    Chips and salsa were very good, as was the fish taco. But the enchiladas verde and taco al pastor had no flavor. The enchiladas had lots of verde sauce and cheese with very little taste; the shredded chicken had no taste. The al pastor pork had a hint of pineapple in just one bite.

    The food is sooo flavorful! Your tastebuds will thank you! From the queso with chorizo to the sope, you can’t go wrong with apps. The seasoning on the al pastor is divine. Make sure you save room for dessert. The cheesecake-esque dish is delish!”
