I have to many good things to say about this place. The food is excellent, I've had half of their menu. Service is outstanding. The building is unassuming, slightly dull bit the food makes up for it 100 fold. My choice for best Mexican food in St. Joseph County. You'll also find that the portions are large; chips and salsa that far exceeds average, and the coveted Torta (10/10). You may be able to find them elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find one better than this.
I decided to order food to go for carry out and am choosing to believe this must be an off day. The sauce for my tamales was a bit scorched to the point that I could smell it outside of the package. One of the tamales I could've even eat because it was that bad. I went to start chewing and spit out the burnt tamale. If it had not been it would have been a near perfect tamale. My tostada was average with an insane amount of cheese. I don't think I've ever seen this much cheese on a Mexican dish in my life, that was suppose to be authentic. Perhaps in the future I'll give them a chance with dine in, but as a first time customer this was unacceptable.

The food is good. The queso is the best around. The only thing that is disappointing is the cheese on the taco but it's still good

Not my absolutely favorite Mexican restaurant, but very good and very fast! Was one of my go-to lunches or dinners while I worked at Skynet! Try their green salsa for a little extra punch!

The best most authentic food on this side of town! Best rice, pico, and carne asada! If you want great service and great Mexican food then this is the place. Flautas are great too. Their food is always fresh! For those of you that don't like Hacienda because you know real Mexican food then go to La Esperanza!
This unassuming slice of heaven is right next to the venerated Nick's Patio. It has all the staples of Mexican restaurants plus some amazing surprises like house-made Salsa that has a little more kick to it than most other salsas. The portions are great, the food is made to order fast, and everything is delicious! Plenty of different beers and alcoholic beverages plus a good music channel to help set the mood. Definitely making this place one my regular stops for those nights when cooking at home just won't cut it!
