This restaurant is vacant and has been closed for two or three months, according to the restaurant next door. But, they remain on Doordash, which is how I learned ordering pickup, the hard way. But, they actually charged my credit card, and I believe the "owners" are scamming Doordash customers. I am waiting for Doordash to respond to my complaint.

Couldn't be more impressed! The elote loco and papusas literally changed my life.

Papusas were really good. I’m happy that I’ve finally found a restaurant in town that sells these. I definitely recommend eating here and the tacos looked tasty also. I will be back to try more food. The prices are great also!

Delicious and authentic food! We ate lunch right when they opened on a Saturday and had the place to ourselves. I ordered esquites and two empanadas, one chicken and one beef. My husband had the mixed torta which came with fries and then we split some fried plantains. They were out of esquites but offered elote instead, which was fine by me! The empanadas were crispy and flavorful, my husband was really impressed with his sandwich, and we both enjoyed dipping our plantains in grated cheese, which I had never seen before. To top it all off, they have yummy horchata. Wish we had a place like this in the Prattville area, but we’d gladly drive back to eat there again. :)

If you're looking for good authentic food this place is a must. I had the caldo de res and it was really good. Bowl was big and it came with tortillas. Very filling and perfect for a cool day. My husband and father in law had the grill chicken breast and they both enjoyed it all. My mother in law had the skirt steak and she loved it. They had a kids menu as well . My kids opted for chicken tenders and dries and cheese quesadilla with fries. My group also had smoothies and agua fresca. We all enjoyed our meal. Great location with parking and great staff.

I would give 5 but would feel it would be right considering my next statement. So let me star by saying the foor is off the chain. Not only is the food great but it's cheap to. My only complaint is when you ask for water they charge you $3 when the menu say $1.50.

Food is great price isn't bad until you ask for water to drink then they charge $3 for a bottle of water when the menu says a $1

We’ve been blessed with an amazing restaurant that not only has great prices, taste, and service but also has a unique taste compared to other restaurants in the Auburn/Opelika area. I would 100% recommend! I’ve attached photos of the wonderful food that I have received from this great restaurant.

Really disappointed in this place I had really high hopes. I'm not sure if I'll try it again. I liked their menu for the authenticity but the food was flavorless. I also didn't like that prices weren't clearly marked and there seemed to be a discrepancy in listed prices vs what you are charged. I ordered 2 empanadas($5) rice and beans($3) should have been 880 I was charged $10 and change. There seems to be a lot of miscommunication because you don't really know what you're ordering if you ordering multiple items. There was a lady before me who didn't get what she thought she ordered. I speak spanish so it wasn't an issue for me but I could see the two customers before me where having trouble. It takes REALLY long to get orders out, so take note if your only on a quick lunch break. Maybe calling in would be best. THE do door dash so that may resolve all those issues right there. I order chicken empanadas and rice and beans. One empanada was over fried the insides fell out and it was tough like chicken jerky. The second one was fine but as I already said little flavor. Rice and beans ok but not much seasoning. Maybe if Mexican food is typically too spicy, too seasoned or too flavorful this might suit you. For me it was a miss...
