“This is by far the best food I have ever had in Cookeville since moving here in 1994 !!!
I had the Birria Tacos and the shredded beef had a tender,juicy and smoky flavor that can't be beat.
The service was outstanding. Our server was the most pleasant and helpful. Really reminded me of our Granddaughter 😆.
This is where we will be going from now on.
Can't wait to try some of their other dishes.
Very highly recommend.“

“Love these dudes. The barria tacos are insanely good. They always make me feel at home, even though I'm just visiting. One day I came over to place an order, and they had some bologna tortillas with jalapenos eggs and onions, on their lunch break! Dude, they asked me to pull up and eat with them... OF COURSE I DID!!

I Love these guys! They work hard and deserve your support. Check them out!“

“The food here is consistently excellent, especially the grilled steak, which is easily some of the best Mexican-style steak in the area. We order takeout fairly often, and our orders are almost always accurate and well-prepared.
The main downside is parking. It can be a bit tricky to find a spot, and without a dedicated pickup area, you sometimes have to rely on luck or wait for something to open up.
Aside from that, it’s a great place overall and definitely worth coming back to.“
