    I get take out from this place like weekly. Don't judge me. It's real delicious and priced fairly. The only thing that stinks and keeps me from a 5 star review is the fact they close at like 5pm. I repeat: they close at 5pm. A restaurant. 5pm. So this isn't like a dinner spot - unless yourWeird choice there guys. I'd love to know the story behind this. Maybe don't open at 8am? Idk. People gotta live their lives I guess. The food is great and the delivery service is on point. If you're hungry for Mexican food this is your spot!!  

    Update:
    I order from Eat24 and long story short I think someone in my building swooped my order and stole it. I called the restaurant and a women, of whom I believe to be an owner/manager, was so kind in helping me try and understand what had happened. You just don't get this level of customer service these days. I cannot praise how she handled this enough because it's been hours since I ordered, I'm starving, and she was so professional and kind. This really is one of my favorite places and a total go to. Order from this place however you chose and tip the drivers well because they are busting their buns

    do not order delivery from here!
    we placed an order yesterday evening and it never arrived! if the restaurant was closed or not offering delivery then the Yelp/Grubhub platform would not have let us place the order but it did- meaning the restaurant received the order and did not notify us that they would not be making/delivering it for whatever reason. we waited over 2 + hours and never heard from the restaurant. will be taking my business elsewhere and so should you.

    Never ordering from this place again. Two thumbs down. Keeping them in my prayers that they get their act and food and manners together. They are rude and mean if you ever call them out on missing or messing up an order, or anything.
    It is an on going thing with them of messing up orders, not cooking food properly, and though cheap, not worth the head ache - look back at all past reviews, of all stating, missing orders, food not received, bland and uncooked food....you're safer going to Taco Bell. I'll oder from every other place via grubhub except for this establishment.

    I hope to see this place closed next time I drive by. I just ordered with yelp online.  The restaurant was open... my order was confirmed. After waiting 2 hours I called the restaurant only to find out they had closed and never made or delivered my food.
    To all that use yelp to order with this place, don't. They will take your money and never make food. If I see them open I will give them a piece of my mind.
    Close your doors for good if you don't want to have business. I will take my money elsewhere.

    I hate having to give a place a bad review but this place was terrible. The tacos were so dry it was almost inedible. (I am not a picky person. I'll try to eat it even if its bad but this...) I got a shrimp and pork taco. The shrimp was covered...I mean covered in sour cream. The pork was hard. Overcooked maybe? Now for the grand complaint. There were bones in the wet burrito. At first I thought it was overcooked meat again. However no. After examining and finding much more, they were definitely bones. Not just one or two but throughout the whole thing. Yes...the whole thing. Thank goodness I used a fork or I'd be missing some teeth. This whole order was over 40 dollars. Grubhub called the restaurant and they didn't want to give a refund. (I also work in a restaurant that works with grubhub. We always refund if there is an issues. However they refused. What? How?)

    Wish I took pictures. So you guys don't think I'm lying. I'm never one to leave bad reviews because I know mistakes can happen but when it is almost the entire order?  Seriously the only thing that was okay was the Rockstar energy drink. I just wasted so much money on this place. Grubhub gave me a 10 dollar voucher for my next meal. Don't order from this place. It's terrible. Seriously. If you do, check the meat. Don't break a tooth...
