  Way too overpriced for mid quality food, spent $42 for a burrito, tacos, and a side of rice and beans. $6 for a side of rice and beans that were filled a little less then half way. $12 for a burrito that was completely soggy and mush and extremely greasy. Never again

  Price to quality ratio is way off! My burrito was drenched in grease, yet somehow lacked in flavor. The salsas were decent, but I shouldn’t have to drench the food in salsa for it to still be overwhelmingly mid. My recommendation is to up the quality in food or adjust your prices accordingly! $3.00+ for a single small taco and then you have to add sides à la carte (there’s no taco plate). I’d expect the tacos to be bigger and a ton better for the prices being charged. P.S. $5 for a tiny cup of gauc that doesn’t come with chips is also egregious.

  Staff was nice service was fast and the place is clean. The food however mehhhh. The suadero was good one of the best ones ive had. Trompo, barbacoa, tripas, salsas all tasted off. Salsas were to salty lacked flavor, tortillas were dry. Sad I expected this place to at be at least as good a others we visit here and there

  My mother and I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The establishment is very clean, and the staff was exceptionally nice. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious. My mother ordered the barbacoa and carnitas street tacos; the portions were generous, and she loved the seasoning. I had the chicken taco salad, very yummy! The owners are super friendly. We'll be back again!

  Disappointing and overpriced for what you get. Was excited to try this new taco spot in Melissa, but our experience was very lackluster. The prices here are high across the board—the food is pricey, and the beer is definitely expensive for a casual spot. When the food arrived, we noticed they were incredibly stingy with the meat portions on the tacos, and to make matters worse, it lacked flavor. The saving grace of the entire meal was actually the side of rice and beans, which were honestly the best thing we had. It’s a bummer because the restaurant right across the street (Tias) does way better birria tacos for a better value. I’m honestly surprised management didn't do their market research on the local competition before opening up. Probably won't be back.
