The worst Mexican food I have ever had. They call that carne molida picadillo, that definitely was not picadillo. My cheese enchilada was so hard I could not cut it with the fork. My tostada was completely greasy la comida no tenía nada de sazón. La Salsa parecía agua nada picoso. You say that you are from Guadalajara Jalisco then you need to get a cook that knows how to cook Mexican food. My waiter slipped me his phone number which was very unprofessional. Considering that I lived in Guadalajara the food was very disappointing. I do have to say that the people were nice that was the only good thing about it. The waiter saw that I left my complete plate of food, he should have offered to take it off of my bill. The food was horrible, the service was decent. And I still left him a good tip.

Honestly blown away. Everything was so great! The salsa, the guacamole, watermelon margarita and carne asada burrito with queso and the red sauce! Don’t forget the red sauce because it’s amazing!! Everything was SO fresh!!! I have never left a review in my LIFE but I knew I had to leave one for this restaurant. I will definitely be back!!

Excellent food. We got the special - seafood chimichanga. However, 20 bucks per person for a small town mexican restaurant is a bit expensive.

The queso and chips were very tasty too
Walked away stuffed.

On Sunday weekend I went to buy tamales, they didn't have them but they very kindly offered me very good carnitas and I also asked for warm tortillas to which the very kind young man responded that if they could heat them there 10 out of 10 very good service...

We had a great server...Yetzi... I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling. But we really enjoyed her and she really took great care of us. The goat tacos were soooo good, I'm craving them! It's definitely a must try if you are in the area. The margaritas were the best I've had in a very long time. Everything was great.

Kid-friendliness: We have a 2 year old. Usually the high chairs are sticky and gross. They had theirs clean and ready to go. We really loved this place.
