"Tried this little hole-in-the-wall Mexican spot and overall, the food was tasty. I ordered a steak quesadilla, and while the flavors were good, it didn't look or feel like a traditional quesadilla. The meat was labeled as steak, but it looked and tasted more like ground beef. It still had good seasoning, just not what I expected. Given that, the price felt only somewhat worth it. Still, the spot has potential and is worth a try if you're in the area and not too set on traditional presentation."

"Grab a quick bite while nearby taking care some things. Was pleasantly surprised with the food! Really enjoyed the tacos (Carne Asada - Steak, Lengua - Beef tongue & Gringa -Steak with queso & avocado) as well as the quesadilla! Yummy food and fast drive through and service with great price! Will visit again!"

"It's alright--about what you'd expect from a small taco shack. The barbacoa and lengua tacos were just okay, nothing mind-blowing, but if it's late and this is the only spot open, it'll do the trick. It's more of a drive threw place. Prices were pretty standard for tacos these days. We spent $28 for two people and got 4 tacos, 1 torta de asada, and two aguas frescas (tamarindo and horchata). The aguas frescas were actually solid--refreshing and flavorful "

"These are the best nachos ever they're so delicious and the cheese is actual natural cheese and not fake. The chips are fried there, and the meat is well done and not chewy but has a good flavor. Been going here since the dawn of time. As you can see the photo is filled with meat and the cheese is on the bottom so the chips can stay crunchy. TE AMO EL GRILL TE AMO"

"The chicken nachos, (El pollo nachos especiales), are amazing! They have fresh avocado cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and tons of chicken included, and at one point I bought them every night after work four times in a row! No lie, when I called to order the nice lady who always answers the phone, Rosa new me by name. I could eat this every day and not feel bad. There's a great amount of chicken, which is seasoned well and shredded all through the nachos. I would've never gone to this place passing by because it looks like a little shed, but do not judge the book by the cover, and underestimate how good this food is! Note: the menu is at the drive-through, but I looked at the menu on Google and called ahead. When you arrive you drive up and tell them you're picking up and just go to the window and pick up your order. I cannot speak to the people who said they had a bad customer service experience or problems dining in. Whenever I drive up, everyone in the kitchen is smiling and they speak, and have always been nice and polite. Yes, they put the salsa in a little plastic bag which is tied with a knot. I either pinch it, or pierce it with a fork and pour it over my food. (Simple)"
