I’ve had several DoorDash pickups here each time it just smelled so good I had to try it out. Finally sat down for a meal here with the family and we were very impressed. Going to be a new frequent spot for us! Bonus, my daughter and I swooned over the Churros, so good! More

We were driving to some other place, but noticed this restaurant and thought we might give it a shot. First thing I noticed was there was no friendly welcome, no smiles and a lot of staring at us. Not sure if they've ever seen a Middle … More

Came here specifically to check out their Birria tacos. Overall I would summarize them as seemingly plain tacos with a deep fried tortilla with no real flavor. The meat in tacos tasted good, but it was plain with no signs it had been … More

Absolutely delicious! One of the best tacos I've had in Syracuse, I can't believe I didn't come here sooner. The margarita was large and delicious. The rice and beans were a bit underwhelming and lacking flavor, but the birria tacos made up for it. Their house salsa is also very tasty. More
