Came for an early lunch and this place was excellent! Quick service and food was perfectly seasoned and prepared. Amazing flavors. Enchiladas Suiza and Mole and both had plenty of sauce and meat. Margarita was excellent also.

Absolutely delicious authentic Mexican food.
Have been coming here for years before moving, and now after moving back (having been gone for 7 years) was SO GLAD to see this place still going strong.
Delicious guac. Great specials. Tortas, enchiladas, tostadas, huge burritos - you can’t go wrong with any of the food. Family friendly with a few kids meal options and they always get the kids food out quick - very important for those of us with hangry...
