My first visit. Really impressed with the tasty flavor of authentic Mexican food. This is going to be my favorite place to eat from now on. They are very friendly and the place is very clean. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place used to be me and my family's go to Mexican restaurant. For whatever reason we haven't been as often in the last several years. I think this was the first time I've been there in about 2. And the food was just okay. Maybe the cooks changed. Maybe the owners changed. But whatever it is, the food isn't quite as good as it used to be. And you can tell because their restaurant was absolutely empty aside from me. There's just so many other good options...

Ordered the two enchiladas combo (one chicken one beef) and a Don Nono both were good. I think I rank the carne asada here better than Cotixan but not as good as Vallarta. I might have been starving but the enchiladas were excellent to me. The beans and rice we the standard Mexican fair and it was good. The Corn cake was interesting and sweet, worth trying. The Horchata was just fine.

I think the big benefits to this place over Vallarta is there is a place...
