Walking in on a quiet Saturday afternoon, I indulged in a super burrito, asada tacos, a cabeza taco, and a torta cubana, each bursting with authentic flavors that told stories of careful preparation and tradition. The al pastor burrito stood out with its rich, layered taste, while the asada tacos delivered a smoky, satisfying bite; though the cabeza taco carried a lingering aftertaste that wasn't quite to my liking, the overall experience was hearty and fulfilling. From tender, perfectly grilled meats to generous portions and nostalgic horchata, the humble yet vibrant menu offers a culinary journey that keeps me coming back for more.

Arrived on a Saturday afternoon to find the restaurant quiet, with remnants of previous diners scattered on the tables. I ordered a variety of dishes, including a super burrito, assorted tacos, a torta cubana, and refreshing beverages. The flavors were a mixed bag, with the al pastor burrito and asada tacos standing out, while the cabeza taco left a slightly unpleasant aftertaste. Despite the mixed reviews, I would return to explore more of their menu, as the location in Downtown South City offers a low-key dining experience with satisfying dishes.
