Total ripoff. Tiny burritos for 15 dollars. They serve 3 day old guacamole full price and the tortilla is old and breaking. Go elsewhere.

Menudo was bland homoney was still hard and meat was not chewy in all I ate it but... It could have been better for 15 $$

Parking: There were packed so I had to go through the drive thru.

It’s what a call the good Mexican meat market. I’ve brought pounds and pounds of meat for the cookouts and sweet breads for the meetings. I’ve never tried their cooking but if the meat is good I can see where they would mess up on the cooking. The guys claim that it’s really good stuff

I don't like writing negative reviews, but we were very disappointed in the restaurant. For the price, the portions were skimpy, and the chicken fajitas were awful. It's unfortunate because it has an interesting, and fun atmosphere.

The food is Pleasant enough. They also have a butcher shop inside. The language barrier here is very real but if you are patient. They will work with you.

We knew as soon as we walked in, this would be authentic Mexican food. I got the asada enchiladas with verde topping. It was open-faced made on soft corn tortillas, but don’t let that fool you or judge it harshly; when you cut and bite into it, my mouth recognized tasty enchiladas. The salsa verde was so delicious, we made sure to scoop it all up onto the enchiladas. It was served with beans and rice that had corn cooked into it - so good I scooped all that up too! Everyone else was also very happy with their meals. We loved the clay pottery dishes the food was served on. We drove from way out of town but if I’m ever through here again, I will absolutely come back!

The Menu is in Spanish but the waitress answered all our questions.
The food was amazing and the portions large enough to fill you up.
