Had a great experience at this taco spot! The food was delicious—we split a few tacos for a snack, and each one was packed with flavor. Our waiter was really nice and made the experience even better. The restaurant had a fun, lively vibe that made it a great place to hang out. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re craving tacos!

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for almost twenty years. It is the perfect place to get fresh authentic Mexican food. It’s low key, quiet and cozy. The salsa is second to none. Try their chorizo on anything. Also, their chicken platters, and chiliquillies are really delicious. Their food is so fresh and not greasy at all. Back in the day, I ate here four times a week. It is not just my favorite Mexican food in Chattanooga, it’s my favorite restaurant. Period. Try it....
