I love their carnitas and onions mixed with jalapeños. They just need to make sure they cook enough onions because a majority of the time they have the jalapeños but no onions left

Yes, I agree food was tasty. But I will no longer go. As I was in line I was looking down, cant believe what I saw, two large cockroaches. Never again I would go. Report it, person at the register didnt care.

I have never had problems with this store and maybe it sounds silly .. but this new way of charging (New technology) the cashier was literally seeing how I was typing my password for my debit card, also the customer who was waiting behind watching how I was typing it . Horrible will never return

Yesterday I went for carnitas and I looked at a lot of tummies and cueritos and I brought them and what was my surprise they were very sweet they passed as sweet I dont know if coca or what and the very dirty tummies inside and outside we all threw them and I also bought stuffed chiles and that has a very strong flour flavor I think they put too much of it I liked to go for food a lot the carnitas are very tasty but I think they no longer cook them, like they cooked them in the Chinese style

Mexican food in the United States !, the food is good although if you would like to try the true seasoning of Mexican food this is not the place, however its food is rich with a little extra fat but it is delicious.

Jo
Review №95

The food is very good, the Michoacáno bread very rich, the chicharrones and the very fresh carnitas. They have many Mexican products, the parking is very wide, but it is a bit expensive, just for that reason I dont give it the 5 stars! !
