    “I see the one star reviews for this place, while I can see how somethings like that can happen, I did not experience any of those things mentioned in those reviews. I got the molcajete and everything was fresh and tasted good decently seasoned but needed some more salt and maybe lime or another citrus or freshness. My wife got the bitting tacos and said they were good as well. My aunt got a burrito which was a generous and I mean generously sized burrito, she said it was good as well. The queo was not a ball park nacho cheese (it was your typical white queso) that had chorizo in it. Our waitress was good and professional. I havent seen any additional charges after paying or on the check like the one person mentioned in their one star review. All in all, a good place for Guatemala/Mexican food. (They also serve brrakfast)”
