I came in to see if they got cosome and birria tacos. I got (2) asada tacos instead. I ate them before I could take a photo. Next time...birria tacos and cosome.

These carne asada fries cured my depression. 100% recommend going here. I thought Washington had no hope when it came to Mexican food (I'm from Phoenix) but this place proved me wrong!

Portions are huge. I barely finished half of this. They are quick to serve and i also like their salsas. I will come again definitely because it's so much food and they have so many options.

We felt like trying a different Mexican restaurant than we normally go to and OMG their portions are huge! the torta was almost 2lbs and the burrito was 1.7lbs... toddler hands in some of the pictures for reference. Staff is super friendly this place is a hidden gem. The bread for torta was really good. All the meats had good flavor. Definitely amazing bang for buck.

We stumbled on this place because we were planning on getting some other lunch food. Once I got here, I changed my plans and got tacos. I got adobada, lengua and tripa. This place is a solid choice if you want tacos. I'm hoping I have a chance to try other menu items.
