This place has the best carnitas around. The food is great and the staff is friendly. The negative is that the service is super slow. We have been here multiple times and we have seen groups leave the restaurant after waiting a long time. This has happen more than once. If you walk in and there are more than 2 tables taken, expect to wait 40+ minutes for your food. I really hope they take the comment seriously and improve on this.

Michelle of Nana's Tamales recommended this place to us & the food is absolutely exceptional! Every dish is fresh perfection even down to the tortilla chips! The service was friendly & the waitress recommended all of their best dishes. The carnitas are definitely their specialty but the rice & beans & pickled onions were also spot on! The dining room is nice & roomy & the prices are very reasonable. You're gonna love this place! It's a hidden gem. 👍

We ordered tacos de lengua and carne asada. And it tasted like it was from the day before. not fresh at all. The salsa doesn’t taste like homemade. And the tortillas taste so Americanized. I was very disappointed.

While in town for business, my husband and I stopped in for breakfast. The restaurant small and cozy and the food is amazing. We ordered Menudo and Pozole and we were very pleased that the food tasted home made. Very delicious, we will definitely come back when we are in town.

I can’t believe it took us this long to try this place. The location is a bit tucked away but the atmosphere inside was great. Very clean and well decorated, good music. The service was excellent and the food was authentic. The quesabirria was phenomenal, asada taco was great, Canario plate left completely empty. Also they have weekend specials which is nice. We highly recommended!

Amazing flavor, background music authentic, and servicer was very easy to be distracted to accommodate others instead of finish with the customer who already been seated. And if they'd a spill on your table all will she will get it later, Because she distracted. However a young man step up to the plate and made our day!! Thx u

It's really hard to find a good place that makes carnitas, and I can tell you this really hit home when it comes to authentic Carnitas. It really reminded me of Mexico carnitas, juicy, and filled with flavor. Service was great for sure coming back and bringing more family

Service was terrible here on a couple of our handful of visits. Got our order wrong one time (forgot one of our meals). Didn’t put cheese on my beans after they forgot them. Wife found a hair in the food. Food is not as great as the other reviews claim.

So glad we found this hidden gem! The food was the best Mexican food I’ve ever eaten. I wish we would have known about it sooner.
Christian was our waiter and he was amazing! He was very welcoming and friendly. Made our dining experience even better!
We will definitely be back!
