This is the best Mexican Food in the area. Up until recently the best place we had found so far was in Texas. When you can hear the sound of metal striking the flat grill you know the food is going to be the best you’ve had in a very long time. I had chicken fajitas and everything was fresh, veggies were crisp. We also had the Carnitas Gomez from their signature menu. I can hardly describe the melt in your mouth flavor they capture in this dish, but you can tell it has not been sitting in a warmer until we arrived. Fresh, hot, and fantastic. The dishes might arrive at different times but this allows each one to arrive without sitting in a warmer losing its freshness. If you’re looking for something different and you enjoy “flavor” then you have to come here! I cannot say enough great things about this place, so just try it yourself.

Simple, clean decor. Even the bathroom was very clean. Good service.The standard salsa was not very good. There was an unpleasant seasoning that threw the flavor off. My husband asked and got an x-spicey salsa that he liked better but was too hot for me. He had a chicken and beef burrito and liked it fine. I was not so lucky. I had chicken Verde enchiladas with beans and rice. The chicken had a distinct canned taste, with a little fishy undertone. The Verde sauce tasted like Hernandez brand, which wasn't terrible. Some jalapeños and sour cream helped. Overall it didn't taste like a single fresh ingredient was used in my meal. I've rated this on my husband's experience, not mine.

The Food and Service was very good, had the Lunch Fajitas, and had a Taco and Enchilada, to go. The chips and sauce, choice of mild or hot, were served upon arrival and all dishes were served with rice and beans, the to-go containers were smartly packaged, in a foil container, and still hot upon getting home. Very friendly staff!

Had the Chimichanga special for $11.99. Pretty good, portion was a bit small.

Me and my husband went there and was skeptical because the place was empty. We were the only customers in the place. We decided to stay and we were happy that we did. The food was so good and the portions were huge. Chips and Salsa are important and their chips were flavorful and warm not cold. The salsa was great. The staff was friendly and attentive. Do not judge a book by the cover because you will miss what’s inside.

Food was very good and the service was great. They were at the table refilling chips before we even needed to ask. The food is very authentic..we had a large group and everyone enjoyed thier food. I would go back again.
