Food was fantastic very well seasoned. The desserts are absolutely delicious. I would’ve taken a picture of the cheesecake and the chocolate pie with the cookies on the outside but we ate them Too quickly for a

Service can be a bit slow, but this is quite literally some of the best food I’ve ever had.

It's been quite a few years since I have been here, and I understand they have changed owners in the meantime. Today's lunch was nothing short of exceptional. The service was super friendly, the chips and salsa amazing, the tamales were some of the best I've had, and the tacos were fantastic. Th chicken tamales with green sauce were addicting. When you next come here, try these. A slight kick, but the flavor is wonderful. The red tamales were also good - nice and earthy! As for tacos, I had the following: Cabeza Taco (cow cheek), Tripa Dorado (crispy fried tripe), and Tripa Taco. Quite excellent, all around, but my favorite were the tripa tacos. I can't wait to go back, which is different from where I was when I left many years ago. This new owner is bringing some amazing flavors to Tallahassee.

Really enjoyed dining here while visiting Tallahassee! Truly understand why guys leaving when we were coming in said "best in Tallahassee" when I asked if food was good! Shared the salsa, yuca frita, Mexican guacamole Appel, then steak and chicken fajitas! Could NOT stop eating the salsa, it was sooo fresh and addicting! yuca frita was my try something new! The Yuca was cut and fried like fries and the Jalapeno Aioli was super tasty! I'm not a spice person and loved the tiny jalapeno kick of the dipping sauce. Mexican guac definitely fresh and on point! Only complaint about the chicken and steak fajitas, more meat please! Both chicken and steak super flavorful! Service was great and our server was super sweet, respectful and extremely knowledgeable about menu items when I asked a million questions. Love the space and wish it has been a little less windy to sit outside! Wish you had a location in Atlanta! Will definitely visit again if in Tallahassee! Thank you, thank you, Thank you! Back home now craving your salsa!

The server was a great kid. Very nice and polite. Would always say ladies first when serving my girlfriend. Unfortunately the food was just awful. I think maybe a little under staffed so be prepared for a wait.

These are tacos, get the Tacos Carnitas and Tacos Cabeza (best ever had). Tacos Birria are great too, and wash it down with Chelada (the home made version with XX, not Budweiser ;)

Small place very quaint. Server was great and attentive. The food was hit or miss. Salsa was good with a nice spicy kick. Rice was seasoned well, delicious. My plantains were burnt so sent them back. Chicken and shrimp Fajitas not bad but little dry. You had to ask for lettuce and sour cream but had to pay for spoonful of Guacamole so I declined. My Son did not like his birria beef tacos, he said lacked flavor sent it back.Parking: Parking lot is down below which doesn't serve well on rainy days.

Service was slow, but the food made up for it. Will return for more authentic Mexican dishes

I ordered two items a la carte. The mushroom quesadilla was good, but the elote was completely mediocre (read boiled to death). And the service was unapologetically abysmal. They could not manage to get food to three of us at the table at one time, and I still didn't have the guacamole I ordered for the chips when I finished my dinner. First and last visit.
