I never realized this place was here. Stopped in to try this place for the first time. I had the Alambre with corn tortillas and it was pretty amazing. My wife had a quesadilla and she really enjoyed that as well. Next time we’re trying tortas and street tacos.

It was great! Food was delicious. Loved the 2 salsa options, red or green. Order, sit and enjoy your food, pay at the end. Returning customer for sure. Come support and have your own experience.

I am only in town for a couple of weeks and found this place yesterday, and today I am already back for more! The atmosphere is nice, there is A/C and they are playing 70s/80s music. I guess there's a music theme because the long table is painted with piano keys and there are music notes on others. The birria tacos with the consumme is absolutely delicious - the meat is tender and seasoned perfectly and the consumme is flavorful. The portion size for the price was sufficient. It was plated nicely. Sorry for the picture, I forgot to take it before I started eating (couldn't wait to dig in). I put sour cream on them. The service was pleasant, yet I did have to get up from the table and go up to ask for things. I will be back again before I leave town!

Small super clean order at the counter Mexican restaurant in a strip mall. Owner is super nice and helpful. Menu of items is ample. The breakfast items we ordered were very very good. We were very impressed. Highly recommend

This place is incredible! The decor is super unique with a full musical theme—guitars, violins, drums, and band instruments hanging on the walls. There’s a piano too, and music notes and cool artwork everywhere. Everything inside is spotless, including the bathroom, which is surprisingly well-decorated and extremely clean. Now the food—wow. These are hands down some of the best street tacos I’ve ever had. I’m literally writing this review mid-meal because I’m that impressed. They have 1.50 tacos on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is almost unheard of these days. I’ve been to countless taco spots all over the Dallas area for years, and this is easily one of the best. Absolute hidden gem.

Awesome food at a low price! This restaurant feels like a hole-in-the-wall since it is tucked in the corner of a strip center off Hwy 78. This was my first time dining here and Ii was blown away! Monday and Tuesday is 1.50 taco special and they were delicious! I ordered 2 pastor tacos and 1 chicken taco plus a soda for 6.50 after tax. The tacos were fully loaded with onions, cilantro and pineapple with a side of limes and a pepper. They have great hot sauces and the atmosphere is very authentic! The walls are covered in instruments and pictures. The kitchen is huge and viewable from the dining area with Tejano music blasting from the back. I can't wait to go back and try their other dishes!
