Always great. This is a family favorite for us, from the fajitas to the Pollo con Crema. It’s all good. The atmosphere is good there’s authentic food, authentic atmosphere, and fast service. It’s a great Mexican place to eat in the Matthews area. This place has been here for over 25 years and there’s a reason why it still stands strong.

This Mexican Restaurant is Truly A Gem .
Welcoming Atmosphere, Great Service & Most importantly the food here is amazing! Not over priced for a restaurant that offers live music & good food portions.
Im not sure what was my favorite part of eating at this restaurant
Im stuck between the fresh guacamole cart served on a traditional mortar and the fresh handmade tortillas being prepared in the dinning area .
I can honestly recommend this...
