Don't Miss

Quesabirria Tacos

Their signature dish where corn tortillas get dipped in beef consommé before being prepared quesadilla-style. The tender, smoky beef comes with fresh cilantro and onions, plus that incredible consommé for dipping.

Fresh Pressed Corn Tortillas

They press and fry corn tortillas fresh throughout the day, creating these amazing puffy tortillas that taste completely different from anything pre-made. You can actually watch them make these in the kitchen.

Massive Chimichangas

These things are honestly too big for one person - we've never seen anyone finish a whole one. Crispy outside, perfectly seasoned filling inside, and they come with all the fixings.

Fresh-Squeezed Margaritas

No artificial mixes here - they use fresh-squeezed lime juice and quality tequila. The difference is obvious from the first sip, and they're strong enough to share if you're driving.

Daily-Made Salsas

They make their salsas fresh every day in-house, and you can taste the difference. The spicy salsa comes with a tiny spoon because they know it packs heat, and the mild version has perfect chunky texture.

Molcajete Bowls

Traditional lava rock bowls that keep your food hot throughout the entire meal. They're not just for show - the volcanic rock actually adds to the presentation and keeps everything at the right temperature.
