Holy Guacamole. If you order from here get a side. It's a good portion for the price and excellent. 5 stars for that.. The pork is alright.. Spicy means spicy so the weak at heart be prepared. Happy with my first time delivery.

Only complaint was that the food took a good bit of time to come out, but other than that service was good, and the food was amazing! Just don't go if you're short on time. Their hot sauces were also excellent.

We came to Harrisburg for a 5 day event and worked until 7 pm. This restaurant was open late so we checked it out. So good. Very authentic Mexican food with clean ingredients. The corn tortillas are from scratch. They cater to vegetarian and did an amazing job with offering beans that don’t have animal products in them. Well done! I will absolutely return year after year!

This is a great restaurant! The food was fabulous! The staff were exceptional! We found this place near our hotel and stopped in for a late lunch. We were met by a friendly and helpful staff! The ambiance of the restaurant was nice.

It took ~15 minutes from the time we were seated until we were asked our drink orders and another ~15 minutes to get our drinks. I ordered a corona and was given a margarita at that point I didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes. Our food took almost an hour to arrive and it was brought piecemeal where half our party had food and another ten minutes later the rest of the party got food. Even then key things like tortillas arrived after the fajitas. Add on top the nickel and dime of charging $4 for tortilla chips and another $4 for fajita toppings (lettuce and sour cream). These are items cheaper Mexican restaurants hand out for free instead I paid about two times the cost of other local Mexican restaurants for food that wasn’t even as good as the cheaper restaurants. Save your time and money go to Plaza Azteca or El Rodeo this place missed the mark

This is our second time eating here even though it’s been 4 yrs since first visit! Very sweet, pleasant young man was our server & the food came out extremely prompt. We had guacamole and chips (small portion but chips were hot & crispy), shrimp ceviche (served in a mound on a plate instead of goblet), shrimp quesadilla and fajitas mixtas. The fajitas were the best my companion has ever had; sizzling hot cast iron pan with a huge portion of shrimp, steak, and chicken. The quesadilla had large pieces of shrimp and was served with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. Really tasty. We also had the red sangria and skinny margarita. Also very tasty. Our big disappointment and surprise was the charge of $3.00 added to the check for some shredded cheese requested for the fajitas after they had been served. Thought that was a little over the top to add that charge to a $20. dish considering the tortillas and rice had been declined with no reduction in price (which we expected). None the less I would still recommend this restaurant for flavorful Mexican food.
