“There are a lot of great Mexican restaurants in the area, but this one is the best I’ve ever been to! Food is phenomenal with big portions. Chips and salsa are delicious and plentiful! Food served quickly, even when it’s crowded. My favorite is the Hawaiian Fajitas - out of this world!!

The service is fantastic. The decor is handcrafted, amazing and very interesting. Overall, I just can’t recommend this place highly enough!“

“This place is actually authentic. The papusas are great! They make the tortillas fresh. The chicken in the tacos was super overcooked, but it could have just been a one time thing. It was good food. They have all you can eat tacos on Tuesday. I told the waitress that is what I wanted, then she charged me individually for the tacos when we got the receipt. 🤷🏻‍♀“
