One of my most favorite Mexican restaurants. The food is fresh, great salsa , guac and chips. It's not the watered down type of guac. And the salsa has this roasted flavor that's unique with a bit of a bite. I look forward to this especially. The beef taquitos are the best, so flavorful. Crunchy tacos are very good too and the pork chili Verde is another go to for me. The beans are so delicious. Service is attentive and kind. The only issue I've had...

Ice cold cervesa and excellent seafood enchiladas.

Vegetarian options: Cheese and onion enchiladas. Vegetable fajitas etc.

Kid-friendliness: Easy seating
October 2024
Plates were way way too hot. Temperature wise. The waitress was a little slow but friendly. I had not gone here in a few years. I remember the food being very tasty. Maybe the chef went to work next door at Don Antonio's Mexican food. Food seems to take longer to get to you. It's probably from all the phone/App orders.

Parking: Parking seems to be limited in the back to about 4-5 cars now because they added a patio area in the back because of COVID....
