Best Mexican restaurant in town,hands down! You can't beat his flavors or his prices! And now his son is cooking next door and wow! He gets it honestly! If you haven't tried them, I highly recommend you do!

Honestly being nice giving this place a 4 star but the quality was good enough to push it to 4. In realty this place is more like a 3.5 star. The food was overly dry and unimpressive.

This is a tiny restaurant with tables and chairs that are not attractive. The bathroom was gross. The food was great!! Good prices! Many Latinos visited the restaurant while we were there. Good sign of great Mexican food. And it was great!!!
