“Best Mexican restaurant in FWB imo. Truly authentic! Do not let the outside fool you - the inside is very nice and stylish. Food is amazing and not too salty. Service is great as well. I love their homemade chips - some of the best that I have ever had - light and not greasy. Salsa is just right as well. This restaurant puts all of the others to shame!”

“Quaint and authentic. The service was welcoming and conversational and the food was phenomenal (quesadillas, gorditos, and menudo). My granddaughter was introduced to menudo which exhibited the most tastebud tantalizing broth I’ve sipped since Texas a decade ago. She said, “this is the best Mexican restaurant ever.””
