Seek Only Truth

Think twice before going here, your orders won't be correct, and they over charge for items in your order .Well I tried to give this place a second chance but sadly very disappointed. When we placed our Order inside, we were looked at like we were from Mars. There was someone who spoke Spanish with us , but that still didn't matter , just wasn't comfortable there. We repeated over and over our Order, and it still wasn't right,then we were over charged. So finally before completely being done with this place , we decided the food had to do this place some justice. Sadly it wasnt seasoned at all, the only iten that had any flavor or seasoning was the Salsas. If this place only sold Salsas ,it would be a hit . Not trying to away anyone from going here to each there own ,but we will not be returning,and will not recommend this place to anyone. Love the Culture , not the cold atmosphere and looks when you walk in the door.

PLEASE bring back the cook that was there a couple weeks ago! That food made me addicted and I need it! Everything was 10X better and the salsa wasn’t just tomato soup.

I really use to like this place bc of the food. I use to frequent this establishment alot but cleanliness is an issue for me. The last time I visited I ordered a barirria & it was full of fat instead of meat. The lady took money, wiped her face with her hand then proceeded to fix food. I had to let them know bc I watched all of them. No one ever washed their hands. I went today bc my adult daughter requested it. As of February 16, 2024 their sanitation grade is 94 which means they have some work to do. I've worked in the restaurant business for 32 yrs, I know!! Again I got a barirria & it was Very bland!! I spent $46 & I won't be back.

I love their sopes, carne asada street tacos and the way they do their rice and beans. The pico de gallo is so fresh and delicious. The agua frescas are always yummy.

The food was very bland and not to the standard I expected from an authentic Mexican food restaurant. We also ate at the location and neither mine or my husband's food were very good. Honestly, bigger name Mexican restaurants had more flavor which do not reflect in the ratings of this restaurant.

Awesome food! Got the Birria torta, which came with a side of consommé, and it was perfect! Small sitting area ,but they have a drive-thru option. Service was good, the employee that took my order answered my questions about the different menu items. Haven't tried other Mexican restaurants in the area, but this location will probably be my go-to.

Everything tasted wonderful and fresh. All items were made to order, exactly as they were ordered. This is an authentic Mexican restaurant, do not go there looking for Americanized dishes. Even if you think you know what you are ordering it may look different from a Tex-Mex or American style restaurant. The decor is bright and welcoming, with cultural music playing at a great level in the background. Our family highly recommends this restaurant and is so happy that it is in Cleveland County. We will return often!

The food is awesome. I do wish they had chips and salsa like other restaurants. But the food and service is on point.

Good people, good food and good friends. The atmosphere is fine. I'm just not into gambling and alcohol in the paintings. Just my personal preference.
