I love the food and the people there. They go above and beyond to give you a good experience. I would be devastated if they closed.

My spouse and I had a late lunch here today and it was amazing! Our server was very friendly and attentive. This is the best Mexican food in the area. I had quesabirria and it was full of flavor and very tender with delicious consume. The chips and salsa are the best I have had at any restaurant. The chips are thick and crunchy and the salsa is amazing. Some say it is spicy, but I definitely think it's mild (but I do eat rather spicy food regularly so others may not be used to any spice?). Do not drive by this little gem on College Ave.! Stop in and order some of the best Mexican dishes in the Metro East!

I went 2/22 for happy hour. Just me and my boyfriend and I got ONE flight and three plates the bill was 77.00 and I took it to her and said I’ve never been charged that much. The older lady was very rude but said okay they must’ve left someone order on here and said she would fix it. When I left I checked to see if she fixed it and she only had taken $6 off. I’ll never return again and I been a regular customer. Check your bill!

The food was delicious and so was the pear beer! We ordered carryout but it was delayed when we got there, so we had a beer while we waited.

So called in an order, that was never placed. Employee from kitchen walking around scratching and coughing. Got a discount on the beers we drank waiting for order to be prepared. Meal cost me 55 bucks and I'm worried to eat it.

I usually love this place because it’s the most authentic place I can find in town, especially because I’m Hispanic. I always bring my family when they are visiting, but unfortunately I had a bad experience with the owner. He overcharged me and instead of apologizing or correcting the mistake he said there was nothing he can do. I will definitely not be returning. I would rather drive 20 minutes away than dealing with this! At end of the day I don’t care about the money it’s the principle of the matter.Update: He is a liar we didn’t even leave the parking lot I opened up my order to make sure everything was there my kids and husband were in the car it didn’t even took me a minute to realize my order was wrong so no sir I was never dishonest u are just a liar why would I do something like that I I’m a customer that always comes and eats even ur staff knows me that’s how much we support ur restaurant , We ordered 3 carne asada tacos, 3 Alpastro tacos and a side of rice and beans and it came out to $31.16 but then u overcharged me $6 more which wasn’t right because she did charge me for the beans and rice and u said she didn’t how I said idc about the money at all but how I said u guys just lost a costumer and I will definitely be telling my friends and family to never got their again!

The absolute worst Mexican Food I've had around here. Food was wrong, wrongly mad, cold ,non appealing, I where near worth the money I spent. I'm shocked at this mess..
