I had some of the best hot/green sauce here! What is not seen here are the margaritas, frozen & on the rocks, both were pretty good. All the food was pretty tasty & the service was good. I also loved the Mexican rap music they were playing, the soccer on the tv, and all the decor.

I stayed across the road from this spot for about a month but was probably there almost every night. The food, staff and atmosphere were 10/10. I'm from the UK but these guys treated me like family. Hands down the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life. I totally recommend the Virgin Hibiscus Water, Pina Colado too. Food wise, you can't miss with the Birria Tacos and the Shrimp Tacos. The churros go crazy too. This is my go to spot from now on whenever I come back to the BK! Only downside is that they don't deliver to London

This is a phenomenal restaurant. The service is incredible. The shrimp quesadilla are some of the best I've had, I cleaned my plate. Even the rice and beans seemed better than anywhere else I've been. I got my plate of food while at the bar and I didn't have utensils. After I asked, they felt bad I didn't have them and gave me a drink to apologize which wasn't needed but showed they care a lot about their customers. I'd absolutely recommend or come back here.
