August 2025
The first place in Maine that I have tasted the best Mexican food yet I don't know what the other review is talking about to salty, no just only to you. it tastes wonderful it's seasoned some people don't even know how to season and the food that I taste the most up here is not seasoned. I'm happy they have the right cheese dip the refried beans taste like the refried beans I've been tasting everything is good. thank you for being authentic. I'm on...

I think that I've eaten here about four times: lunch and dinner. The service is always very fast and the staff is courteous. I haven't eaten a lot of mexican food, so, I can't say how "authentic" it is. However, everything that I have eaten has been very good.
