Delicious food everytime!!! Have been here a few times now & it’s always great. Came back tonight after driving around downtown forever couldn’t find any open parking garages on a Saturday, so came to the west side & they got us food quickly! Yummy drinks too!

The Birria Tacos were fantastic! Loved the dipping sauce. I didn’t see the horchata on the menu until after I was done eating so I will have to go back for that and some dessert 😋

A group of 8 of us went on a Friday night. Prompt and excellent service. Our server Jodie was nice and attentive. I ordered the Tacos Dorados el Camaron. Everyone at our table had nothing but good things to say about their food. This place has a huge menu with unique dishes you don't see often, particularly in Lansing, where most Mexican food seems very familiar regardless of where you eat.
