Food is decent. But I ordered an agua fresca and they managed to accidentally serve me a margarita- I am not 21! My group's food also arrived an hour apart from first to last order, even though we all ordered within 5 min of each other.

This has been a staple for amazing fresh delicious Mexican food in Amherst for over 30 years. The new location they moved to is much bigger and can accommodate a lot more people but still the same amazing food. Everything's good try the tostada highly recommended. 👍😎👍

They have a hugh menu and although I only grabbed a margarita and some nachos I can guess most everything will be fresh.
Don't expect service since you order and pay at the counter. There is interested and outside seating. The one front of the house employee didn't ask if I needed anything else or ask how the food was. He didn't need to I guess and I'm probably just used to it. Aside from that I can't wait to try other options.
