I went here Sunday for lunch. The food and service was excellent. I had the steak and chorizo taco with rice and beans. Both tacos were filled with meat. Super good and filling. I highly recommend the apple pie. I got the dessert to go and it did not disappoint. It was the best apple pie I have ever had.

The experience and food were exceptional. I will dream about the chocolate ice cream!

This is BY FAR the best Mexican restaurant in the area!!! WOW!! Food is made with love and is way beyond the simple food at most local taco shops. The female owner/chef could not be more friendly!! Please try them out you will not be disappointed!!! Lucky to have found them!!
