I really enjoyed the Shredded Beef Burrito dinner. Tasty. Service is minimal. They don't speak a lot of English, but the food is tasty and reasonably priced. If you live in the neighborhood, it's worth a visit for yourself.

Absolutely wonderful authentic Mexican restaurant with very reasonable prices, real silverware, quality service, and delicious food with generous portions. The staff were all in a good mood. Please note that some staff including wait staff may not speak English, so be prepared to use some of the Spanish you learned, bring along a friend that knows some Spanish, and/or be prepared with sufficient patience and tools to work out the translations with the waitress.

Very good Mexican restaurant on South Blvd. It is family owned and they are always happy to see me when I go. They bring you fresh house made salsas and tortilla chips when you first sit down.
They handle all of the basic Mexican dishes very well. They also have authentic tacos and specials as well.
They have beer and a full bar to boot and even put Margaritas on special some days. I have always received fast and efficient service here. The ambiance is decent...
