By far the best Mexican restaurant around. Best shrimp tacos and refried beans I’ve had. The owner Eduardo does amazing catering as well—he’ll do anything, not just Mexican food. We use him at the local schools staff meals and he is affordable, accommodating, and most importantly everyone always raves about the food.

I ordered a large side of rice and beans, and when I asked for hot sauce, I was charged for a large portion. I only wanted a tiny, regular side of green hot sauce, so I’m baffled by the extra charge. I won’t be returning. What Mexican restaurant charges for a tiny side of hot sauce?
