“ Came here on my lunch break and ordered 3 quesabirria tacos, chips and their spicy queso all online through their website. Definitely would call the food here more of a "guilty pleasure". Showed up at the given estimated time and only had to wait a couple of minutes for my order to be ready. The chips were as you'd expect, lightly seasoned. Nothing to write home about. The spicy queso was perfect, not too hot and thick and creamy. The tacos were cooked to perfection. Crispy tortilla, melty cheese and tender beef and the consomme was also a nice addition. I'll have to try their acai bowl next time. The only downside in my opinion is the pricing. If you are on a tight budget, there are more affordable options to choose from in Oswego. Albeit, not as unique or delicious. Update #2. They appeared to have a more limited selection this week due to supply issues. Again I ordered their chips and spicy queso. The queso did feel a bit spicier / hotter than the previous time I tried it. Not detrimentally so, but was a surprise. I like spicy foods. This time I did have their OG Gringo Acai bowl to provide a nice fresh and cool chaser to their spicy queso. Personally I have never had an Acai bowl before, but the fruit all tasted very fresh. The portion itself did feel like a little more than I expected, but for the price it was good. I could probably make two lunches out of the one Acai bowl unless this is just a normal portion for this type of food. Not sure. Update #3 as I tried their new Sunday breakfast menu. I ordered one of each of their breakfast tacos on the menu, and also tried the chorizo breakfast Omelette. The tacos were absolutely delicious. My friend tried the birria & chorizo taco, and I tried the potato & chorizo taco. The omelette was quite the wakeup call as well with a good amount of heat / spice for an omelette. ”
“ Finally got to try this place out and I was not disappointed. The boom boom shrimp tacos were amazing. I loved the homemade chips for 1.50 The pickled onions. 100/10 for me I will go back and try more stuff on their menu. ”
“ Best tacos I've ever had. Boom boom shrimp tacos are outstanding, my husband loves the basic tacos and they have the best queso and chips sauce. We go here once a week. I want to try other menus items, but I don't want to miss out on my boom boom shrimp taco, so we may need to start ordering extra meals to try other dishes! ”
“ I had the most perfect burrito I've had since... I don't know when. Great, big burrito, perfectly cooked steak, fresh veggies. The CONSTRUCTION of the burrito - it didn't fall apart, no matter how many breathless, attacking bites I took. Don't be cheap or anxious. Good food costs money, and you're lucky to receive it in time enough to enjoy it. ”
“ My husband and I ate here a few days ago. First ordered just for him because my mouth was still swollen from a dentist appt. We ordered online from my car in the lot and then he went up, his food was ready almost immediately. Delicious, fresh, hot food. Absolutely amazing. I've never had birria tacos so I had a bite of my husband's food and then proceeded to immediately order some for myself and send him back up. 10 out of 10 would recommend everyone try this place. You won't be disappointed. ”
“ I've gotten takeout from here several times. Always excellent!! Short wait and the food is hot, super fresh and tasty! And the people at the counter are always friendly. Highly recommend! ”
“ Great food and atmosphere. The menu is unique. ”
“ Cool little play with the best tacos I’ve had in NY. Just happened to be working down the street and need a quick lunch. Got it to go but sat on the deck. Totally worth the money (honestly was totally reasonable for the amount of shredded steak in my taco) Just go! Make sure you grab enough napkins or a towel lol Sign on the door said live music tonight (Friday). Deck is super nice. Staff was super friendly. Give you a plus one for the free water! ”
