The menu runs to 33 dishes, with Barbacoa among the offerings alongside tacos, picadas, burritos, and pupusas, and red and green salsas served with chips, the red hot and the green milder.

Customer Review Summary

Tacos are the main draw at this restaurant tucked into the back of a Mexican grocery store, and the barbacoa taco is the one a reviewer names as a favorite, with goat, pork with pineapple, and Mexican sausage also praised. Close behind are the picadas, pupusas, and a burrito one diner found so stuffed they had too much food. Reviewers describe the flavors as authentic, traditional, and homemade rather than "americanized," and call the sauces great, noting the red sauce for the chips is really hot while the green is milder. Several say it is not fancy but was kept clean, and one calls it a great dive. An ice and sweets counter serves elote and fresh fruit with spices, and the attached tienda gets a look for dessert and groceries. The main complaint is parking, which one reviewer calls challenging, and the place is very busy, though the line moves fast. One reviewer also bought a cazuela there and was happy with it.

    “I've been here several times and the food is great. They are very busy, but the line moves fast. I personally like all the food, but the Mexican sausage on tacos is really tasty. All their sauces are great. The red sauce for the chips is really hot, but the green one is milder (but still hot). Parking can be challenging.”
