If you want authentic Mexican food this is the place for you. Great food, large plates.
Authentic Mexican food friendly service
This was my first time eating here and it was delicious. Nice and fresh. My server, Valerie was amazing. She was on top of us making sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend coming to eat. The only thing is the address listed in Google is not correct. It's in the same shopping center just further down. There is a sign outside. I had tacitos with fresh queso, lettuce abd avocado.
Had the burrito, it was good and really big
best food in budget
Food was amazing; service was slow but outstanding and pleasant. Would like to complement the Chef(s). Their combination of flavors was superb

To the owner: I have been coming here since 2018, this new wait staff needs to be trained or replace they are dragging your business down. I walk in no one even acknowledges me, Its like they try to avoid eye contact. I ask " Could I be seated?" She looks at me annoyed asks me to wait and comes back after a minute or so. She then walks me to my table that had dirty dishes and she removes the dishes and places my menu. I ask " Will you wipe the table?" She looks at me then walks away (never got wiped down) I let it go. I place my order, She clearly wasnt listening, I repeat myself and she still forgot things. She checks on almost every table but mine. I start to wonder if its a racial thing because I was the only black person. She drops the food off and run off before I am able to ask for anything. She forgot my drink. At the end I go to pay and that was the ONLY time the entire night they were nice to me because thats when I write the tip, I chose not to. I used to be a waitress myself, I tipEVERYONE but this is the one chose not to. These waitresses are going to drag your business down. Food was excellent as always though

The food is delicious, the wait and the price are worth it. I hope to visit this place in person soon.
Some of the best barbacoa meat in the area. Tried their birria tacos and it was good too. Most of their meats are cooked and marinated well. To finish it off their churro and flan were amazingly good too. All in all a place that I would return to without hesitation for some good local Mexican food

Authentic hole in the wall Mexican eatery & reasonably priced. We often dine in & also take out, the food usually will be ready within 15 minutes. Taco Tuesday special is $1.50 from 3:00-6:00 pm. Our favorites are the huge Burrito, Tacos, Tortas & Pollo ala Plancha.
