"We have ordered from here several times and everything we've tried has been delicious. When ordering the Tacos Gringos - the "Crispy" tacos, we always ask for the fillings to be sent separately. They always accommodate and then we can crisp up the shells, and it's never soggy. I particularly like the Chancho Burrito, the meat is very flavorful. "
"Super disappointed. I ordered a burrito, a side of rice and beans, and an elote. The burrito is huge and will definitely carry me through a second and probably even third meal, and the elote was at least buttery, soft, and comforting. Unfortunately, that’s where the excitement ended. The rice was cooked well, but the only thing giving “authentic Latin yellow rice” was the color. No seasoning, no depth, no warmth. Just bland. The beans tasted like they were poured straight from a can with little done to elevate them. And the burrito? More of the same flavorless rice and beans wrapped around a dry, underseasoned chicken breast and rolled into a flour tortilla the size of my forearm. At this point, I almost want to open the whole thing up and doctor it myself with salt, pepper, pico de gallo, lime, maybe even some hot sauce just to make it enjoyable. I’m honestly shocked there wasn’t even salsa or sour cream included, because it desperately needs something to bring moisture and flavor to the dish. For the price, I genuinely feel like I could have made something far more flavorful at home for a third of the cost. If you’re looking for bold, authentic Latin flavors, this probably is not the spot. Keep looking."

"I loved the roast pork meal(pernil) this is my second time ordering it. I'm from Charleston South Carolina gonna be here till next month. I'm planning on taking back two of large pork meal,pernil back to South Carolina, but the beef empanada was pathetic. It had very little beef very bad. I'm hoping when I re-order again I guess some kind of discount or refund. If not, I would just have to go elsewhere, but the roast pork meal is good."

"I only gave this place a 2nd chance bc it was on sale but I remember why i didn't favorite this place bc of how stingy they are with their meat. My large styrofoam plate was 95% Rice and 5% protein as in 1 chicken breast. The pork ribs was the size of my pinky. There were only 4 pieces and of course, it came with a pound of rice as well. The sale is not worth it. I won't be ordering from here again."
"Burrito was piping hot when it got here, big burrito for the price, the home fries they put in it were good but needed a little salt and maybe cut into smaller pieces. Excellent cheese pull. Came with a yummy little hot sauce. Would order again!"

"Wrap was really good, it's a good size for the price and having the chipotle aioli with it is just perfect. I tried the tots instead of fries this time, but I think their fries are much better. The tots weren't that crispy, and could just be a lack of salt which they do give with the utensils but they taste okay, they were a bit oily though."
