Just wanted to leave a helpful review for others who haven't made their way here yet. As a Texan with mexican roots, I find this place to be my go to for a good fix when I don't feel like cooking. Authentic flavor that never misses! the pozole is my favorite so far.... Today I tried the tacos dorados with shredded beef, rice and beans with the Jalapeños toriados. Tasted just like home... thank you so much for keeping the authenticity❤️

Food is decent. If I get food from here I always order the chicken mole enchiladas. They are very good. I always ask for extra rice/refried beans because the amounts they give standard is not enough to eat with the 3 enchiladas. I yet to get any extra rice or beans when I ask. The only way I seem to be able to get extra is if I order an entire side of rice + an entire side of beans. If I do this I have way too much rice & beans for the meal.. so I just order elsewhere to make...

Went to eat here with my husband while visiting the Portland Maine area. The restaurant is very small, but very welcoming. We had great service and the food was overall very tasty worth the money for sure. Only complaint I had was the guacamole was clearly not made fresh and was a little tasteless. Other than that definitely worth the money and definitely worth the visit if you’re in the area come eat here they’re not going to disappoint you.
