Wow the red salsa is HOT!! A little warning would have been nice. Still very good salsa all together. Entree came out. We both got "street tacos" yummy. They give you 6 and you really only need 3. We took a full meal home. I expected to get sopapillas or at least asked if we wanted dessert. We didn't but still would have been nice to be asked. Food was good, not excellent but good. Service was ok. If you found this review helpful please let me know by clicking "helpful"... It helps my feelings. Thanks.

So many people rant and rave about this place so I thought I'd try it out....Definitely a no, if you've had New Mexican food anywhere else then this place is not for you, it's not even mexican food, it's what people who have never had mexican food in their life would think was mexican food. The "salsa" was like a red chile sauce that you'd put on a burrito or enchiladas, it was like they thought they did something, but really it was flop. The service was absolutely noteworthy in probably all the bad ways possible. Our waiter would answer our questions over his shoulder as he was walking off. He never offered more water or really checked on us. The green chile stew was ok enough, but The street tacos were just steak on a tortilla, not marinated, not anything special. If you're in the mood for something delicious and cozy place to eat, this is not it. Save your time, save your money.

Absolutely delicious food. I inadvertently visited on Taco Tuesday and was delighted to discover their normally $3.50 ala cart tacos were only $2.00 I ordered two ribeye, one pulled pork and one brisket taco along with a side of refried beans and a chips and guac side. It was delicious and worth every penny.
