enough Spanish to order food and deal with restaurant stuff. I
