I drove by on a route I don't normally take and smelled the food and turned around. I ordered 2 tacos. Asada and pastor with cilantro onion. I've been in Aurora 10 years and sampled a few dozen nearby restaurants and this one definitely hits the top 3 for me. The flavor was definitely number one for pastor. I have to return and get a full meal to really give a proper review but if 2 tacos blows me away I will certainly be back. The woman who served me didn't speak much English, but that's not her fault. I'm probably the minority customer. Great for family dinners or quick lunches.

Just a great little place for delicious, authentic Mexican food, highly recommended. Take note before you pay that (at least when we visited) they're offering a discount for cash and applying a surcharge on credit cards. Understandable with the charges and I appreciate the discount, but good to know ahead so you can bring cash.

First off, the menu offered a lot, included some mariscos and I think I even saw some Breakfast items. Prices were cheap as a taco dinner and a steak burrito went for 11 with tax. The steak burrito had some weight to it and was very good! Burrito was more minced steak than anything, also had some big chunks of tomatoes inside. No complaints on the taco dinner either.

We've been there about 30 times. Good food, good prices, very friendly but just-OK service. I like it because it's the real deal....the closest thing to a trip to Mexico without actually going there. With all of the perfection and imperfections that go along with that.

The food is very good. Most people go to the bar so if you want to sit down in the dining room it's pretty much empty

The food was great! I've been looking in my area for a place that has good/real Al Pastor. We had Asada and Al Pastor tacos, and I had an Al Pastor burrito. Both were very good, but I prefer the Al Pastor. I ordered Al Pastor from El Famous Burrito the other day and got shredded pork. Not here. You get a really nice pineapple flavor and the meat is juicy and tender. Will be ordering here again!
