This is a go-to spot for my family. Doggies are welcome in the outdoor eating area and it's kid-friendly. You can judge whether it's an authentic Mexican restaurant by their chips and salsa and this place has it down.

It’s fine. But it doesn’t fit have Heritage. So, good food and service but for no fault of its own it is not a el coyote or el compadre

Who doesn’t love this place? Best Mexican food in the area been here for years. I go to is the chicken fajita burrito enchilada style. When you order salsa ask for mild it’s way better. They have a great taco Tuesday, $3.50 for a massive taco. They know how to make rice and beans the correct way. This place is a great old school feel. Plenty of parking out back. The staff is amazing and very friendly and the food cannot be beat.

Now that I've been here and had food delivered from here a few times I think I can give a pretty good opinion. Its mostly good, but not great. Service is subpar, sadly. I saw an older couple there last time, seated next to us & the man was celebrating his birthday. His wife was up from the table when they brought his ice cream & they didn't sing. He was so sad. He even mentioned it to his wife. I want to like this place. We'll see.
