We love this place! My parents eat here once a week. The carintas, horchata, birria tacos, queso, all of it has been fantastic. The portions are amazing, the sauces and food super flavorful, and the horchata just so tasty and comforting.

My Dad and I went here for his birthday lunch. It was so good!! I love horchata, and I'm glad they had sides of the fried plantains, because they're super tasty.

We had lunch here and it was great! I had the burrito bowl with birria and it was delish!! We were passing through New Castle and live about an hour away but we all agreed that this place is a do over and we will definitely drive the hour just to eat here again! The service was great and everyone was so friendly! Highly recommend!

Love this place! Definitely a gem for New Castle. The tacos are the best I’ve had since living in Texas. General food quality is top notch and the staff are super friendly and always remember us. Order a jumbo margarita and relax!

I like the food the only thing is when I pay for the chips and queso it is a very small little cup of queso to go with the chips. I am very disappointed with this as I go anywhere else I get a bigger portion of queso and don't pay for that with my meal and I accept paying for it because that is usually all I eat and get very little of the queso like a small ice cream scoop cup. I will have to quit going unless they up the amount if that is a meal.

I tried a peach margarita, the fresh guacamole, a steak chorizo, a chicken chorizo, a pork, a brisket, and a shrimp taco. I finished with the flan. (Judge another day! I went to eat, drink, and be merry! ?) This place did not disappoint, and we are sad it's an hour away from us! This is the best Mexican food I have ever had, and I am wondering how the tiny town of New Castle got so lucky to score this joint! The ingredients are all great quality and fresh (I was very pleased with the fresh pineapple in the pork taco!) The peach margarita was amazing, as well. The flan was good, and that whipped cream on the side tasted home made! It is hard to choose a favorite! For me, it's a toss-up between the pork and the brisket tacos! My bf said it was the best lengua taco he has had. Our least favorite was the shrimp taco, but it's still good. My bf and I both give this place ? ? ? ? ?
