“ It's been a while and there's very few spots close to north Quincy I like for Mexican food. I would say they have all your usuals but no authentic Mexican food like tamales, enchiladas, etc. More modern, mostly popular food. Although taste wise they are above average, they are quite expensive. Trio tacos are $15 for 3, meaning $5/ea. I will say consistently they require more time as stated. You'll end up waiting an extra 10 mins or so past the stated time needed. I got take out but it's a small place with 3 small tables for seating so they could seat 10 people indoors ”
“ love this place. their birra tacos have my heart & i always get it with their tres leches cake. i told my best friend about this place and her family loves it as well as mines. must try if you're in the area! ”
“ Never dined in but always had takeout. I really enjoyed their tacos and elotes! It's a quick easy takeout choice and they're pretty quick about making the food. ”
“ It was good food and so convenient! We have always had a 20-25 minute drive to pick up take out. The salsa, guacamole and queso were fresh and flavorful. I don't think I ordered my husbands buritto correctly. He said it was dry and bland. I'll let him order the next time. I had the chicken tacos which were delicious. We will be back again! ”
