We travel all over the USA by RV. We have had Mexican food in all 48 continental states. This was THE BEST that we have had anywhere. Every Mexican restaurant says they are authentic, this place really is. Don't miss trying their salsa, we actually tried to buy a quart to bring home, but the owner just gave it to us free. What great food and service. This will be on our list of restaurants to come back to EVERY time we are anywhere close by.

Great tacos - tried chorizo, carnitas and pastor and all were delicious. The lightly pickled carrots were a nice treat. Refreshing flor de jamaica agua fresca too.

Stopped by with my family for a quick bite and it was totally worth it. Ordered 4 Asada Tacos and they were BOMB. I regret not buying more. I wish I lived closer I'd be eating out every weekend.

Stopped here after a hike in Pinnacles. The tacos were unreal. We had the chorizo, pastor, and carnitas. All were outstanding. The carrots and peppers that came on the side were also a surprise delight. The jamaica agua fresca paired perfectly.

For over the counter Mexican food there is not much more that you want. Counter service, excellent food! This place is fresh, food was so tasteful. The Burrito is huge, great, good flavors came with a side of grilled onions, pickled carrots, and grilled chili peppers. The tostada Carne asada was so flavorful it was spicy but the flavors were so perfect together. The cassadia was built up with so many layers of flavor. Do not expect fine dining here. The tables are mismatched, the paintings on the wall are 3d reliefs with sculpture images of the sea. Large cardboard cutouts blocked a storage room of sorts. Be prepared for a mouthwatering meal of flavor. It is spicy. It is so good. The place was clean and amazing food had by all. Family of 4 ate lunch for under 30. What a delightful meal and fun! Such great lunch!

I am a foodie and I eat here every day! Can you imagine? That’s how good it is. And the prices are so reasonable. High standards for food cleanliness/preparation. There was a comment here about someone seeing a hair in their food. I have worked a lot professionally in food service. I have probably eaten 100 meals here and never had anything presented that was less than absolutely spotless and extremely sanitary. I am mostly a vegetarian and what I get is an order of beans and rice and four handmade corn tortillas. I also asked for their special salsa which they make custom which has green sauce and avocado. All the plates pretty much come with roasted onions and peppers, also perfect carrots. I have also had the carne asada, chicken, and shrimp. Once I got a quesadilla with carne asada and it was so much food! They also have beer and a variety of bottled authentic Mexican beverages. Of course it’s a family place and you basically sit down to a meal you would eat any fine home. Aside from all of this they are the nicest people, all of them work there. Congratulations everybody!

This place is pretty amazing. 5 burritos, did I just step into a time machine? I did the cabeza (beef cheek meat) and it is melt in your mouth tender and full of beef flavor. The adobada (marinated pork) tacos were well spiced and seasoned. A hint of cloves? As someone that puts cinnamon and cloves in chili, the aromatic kick was greatly appreciated. Its little details like this that make a good taco into a top tier one. Lengua taco was also decent. Tacos were served with grilled onion and jalapeno on side along with some pickled carrots. Nice bonuses. Anyways if you live or work in Greenfield and have bot been here, give it a shot. Definitely a cafeteria set up so not for dates but for a quick lunch, or an evening watching soccer on their big screen and enjoying some cheap beer and eats this is a great spot. Or order take out. I stop here everytime I visit Greenfield and have never been disappointed! For those with gluten intolerance, order a burrito sin tortilla como un plato for a plate of rice, beans, lettuce and meat of your choice.

Was looking for authentic Hispanic cuisine and stumbled upon this place. Their salsa was made fresh with thick pieces of avocado for chips and dip. Their super burrito, is just that, super big and reasonably priced at 5 dollars. I ordered the carne asada soft tacos which I then put the salsa on, superb. Will definitely eat there again.
