The exterior is a bit off-putting but don't let that discourage you. Go inside. It's very small. Only two tables which seat four each, and a few which seat two each. You'll notice that the place is very clean, and the 100 health score is prominently posted. Friendly staff will explain the menu choices and all the food is excellent. Portions aren't huge. But they are perfectly balanced and delicious. Be careful with the habanero hot sauce (the orange one) as it will regrow hair on bald men.

Parking: Parking lot asphalt is broken up and a bit awkward.

I recently tried the Quesadillas al Pastor and the beef Tostadas, and I was blown away by how delicious they were❤️‍🔥 The texture of each dish was spot-on – crispy, flavorful, and just the right balance of ingredients🤜🤛 The quesadillas had a smoky, savory taste with tender pieces of meat that melted in my mouth🫠 while the tostadas were perfectly crunchy with a rich, seasoned beef topping that brought everything together beautifully👍 Both dishes left a lasting impression, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for authentic and mouth-watering flavors❣️

Agua de jamaica and tacos were the bees knees. Really happy I stopped by here for lunch. Looking forward to coming back or possibly catering for customers in the future.

I have once again found myself in amazement that I haven’t tried a place before. This is. Without a doubt, not just the best Hispanic cuisine in Lee County. It’s some of the if not The, best I’ve ever had anywhere. The atmosphere is unique and cozy. The people who run this place are so sweet. And the food is fresh and delicious. Cannot wait to come back.
