Most Disliked
Some visitors note that the atmosphere might lack the charm found in more upscale Mexican dining options. A few reviews mention that during peak hours, particularly on Friday nights, the wait times can extend. Occasionally, specific dishes might run out, leaving diners disappointed if they have their heart set on a particular meal. Additionally, while the outdoor seating adds to the casual vibe, it may not be covered, which can be an issue during inclement weather.

Came after living in Texas for a couple years while visiting my hometown. These people know good Mexican food. The whole family loved it! They even make crunchy tacos... Americanized guac and Mexican style. Fill the plate, worth the prices.

I don't know why I didn't do this sooner, but these guys are the best. Whether it's breakfast burritos, rolled tacos, street tacos or my classic California with beans 😋

Delicious breakfast burrito, I got the signature destroyer breakfast burrito and it was extremely good. The hash brown in the burritos was well cooked and crisp and added another texture, very meaty and with the egg and cheese I was very happy. Both the service and food was great.
