"Went here today for the first time. I ordered the carnitas burrito and it was delicious! I was surprised to see they sold Turkish treats. I bought an order of Turkish delights and the owner even included an extra piece. Very great service. You can tell the owner really cares about his customers and the quality of his food. Great flavors! Will definitely come again!! :)"

"Love the vibe of this cute little corner place; the artisan decor is inspiring. I got the huarache al pastor—YUM! Very authentic flavors. Guy's got the sazon. The owner is such a nice person; Really cool how he blends Turkish & Mexican culture with the baklava, Turkish delight, and coffee. Coming back next time we're at the mall!!!:)"

"An exceptional gastronomic experience! This Mexican restaurant has managed to capture the essence and authentic flavor of Mexico in every dish. From the first bite, I was impressed by the quality and freshness of the ingredients, as well as by the skill with which traditional Mexican flavors are combined. I highly recommend trying their tacos, quesadillas, huarache and especially their sopes they are simply delicious!. This place has definitely become one of my favorites for authentic Mexican cuisine."

"I had their tinga burrito and it was delicious. Tasted very homemade— and filling! I think it’s great they also sell (I believe) Turkish treats. Their baklava was tasty. The owner even offered me a Turkish coffee on the house. Extremely pleased with the overall service."

"I didn’t expect much from a food court restaurant, but I was blown away. The mulitas were so good, as were the tacos. Homemade tortillas and salsa were absolutely incredible. The owner was very kind and helpful, and the baklava dessert was delicious too. All the food is homemade and you can really tell. I don’t really leave reviews often, but the owner was so nice and you could tell he really cares about his customers enjoying their food. I’ll be coming back anytime I’m in the area."
