Tacos were great, they don't have queso if that's what you're looking for. They give you black beans as an appetizer and the salsa is spicy.

I've always seen this spot in passing and finally got to try it. I was seated immediately upon entering and was brought a cup of black beans and tray of toppings. My waiter was attentive and customer service was good. I decided to order the guacamole + chips and the 4 tacos (chicken + beef). I really enjoyed the tacos and being able to control what I placed on top. The sauces provided were good as you had mild and spicy version. My only complaint is that the guacamole could've had more to it. It was just mashed avocados. I had to add extra salt for flavoring. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here and would return to try out of items.

Great location off Lemmon. They offer inside and outside seating The service is very good and the food was fresh and hot and a very large portion. The sampler I got was $15.99 which is very reasonable. The waitress kept checking in to make sure I was good and the atmosphere was casual. I would recommend this location.

Not only excellent menudo, the customer service is top notch also! I called to make sure they had menudo left (it sells out quickly on Sundays--the only day it's sold). I was told that there was 1 order left, so I said I would be there to pick up in 5 minutes. Upon arrival, I was told that it was sold out, and I shared my story about the phone call. They apologized and reiterated that they were sold out. I sat in my car and searched for another place that sold Menudo nearby when I heard a knock on my window. It was the manager who came out and said "I'm sorry it was our fault and I will give you what we have remaining (which was about a bowl), and I will also give you a gift card for a future visit."He came back out with the Menudo and a gift card a few minutes later! I tipped him and drove off happy. The Menudo was delicious, and I am very pleased that the manager handled this with kindness and great service. I will definitely be a returning customer, as I have been for the past several years. Thank you to the manager and staff there!

UPDATE: I only just noticed the$2 charge for "open food". I don't know what it's for. Maybe it was my coffee refill? It's off-putting enough to knock a star off my review. I wish they were more transparent. I'd still go back, but I'd double check the receipt before leaving. ORIGINAL: Came in after an early morning flight on Christmas Eve. I was craving breakfast tacos near Love Field and I'm so glad we came in here. Our server, Jovanny, was top tier. The food was ready quickly and well seasoned. Okie Bill for breakfast for 2 came to about $35. My only negative point is the difficulty with the menu if you're vegetarian. I got breakfast tacos with papas and the botana with hongos/mushrooms. The black bean soup does have meat in it so heads up to vegetarians and vegans. Ultimately, I was able to have a great meal and great service during a day and time that might usually be rough to get both. I'm happy.

Good place for tacos! Service was very friendly and fast. I ordered the Parrillada which was a combo of 4 tacos, cheese quesadilla, cebollitas, and some guacamole. I also ordered an appetizer of cebollitas. They also bring out a caddy of 2 salsas, onions, cilantro, and lime. Perfect! The salsa verde was my favorite! The tacos were all good (steak, chicken, pork chop, and Al pastor). The steak and Al pastor were my favorites. The cheese quesadilla (bite size) was really good also! I didn't really like the cebollitas appetizer. They were marinated in what tasted like Braggs Amino Acid (like soy sauce) that I didn't care for. Overall a great meal! Can't get over how friendly and on-point the staff was.
