"Order the Al Vapor, Dorados, and Chicharron. It is the trifecta of greatness. (The chimichangas is a fried roll of happiness)"

"Love the tacos- have never had steamed tacos before I came here."
"A cute little place with some tacos al vapor aka “steamed tacos” that I’ve never tried before. We ordered the combination which comes with taco al vapor, chimi, and dorado. We also ordered an extra taco al vapor. Tacos al vapor are a traditional Mexican style believed to have originated in central Mexico, where filled tortillas are steamed with a filling that’s usually some sort of meat, bean, and potato combination. The corn tortillas are served here with the toppings, and the steamed method keeps everything soft and moist. I couldn’t quite make out the meat but the filling definitely had some of that with beans and potatoes. The toppings included lettuce, tomato, and cheese for some brightness and we squeezed some limes to add acidity to the dish. A unique experience for us! You can find a seat in one of the booths and the serve will come to you. For Mother’s Day, he kindly gave me a rose. Super thoughtful!"
"Tacos al vapor are the real deal. Very delicious and unique"
"I will always give you five stars, but in the reviews all you exactly how it is my experience. When I walked in, they asked me what I want to eat. I asked him if I can see a menu first. I got the combo with the tacos, vapor tacos and two chimichangas. The chimis were ok. Unfortunately, it was $18 with no drink no beans no rice. I thought this was extremely expensive. Unfortunately, the menu has no prices so I have no idea a quick bite will be so much. This place has been here for a while. Maybe it’s just not my type of style or food but a lot of people do love this place."
