“¡Qué restaurante tan encantador y delicioso! Aquí no se permiten alimentos envasados. Todo está cuidadosamente preparado con mimo e ingredientes reales. Patricia nos recibió calurosamente. Los camareros fueron atentos y serviciales incluso cuando el restaurante se cerró de golpe poco después de nuestra llegada. Es nuestro nuevo lugar al que acudir. ¡Esperamos volver pronto!”

“Great sauces, nice variety of meats. Stick to traditional Mexican dishes as the non-Mexican ones may vary in quality. I could drink a cup of their hottest hot sauce. Seating is limited and food takes a bit to cook so staff can get caught up during peak hours. A”

“I had a chicken burrito and it was one of the best burritos I've ever had. The tortilla was fresh and delicious. The sauces that came with the burrito were not too spicy, but added even more flavor. My wife got a tostada along with a side of rice and beans. She was amazed at how good all of it was, especially the beans. There was a little confusion with our order, but the server quickly remedied the situation.”

It’s very affordable, especially given the portion sizes. The focus is definitely on the food, not the atmosphere, but the space in clean. I recommend them to everyone in the fells / canyon area.”
