I had the sornora carnitas. It was amazingšŸ˜ and my friend had the tacos. Chicken and shredded beef. They were juicy and delicious šŸ˜‹ and the shells stayed crunchy. The starting salsa and chips were very good. I would recommend trying this place. I'm sure I'll be backšŸ˜

Loved the seafood enchiladas and the supreme carne asada nachos were good. The fresh chips and salas are delicious and liked the decorations inside.

I donā€™t recommend getting margaritas. My orange margarita was pretty good but I couldnā€™t taste the tequila and it was $17
