The best milanesa plate and red posole! Happy hour margaritas, salsa bar…what more can you want?! Super nice staff. Only complaint is the parking lot has a ton of potholes, but the food makes up for it 😋.
August 2025
The food was okay but it really wasn't competitive with the other taco places around. They do have a very well stocked salsa bar that is delicious however the cups were not rinsed properly after washing and tasted like soap and I tried to communicate to the server who was very nice but she didn't seem to understand me. As far as the tacos go I got crispy tacos and the meat which was shredded beef that was put on there was not drained from the juices and the whole Taco...
August 2025
Great place, found some Mexican food that is hard to find at other Mexican food places. Ordered the Torta of asada and tostadas. Authentic flavor. Best in town! Great atmosphere, generous servings.
