The food was authentic and prepared well with fresh ingredients! The server was very professional and warm. A few people were inside eating when we arrived, but it never had gotten crowded, which was nice for a Saturday.

Best nachos ever! Every chip is the "best nacho chip" with cheese, salsa, jalapeños, and beans. We always get the street corn and gorditas. Their wings are very good as well. Staff is extremely kind and attentive. Its a neighborhood byob spot and its fantastic.

This place is great. First time I went I didn't know it was byob and when I asked for a beer they insisted to go get me a six pack. Very friendly and the food is great. The best salsa verde I've ever had and they have short rib enchiladas... just go there and support this place. We need places like this to be successful. You won't be let down. Great place.

I ordered delivery and got the most inedible order of tacos dorados I have ever had. Truly the chicken were pieces of rocks and I could not chew them if I tried. Not sure what happened here but I would not order from here again.

The food here is amazing! Coming from California I've had trouble finding places that I really enjoy, but this place.... I almost want to keep it a secret but I really want them to succeed so I can keep eating here.

I cam across this restaurant as I was in Southern Philadelphia for an event and wanted to get lunch. I have not had mexican in a while so when I saw one near me I had to try going. Getting there was a bit rough. The restaurant is at the corner of a street surrounded by housing and a lot of one way roads where most can only park cars on one side due to street cleaning signs or it was too narrow. Once I got that sorted I was able to make my way to the restaurant just fine. There was not a lot of seating but just enough where it is probably a local family business. the lady running the register was very nice and patient with me. I ordered my food and sat down. I started off by going to the bathroom to wash my hands and my food was ready shortly after i returned. Very straightforward experience. I was the only customer in the restaurant at around noon, so the lady left to stay in the back kitchen as i enjoyed my food. It was pretty peaceful, there was music playing and a soccer game on the big tv so it was a nice ambience to just take a break from the day and focus on the food. Overall it was a local establishment that's probably not on too many people's radars but if you're in the area you should give it a chance

Finally a Mexican Restaurant that satisfies my tastebuds! The guacamole, corn on the cob, and burrito were flavorful & delicious. Seasoned and fresh ingredients. I’m really hard to please, you guys nailed it. Bonus: my food was warm upon arrival!!
