Recent Reviews
This place is amazing. The employees are so nice, and the owner is so friendly. Atmosphere honestly depends on the day, because a nice sunny day, it's nice, but if it's raining, not so much. I got an absolutely massive chicken fajita nacho plate and lengua taco, and was very impressed. That is my go-to order at any new Mexican restaurant I'm trying, and they nailed it. They also own the new restaurant in the old Salsarita's at Clinton Highway and Callahan...

This was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. The service was great and the employees were extremely nice. I plan on going back and trying their other location on Clinton Highway.
