Great food, awesome service nicest people… love this place
I lived in Mexico 8 years, and I am thankful the ONLY Mexican restaurant in the area is excellent. The food is fresh and authentic. Fernando is a one man show in the kitchen, and even when its busy he keeps things moving along. If it takes an extra 10 minutes to get your food, it's worth the wait.
Miss eating there hope to be back soon for a small town the food was excellent
