“Shrimp tacos were our favorite. Also, we really like the Beria and the fried fish We also loved the nachos and even better was the drink of the day which was pineapple Fresca so, so good. Service was very good. I think our server was Alicia, but I could have the name wrong. She was a young girl,and she was very wonderful and she had her hair in a bun. The only thing that could possibly improve is having may be a little less spicy salsa or pico for the people who don’t like too much spice. Wonderful seafood, can’t wait to try more dishes.“

“If you want to eat real Mexican food, this is the place to go. This is the real deal. The tortillas are handmade, all the food is made from scratch, and it is authentic. I've had the Carne asada burritos and the Carnitas burritos and tacos and they are all delicious. One of my favorite things to eat here is the beef stew called Caldo the Rez. The service is good and they even have a little market next-door so you can buy some real Mexican, kind of hard to find,items. They also have some really yummy Agua Fresca.“

“What a nice and quaint little gem for quick Mexican food. The interior is clean with a cute layout. The food was prepared in the open kitchen, which you can see over the cashier shoulder. The food was not bad at all, the rice could use a little more seasoning/salt, but over all not bad. Definitely give this place a try, and be turned off by unkempt strip mall.“
