Drove past several times and finally decided to try it. After one visit, it is now our favorite Mexican restaurant. Atmosphere is fun. Service was excellent. Food was outstanding. Prices were VERY reasonable. I had the Chimichunga El Carbon with steak. My wife had a combo enchilada and taco dinner. The most authentic and flavorful we've ever had. Highly recommended. We will be regulars.

The food was extremely delicious, the tortillas were like having dinner at a grandma’s house but in a Cousy restaurant. Go visit them, you won’t regret! It was just simply delicious. Great plate presentation, and Zaira give us a great service, 5 starts place.

This food is the BEST most authentic Mexican food we've had since moving here from Colorado. We've never had a bad plate or something that we disliked. The owner is so sweet and truly cares about the food and the people.
