“Excellent customer service & the food is SO good. My 8 year old is picky but he devoured his chicken and cheese burrito. I enjoyed the steak tacos & my husband had pupusas and chicken tacos. Of course we had to get the lime jarritos to wash it down. We ate our meal in the pavilion, it was very clean and the bathrooms were well maintained. The parking is iffy but as long as you're not a jackass, it's not a problem.“

“First and foremost the food tastes and looks fresh! I’m not from this area and was here for a band competition at the nearby high school. I’m Salvadoran and don’t see often pupusas on a menu. When I got there the lot looked empty only one car. It was about 3:30pm so I figured maybe that’s why it’s not busy. I walked in and a nice gentlemen took my order. 10 minutes later I had my food. I ordered tacos asado and pupusa revuelta with horchata. The pupusas could have had more pork but because the pupusa had other important components it didn’t matter to me. It was soft and slight crisp. Cheesy with what it tasted like some authentic cheese mixed in with mozzarella. The curtido was perfect, fresh. Tacos were just as good and the tortilla was handmade. Didn’t care too much for the red sauce because it was thicker texture BUT it still was flavourful and spicy kick. The horchata is how I like it made with morro. Overall I’m coming back later to order food to take home. Will definitely be coming back and hope to try other items on their menu.Side note this is an Honduran restaurant with Mexican food and it’s a place you shouldn’t miss out on.Sorry no photos, I devoured it. ?“

“Oh my goodness--this place has fantastic food! Wife & I just happened to be in Sanford & took a chance on this modest looking restaurant. Fantastic!! Will be driving from home in Raleigh AT LEAST once a week. As good as any we've eaten at in Texas or California. Very nice owners who do all of the cooking. Homemade corn tortillas that are the best. We love this place!“

Walked in and didn't expect it to be that good. You hear the old saying " Don't judge a book by its cover". Well even though the store looked older but the food makes up for that. Was amazing. Highly suggest getting food here. Thank me later.“

Honestly I’m blown away. This has taken the #1 Mexican spot in Sanford and it’s not even close. Congratulations to all the employees and owners. Yall did it.“
