“ I was craving nachos and this is the place I decided to go. First time for me and it was simply marvelous. It’s so easy to miss but so worth it! The food was made quick and it was delicious. I even had a fellow customer say that they had what I got yesterday. He had said, “it was so good.” I definitely recommend this place. Thank you Judith and the rest that makes this place so great. ”
“ This is a small hole in the wall spot next to a gas station, but do not be fooled this spot it like that! The sweetest older Hispanic lady took my order and told me everything was good and she was not lying. A must try spot and the prices are way fare. ”
“ Great food at a great price fast. We stopped here on our road trip and it was perfect. We had dogs so we sat outside on the bench under a tree. Our dogs got to roam around and we got to eat. The chicken burrito was pretty as was the torta. ”
“ Simply Top-Tier, Peak Mexican Food Ate here yesterday, came back today, and I plan on returning weekly. Just like that, a new regular is born. They know what they are doing, and they've got it all figured out. Somehow, they have shattered the "Iron Triangle" with this spot by providing top-quality food for a reasonable price and getting it to you just as quickly, if not faster than, most drive-throughs. The flautas I had yesterday were so flavorful, and the texture was a perfect crispy/soft ratio. I wish I had taken pics because the colorful sauces and fresh produce made an excellent presentation as well. Being among some of my favorite beverages, I tried the horchata and hibiscus drinks. Neither of them disappointed, I couldn't think of one example where I had better. Bro at the counter was super chill, very welcoming, helpfull and insightful. I left there in a better mood than when I came in and hadn't even tasted the food yet. The same goes for the angel who bestowed upon me the glorious bounty in which I partook in today. That beautifully thick n juicy, but not sloppy, mouthwatering piece of art torta from today left me completely satisfied and simply puts other sandwich shops to shame. It had to have been hand crafted by the angel whom I had received it from herself, thus explaining its perfection. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing out. ”
“ This place is delicious!!! You can smell the food on the outside as soon as you get out of the car. My brother recommended this place to me. Last night was my first visit!! I ordered the Birria Tacos and the Chalo fries!!! Those tacos literally melted in my mouth. They were stuffed full of cheese and meat. Most importantly the meat was so tender and flavorful!!! The fries were amazing as well! I can't believe how many times I drove past this place! Chalo will be go to place for real, tasty, authentic ,Mexican food. The prices are reasonable as well. The customer service was through the roof! Please give them a try!! ”
